Burgos, Pangasinan
Long time ago in the early part of the last century, a mighty sailor from Paoay,
Ilocos Norte, by the name Matias Guiang, by means of his "ponting" plied regularly
the China Sea between the Ilocos and Zambales for the purpose of trade.
The Ilocano
sailor was popularly known as Matias Gosing due to his congenital defect (cleft palate).
On his return to the Ilocos he told stories of his flourishing trade and decided
to migrate with his neighbors, relatives and friends to Northern Zambales, now the
western part of the province of Pangasinan.
It was discovered that the settlement
was between the municipalities of Agno, Mabini, formerly Balincaquin, and Dasol.
More and more settlers came after Matias Guaing and their number increased so many
times that in about the year 1830 the said Matias Guiang led a petition to the Honorable
Governor of Zambales praying for the establishment of their settlement into a pueblo.
Their request was granted and the new town was named San Isidro after the name of
their Patron Saint San Isidro, and Matias Guaing or better known as Don Matias Gosing
became the first gobernadorcillo.
Occasionally travelers who had never gone to the
town mistook San Isidro Labrador for San Isidro Potot. For this reason in 1913 during
the administration of Presidente Municipal Don Anacleto Ruiz, the name of the town
was changed to Burgos after the name of the Filipino hero Father Burgos.
Hundred Islands - This is a lovely area on the coast north of Manila. As the name implies the region is dotted with numerous tiny islands. Some have beaches to which you can charter a boat. Typically the boat will leave you for several hours on your own private beach.
