A Blog from Betsog Jugo

My dear friends and kababayans,

This is just a follow-up on the forthcoming Tanay Fiesta celebration to be held on Sunday, the 18th of Jan 2009.

I know you have not yet gotten over from the exhaustive preparation during the Christmas holidays and now, here comes New Year and then, of course our fiesta! Whew!

But here I am asking for your indulgence to assit me in inviting other Tanayans to attend our Fiesta in LA. This will assure our other kababayans who are not able to go and celebrate fiesta in Tanay, that they too, will enjoy a successful and memorable mini fiesta in LA.

FYI, a Mass in honor of St. Ildefonso will be officiated by Rev. Fr. Felizardo Daganza of St. Benedict Parish Church in Montebello, CA. The Mass will start between 2 & 3 PM at the Normandale Recreational Center, 22400 Halldale Avenue, Torrance, CA 90501.

We will have a Potluck and please arrive on or before 12 noon. I will provide water, cups, paper plates, forks and spoons, napkins,etc. Please bring your sodas, cooked rice aside from your favorite Tanayan dish to share and brag about, huh!

If you have any questions or suggestions, please call me at (310) 487-1135 or email me at Betsogjugo@yahoo.com ASAP.

Thanks and see you on Sunday, the 18th of Jan 2009!

Sincerely,

Betsog

Tanay is a 1st class municipality in the province of Rizal, Philippines. It is located 57 kilometers east of Manila, although a typical commute between Manila and Tanay will take between one to three hours depending upon traffic conditions. It contains portions of the Sierra Madre Mountains and is bordered by Antipolo City in the northeast, Baras, Morong and Teresa in the west, General Nakar (Quezon Province) in the east, and Pililla, Santa Maria (Laguna province) as well as the lake Laguna de Bay in the south.

According to the census of 2000, it has a population of 78,229 people in 15,720 households.

The majority of the population consists of Tagalogs who live near Laguna de Bay, though there is also a significant percentage of mountain dwelling people living in the northern portions of the municipality. The town's major trades consist of fishing, agriculture and regional commerce.

Tanay is also believed to be the birthplace of the Sambal language.

Tanay History

Tanay was settled by early Austronesian people. Shortly after the conquest and subjugation of Manila by the Spaniards and the surrounding lake areas by Juan de Salcedo in 1570-1574, Franciscan missionaries arrived to Christianize the inhabitants of what is now the Morong-Pililla area. In 1583, both Morong and Pililla were created as separate towns with Tanay forming part of Pililla.

Tanay was founded as a separate pueblo (town) in 1606 under the name "Monte de Tan-ay". In 1620, administration was moved to San Antonio (now called Inalsan or Pantay) and Tandang Kutyo. In 1638, the town was burned during an uprising of Chinese living in the area, and the town was rebuilt in 1640 at the present day location.

In 1747, the town of Tanay was consisted of only eight barangays, namely Nuestra Senora del Rosario, Sa Josep, San Ildefonso de Tanay, San Francisco de Maytubig, San Pedro de Alcantara, San Lucas y San Antonio, San Apostol and San Agustin de Balugbog.

In 1853, a new political subdivision was formed. The town of Tanay together with Morong, Baras, Pililla, Angono, Binangonan and Jalajala form the Province of La Laguna, with the capital at Morong. This district was later changed to Distrito Politico-Militar de Morong after four years.

Tanay became a Municipality in 1894 as an effect of the Spanish Maura Law. The first election of Public Office took place in 1895-1898 and 1898-1900 under the Revolutionary Government of the Philippines.

Tanay members of the Katipunan fought valiantly during the Revolution against Spain. The town was the headquarters of the second military area of the Philippine Revolutionary Government under General Emilio Aguinaldo. And for a brief period between 1899 and 1900, Tanay served as the capital of the then Morong Province after Philippine-American War broke out and the American forces invaded the lake towns and captured Antipolo.

In 1900-1901, Tanay as was under the Government appointed by the American Military under Taft Commission. From 1903-1934 the town leadership was under the American Rule then in 1934 Tanay was under the Commonwealth of the Philippines as the Tydings-McDuffie Act was approved on March 24, 1934 until the Philippines fell to the hands of the Japanese during the Second World War in 1942.

In 1942-1945 the Mountains of Tanay served as the Military and Guerilla base for 'Marking's Guerilla's, begining Siege of Tanay on March 1945 a very decorated by the Filipino soldiers and Filipino guerillas against the Japanese occupation forces during World War II. Gen. Marking is buried by the road beside his son's farm in Daraitan.

In October 2003, deposed Philippine president Joseph Estrada was transferred to a rest home in Sampaloc, a mountain barangay. He remains under house arrest.
