Municipality of Pozorrubio

(Dr. Jacinto C. Cabero, Jr. is Principal II of Nantangalan Elementary School – Webmaster)

History does not repeat itself. But we must know the history to understand the future.

The history  of Pozorrubio could also be known by way of looking back at the significant existing markers or places and studying the story  behind it. These historical markers are as follows:

The improvement and the new – look of the Municipal Hall was made possible during the term of Mayor Artemio Q. Chan. It is located within the Original “cuatro calles pueblo” of Pozorrubio. It was surrounded by what we now call Caballero St. Penoy St. Sison St., and Rizal St.

The old Municipal Building (Gumaca Type) was built during the Administration of Don Florentino Magno (1922-1928).

In 1939 the foundation of a small church called “visita Y Ermita in Barrio Claris were laid down which was later finished in 1842. Spanish priests from San Jacinto used to come to officiate / say masses.
When Pozorrubio  became an independent town on January 13, 1870, and became an independent parish, a temporary church (the first one) was built in the areas site at Cablong (now the town proper) after it was transferred from the original site at Claris now barrio Amagbagan). The new church was blessed on July 26, 1879 by Fr. Julian Lopez. Sta Filomena was chosen its patroness.

When the mid-thigh to sometime neck-high floodwaters receded its rampaging fury to a slow stop, Pozorrubio was a scene reflective of what you had been staring at raptly on screen since Ondoy – dark chocolaty mudmix drying then draping everything with throat-choking sticky, itchy sand. It caked fields, grains, streets and feet; it matted floors, walls, furniture, food stocks and clothes.

As reported previously, immediately the day after Pepeng swept through Pozorrubio, 1000 relief aid in family packs were released to the barangays hit the hardest. As of today, October 22, the Local Government Unit under the personal initiative of Mayor Emma Chan through its working arm, the Municipal Social Welfare Department (MSWD), was able to distribute 3,217 of the said packs. Each pack contained (with some variation) rice, sardine/tuna tins, noodles, coffee, milk, sugar.

Gold-tipped stalks waved from the fields. The farmers would have reaped an unprecedented harvest.

On October 8, 2009 from midmorning through the rest of the day and night, 650 hectares of riceland was reportedly inundated by waves and waves of floodwaters rushing down neighboring mountains and all the open floodgates of the San Roque dam.

Pepeng did not distinguish the villages from the fields. Floodwaters swirled and surged from knee-deep to chest-high. Fearing for their safety, 2,350 families from 11 barangays or roughly 11, 350 persons sought refuge in their barangay schools. 67 families or 450 persons, mostly from Villa Pozorrubio, were brought to the Municipal Gym. Only the big dump trucks could navigate the sea rolling through the narrow streets of the subdivision.

One of the prospective candidates for Ms Pozorrubio Town Fiesta gave her nod to joining the annual search for hometown queen as early as the month of August. Through the internet yet!

It did not take much to persuade the lady; Dorie is one of the ever-increasing number of Pozorrubians who believe and trust in the leadership of the present administration. She is willing to lend a hand, to be of help. She would even go through the length of appealing to other Pozorrubians and their friends to do the same. All to a good cause. And there is no better cause than the town and the people she calls her home.

Below is Dorie’s appeal to all Pozorrubians in the United Kingdom of Scotland, Ireland and England. And if possible, Europe even!

My name is Adoracion Medina. My married name is Dorie O’Hara-Pringle. I am a seasonal resident of
