History

The town of Pinamalayan is one of the oldest in the province of Oriental Mindoro. Its territory once went as far as the old settlements of Sumagui and Anilao which are now part of the towns Bansud and Bongabong respectively. The Town of Pinamalayan was also a former part of Pola until it got its permanent township status in the early years of American Colonization while Gloria was separated from Pinamalayan in 1964.

Legend of town's origin

The town of Pinamalayan is close to the shore at the mouth of the river of the same name. The town's name was said to be taken from the word “Ipinamalay na” which means to make aware or to show the way or it has been made known to us. According to an old story, the early settlers of this town came from Marinduque. While they were on their way to Mindoro in their big bancas (boats), they encountered turbulent weather and lost their way. They prayed to the God Almighty for deliverance and guidance, whereupon, the weather cleared and a rainbow appeared on the horizon, and guided them towards safety and to a place where they discovered abundant resources and endless promises. The crew shouted “ipinamalay na” (it was made known).

They followed the direction of the rainbow believing that at its en lies a pot of gold and good fortune. They finally landed at what is now Barangay Lumambayan and established the first settlement which they named Pinamalayan. They found good fortune in the new land which brought them prosperity because of the good soil and abundant resources.

Some other sources attribute the name Pinamalayan simply to the fact that the area was once a vast area planted to rice, hence the name “pinagpalayan” or “Pinamalayan”. Since then the place grew and became a town. However, during the entire 18th century, Pinamalayan was one of the coastal areas frequently attacked by Moro Pirates. People were decimated and many field to the interior for safety. In spite of all these, the town site remained in that place until 1916 when it was transferred by the Americans to its present site.

Spanish period

The history of the town has its ancient beginning antedating far back with the advent of the Marinduque settlers in the early part of the 18th century who landed on the shores of the old settlement at Lumang-bayan. The first village was implanted there by the newcomers pushing back the pagans into the interior. In the course of time and subjected by the ravages of Moro piracy, the natives had to fight back the buccaneers as well as the tulisanes at the end of the 19th century. The old Lumang-bayan was the town up to its transfer to the present site on or about 1914. The Recollect Order first established a part of the second ecclesiastic district of Naujan and extend as far as Bongabon, assigning St. Agustine as its titular (Patron Saint).

The pattern of this town's territorial expansion dated back during the Spanish time when the villagers of Pinamalayan, Pola, Sumagui, Anilao and Bongabon belonged to one ministry district. That pattern was closely adhered to in the later part of the Spanish regime from 1888 to 1890. It was organized as a permanent settlement with Juan Morente, Sr. as gobernadorcillo and succeeded by his son, Juan Morente, Jr., as Captain (Mayor) in 1890–1894. When the revolution broke out against Spain, Pinamalayan took up arms and underwent some government changes under the provisional Malolos government headed by Juan Medina in 1898. When the Spaniards surrendered, Morente Jr. became governor of the province of Mindoro while Cornelio Nable was appointed as the municipal president.

American period

In the Filipino-American War, the American forces took possession of the town, placed it under a military regime from 1901 to 1902; appointed Cornelio Nable as its first President under the new civil government. Reorganized on April 28, 1904, under Act No. 1135 of the Philippine Commission, the municipalities of Bongabon and Pola were annexed to Pinamalayan as barrios. In the following year, on January 4, 1905, under Act No. 1280, the municipality of Pola was annexed to Pinamalayan as a barrio. In 1914, Pinamalayan was organized as a regular municipality. Since then, a new town site has been proposed, selected and surveyed for expansion. This new town site was planned by Governor Juan Morente, Jr. and Mr. Thomas I. Weeks. The American planners made sure that this new town will be laid out properly according to a planning system of wide symmetrical vertical and horizontal roads with proper drainage facilities. A big plaza was further constructed in front of the municipal building. Pinamalayan still stands as a model in town planning to all the municipalities in Oriental Mindoro.

In 1914 to 1916, during these years under review, the national high way to Pinamalayan has also been proposed and completed in 1931.

In January 1912, Pola was separated from Pinamalayan as township and in 1920, Bongabon was separated from Pinamalayan as a municipal district under Act No. 2824 of March 15, 1919. Agriculture and business developments gradually increased with opening of roads. More people immigrated since then; this position of publics land has hastened; homesteading increased and greater areas of uncultivated lands were turned to production.

Japanese period

On or about January 20, 1942, the Japanese Army from Calapan occupied the town and appointed Carlos Aguilocho and M. Medina as occupation Mayors. On or about January 15, 1945, the American Army from San Jose landed at Pinamalayan and liberated it from the enemy. Substantial progress has been made in the rehabilitation of the town since 1946. Municipal roads were repaired and extended, three big bridges were constructed (Balete, Nabuslot, and Lumambayan), a water system and a new market were constructed, a puericulture center and the beautification of the town plaza were undertaken. In 1948, Quinabigan was declared a national sub-port. The town is composed of six big barrios, namely; Lumang-bayan, Quinabigan, Nabuslot, Panggulayan, Maligaya, and Balete.

