History
Summarize
Perspective
Originally and before the Spanish and later American Invasions, majority of the people living in Kolambugan belonged to the Maranao Tribe. According to folk stories from the old leaders of Kolambugan during the Spanish occupation, some of the leaders from the interior areas of Lanao del Norte usually crossed the beach of the municipality of Kolambugan to the beach of Ozamiz City by boat. These leaders did this to catch people living in the other side of the bay and make those people as workers (personal helper). In Maranaw term, these workers were called "Bisaya".
There was also a story that one of the families in Kolambugan, the Mutia Family from Zamboanga del Norte and Misamis Occidental, originally came from the interior area of Lanao del Norte and even at present, this story still exists because according to the tale, the great-great-great of the Mutia Family once lifted a small book hanging in the center of their house and said to the children that it is forbidden to open or to touch the book, and according to the story, after many years have passed and somebody dared to open the book, they saw unfamiliar writings in the book (Spanish and English languages), and some said that the writings also looked like Arabic letters.
After a long social process, sometime in 1935 – 1944, under the National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA) of the Commonwealth Government, there was a Philippine House of Representative proposal to invade Mindanao so that some parts of it can be used to help the Philippine Government. Not everyone was agreeable to this proposal and one of the oppositions during that time was Congressman Datu Salipada Khalid Pendatun. However, said proposal was approved and signed by then President Manuel L. Quezon. The settlers came from the islands of Luzon and Visayas and they brought with them knowledge and experience of Agriculture, Technical, Farming, Lumber, Carpenter, etc. The first batch transport were landed to the following areas:
- Some parts of Zamboanga Peninsula
- Misamis Occidental
- Lanao del Norte
- Misamis Oriental
- Some parts of Surigao
- Some parts of Davao
- Some Parts of Cotabato
In Lanao del Norte, the transport of settlers was peacefully successful due to the smooth negotiations with the Maranao Tribal Leaders and Land Lords. As a welcome sign, the Land lords donated pieces of land (a piece of land at the time were more than 5 hectares) to start the settlers' new life. In return, the settlers worked for the land owners, and were gifted a small piece of land. Some say that the settlers traded items with the land lords in exchange for a piece of land. Several settlers married with the descendants of the land lords, until the majority of the population in Lanao del Norte and Misamis Oriental has Maranao Tribe blood (Muslim Blood).
Executive Order No. 37, s. 1936, signed on June 4, 1936, prompted the organization of the municipal districts of Kolambugan and Buruun into an independent municipality.
On July 1, 1936, by virtue and power of the Executive Order No. 37, President Manuel L. Quezon declared Kolambugan as one of the municipalities of Lanao. The Lanao province was then further divided into Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur.
In 1956, the barrios of Tangcal, Berowar, Pangao, Tawinian, Lumbac, Lawigadato, Somyorang, Bayabao, Pilingkingan, Ramain, Bagigicon, Lamaosa, Meladoc Big, Meladoc Small, and Rarab, then part of Kolambugan, was constituted into the municipal district of Tangcal.[6]
Formerly the largest town in the province, the following towns/barrios were separated from Kolambugan:
- Tubod (October 17, 1946)
- Lala (March 22, 1949)
- Baroy (June 10, 1949, note that according to the act, additional land was to be given to Tubod and Baroy)
- Salvador (January 13, 1960)
- Bacolod (May 10, 1956)
- Tangcal (June 16, 1956, as a Mun District)
- Maigo [with Bacolod] (February 27, 1959)
- Magsaysay [with Tubod, Tangcal] (March 22, 1960, as a Mun District)
