History
The former barrio, now the site of the town proper or poblacion, was once the biggest and one of the progressive barrios located in the far south of the mother town, San Carlos (now a city).
As early as 1918, influential and prominent citizens of the then barrio of Basista came together and initiated an attempt to petition the municipal government of San Carlos and the provincial board of Pangasinan to grant the status of township to their barrios. Prominent politicians during that time volunteered their help in making representations with the proper authorities, but their request was not granted.
On September 5, 1961, President Carlos P. Garcia issued Executive Order No. 446, creating the town of Basista composed of 13 out of the 28 barrios that petitioned.[1] Four years after, however, the Philippine Supreme Court declared the town's creation as being without legal basis, citing their ruling in the "Emmanuel Pelaez vs. Auditor General" that "municipalities created under Executive Orders are void". It was here that Republic Act No. 4866 filed by Pangasinan 2nd District Representative Jack L. Soriano was enacted into law and legally created Basista as a town of Pangasinan.[2][3]