Typhoon Melor

On December 15, 2015, Pinamalayan is hit by Typhoon Nona (Melor), which made its fifth landfall.[5] The town is badly damaged by the typhoon, with 15,000 homes devastated, about 83% of the 18,000 houses destroyed in Oriental Mindoro, and 24,000 families evacuated.[6]

Geography

The town of Ipinamalay (now Pinamalayan) is close to the shore on the river of the same name about 2-3/4 miles- south-westward of Bugot Point. The Pinamalayan River whose source originates from the mountains north of the town empties at the mouth of the old Lumang-Bayan River. Stretching from Mount Dumali in the north-eastern part of the island high and prominent, the coastal trends southward with a succession of sweeping curves towards Pinamalayan Bay to Duyagan Point.

The town is bounded on the north by Babahurin Hill and extends towards the north-west which meets the town of Pola. Towards the south and north, the town lies on an extensive plain and is low and flat towards the south direction to Balete and up to the boundary of Bongabon. About 90% of its area is located on its level plain which extends into the interior. It is intersected by three rivers, namely; the Lumangbayan, the Balete and the Pula Rivers which are short and never navigable. The town is exposed to the north-east monsoon, but with the mountain facing north, it is safe from that direction.

According to an old story the early settlers of this town came from Marinduque While they were on their way to Mindoro in their big bancas boats they encountered turbulent weather and lost their way They prayed to the God Almighty for deliverance and guidance whereupon the weather cleared and a rainbow appeared on the horizon and guided them towards safety and to a place where they discovered abundant resources and endless promises The crew shouted ipinamalay na it was made known They followed the direction of the rainbow believing that at its en lies a pot of gold and good fortune They finally landed at what is now Barangay Lumambayan and established the first settlement which they named Pinamalayan They found good fortune in the new land which brought them prosperity because of the good soil and abundant resources Some other sources attribute the name Pinamalayan simply to the fact that the area was once a vast area planted to rice hence the name pinagpalayan or Pinamalayan Since then the place grew and became a town However during the entire 18th century Pinamalayan was one of the coastal areas frequently attacked by Moro Pirates People were decimated and many field to the interior for safety In spite of all these the town site remained in that place until 1916 when it was transferred by the Americans to its present site Spanish period Edit The history of the town has its ancient beginning antedating far back with the advent of the Marinduque settlers in the early part of the 18th century who landed on the shores of the old settlement at Lumang bayan The first village was implanted there by the newcomers pushing back the pagans into the interior In the course of time and subjected by the ravages of Moro piracy the natives had to fight back the buccaneers as well as the tulisanes at the end of the 19th century The old Lumang bayan was the town up to its transfer to the present site on or about 1914 The Recollect Order first established a part of the second ecclesiastic district of Naujan and extend as far as Bongabon assigning St Agustine as its titular Patron Saint The pattern of this town s territorial expansion dated back during the Spanish time when the villagers of Pinamalayan Pola Sumagui Anilao and Bongabon belonged to one ministry district That pattern was closely adhered to in the later part of the Spanish regime from 1888 to 1890 It was organized as a permanent settlement with Juan Morente Sr as gobernadorcillo and succeeded by his son Juan Morente Jr as Captain Mayor in 1890 1894 When the revolution broke out against Spain Pinamalayan took up arms and underwent some government changes under the provisional Malolos government headed by Juan Medina in 1898 When the Spaniards surrendered Morente Jr became governor of the province of Mindoro while Cornelio Nable was appointed as the municipal president American period Edit Aerial view of Pinamalayan 1935 In the Filipino American War the American forces took possession

Pinamalayan as a barrio In 1914 Pinamalayan was organized as a regular municipality Since then a new town site has been proposed selected and surveyed for expansion This new town site was planned by Governor Juan Morente Jr and Mr Thomas I Weeks The American planners made sure that this new town will be laid out properly according to a planning system of wide symmetrical vertical and horizontal roads with proper drainage facilities A big plaza was further constructed in front of the municipal building Pinamalayan still stands as a model in town planning to all the municipalities in Oriental Mindoro In 1914 to 1916 during these years under review the national high way to Pinamalayan has also been proposed and completed in 1931 In January 1912 Pola was separated from Pinamalayan as township and in 1920 Bongabon was separated from Pinamalayan as a municipal district under Act No 2824 of March 15 1919 Agriculture and business developments gradually increased with opening of roads
