    MIAG-AO

    Miagao became an independent Municipality in 1716. It used to be a part or arrabal of four (4) different

    towns. Record shows that before Miagao became a town, it was an arrabal of Oton until 1580; of

    Tigbauan until 1952; of Suaraga or Suaragan (now San Joaquin) until 1703; and of Guimbal until 1716

    when it became an independent town. It was until 1731, however, when Miagao had its own head.

    The first capitan and teniente mayor (equivalent to mayor and vice mayor in present day set-up) of

    Miagao were Nicolas Pangkug and Diego Sale, respectively. Their "election" was held in Guimbal under

    the supervision of Victorino C. Ma., authorized representative of the governor. Nicolas Pangkug served

    for three consecutive terms of one year each from 1731-1733.

    Before he became town capitan, Nicolas Pangkug was teniente mayor of Guimbal. As a resident of

    Miagao, he was entrusted with the care and supervision of this town until he became the head. Pangkug

    became capitan again in 1735 and 1739-1740. Altogether, he served for six years.

    From 1716 to the present, Miagao has had 133 townheads with Julieta N. Flores, wife of formerMunicipal Mayor General Gerardo N. Flores (ret.), former Deputy Director General of the Philippine

    National Police, as the incumbent Municipal Mayor.

    legend

    According to my grandmother, the Miagao got is name from an old Negrito and his name was

    Miyagaw. And this is the story.. Long time ago when the Spaniards came to that place he asked

    an old Negrito if where they are because they were lost. But the Negrito cant understand the

    Spaniards and he thought that the Spaniards are asking his name and he answered his name to theSpaniards. The Spaniards mistook the answer of the Negrito toughing that it was the name of that

    place. Many years past the people in that place considered Miyagaw as the name of their town

    until it changes its spelling and today it is spelled as MIAGAO.

    Taytay BuniIt was just right beside the national highway, an old bridge called taytay buni. No one knows exactly

    when the bridge was constructed, but locals are sure that this was built during the Spanish period. It is

    located in Brgy. Igtuba Miagao,loilo

    Miagao's hablon: Reviving an old weaving heritageThe Hablon handloom-weaving industry is making a comeback in Miagao, Iloilo. Hablon refers to the

    hand woven textile, made of jusi (banana fiber), pia (pineapple fiber), locally grown silk threads,

    cotton, rayon and other indigenous materials that creates an attractive textile of emerald, lavender,

    pink, tangerine, and crimson colors. Traditionally known for products such as the multi-colored,

    checkered patadyong skirt, bandanas, and household items (mosquito nets, blankets, table runners,

    etc.), Hablon fabric is emerging into a versatile and unique textile, currently making waves in the

    Philippine and international haute couture.

    Hablon also shows great potentials in the global market for textiles, next to the old-time favorite, pia

    and jusi. The weaving industry in Miagao boasts of a long history that date back to the later part of the

    Spanish era, and was formerly known as habol or hinabol made only of fibrous natural materials.

    Ang natutunan ko sa proyektong ito ay may marami pa palang

    magagandang lugar na makikita sa aking lugar. Natutunan ko rin na

    dapat nating pangalagaan ang ating yaman dahil kung mawawala itowala na tayong may ipagpupuri sa mga lugar na ito.

    These are the main school that can be found Miagao. One of them is the

    Miagao Central Elementary School. This is where I graduated in

    elementary before I go to Assumption Iloilo.
