Padre Garcia's old name is Lumang Bayan, as it is the former seat of government of the neighboring town of Rosario. The name of the town is derived from one of its most famous sons, Padre Vicente Garcia, a native of Barangay Maugat. He was one of the first defenders of Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere. He and Rizal were friends during the time when they were fighting for the Philippines' independence from Spain.[1]
History
The town was originally part of Rosario and known as Lumang Bayan or Sambat. It officially became a separate municipality on December 1, 1949 through Executive Order No. 279 signed by President Elpidio Quirino on October 11, 1949,[2] with Jose A. Pesigan and Rustico K. Recto as the first elected mayor and vice mayor, respectively. It originally consisted of barrios Banaba, Banay-banay, Bawi, Castillo, Maugat, Lumang Bayan (poblacion), Pansol, Payapa, Quilo-quilo, San Miguel, San Felipe, and Tangob.
In 1952, the town council founded the cattle market or bakahan. This was in direct competition to the established livestock market of neighboring Rosario, which resulted in rivalry, intimidation, and violence at times. But the market succeeded and developed into the biggest auction market in Southern Tagalog. Cattle trade happens during every Friday of the week.[1]
Contemporary
On July 28, 2023, the new five-story municipal hall of Padre Garcia was inaugurated.[3]
