Local government[edit]
The municipal government is divided into three branches: executive, legislative and judiciary. The
judicial branch is administered solely by the Supreme Court of the Philippines. The executive branch
is composed of the mayor and the barangay captain for the barangays. The legislative branch is
composed of the Sangguniang Bayan (town assembly), Sangguniang Barangay (barangay council),
and the Sangguniang Kabataan for the youth sector.

St. Anne Parish Church[edit]

St. Anne parish's present church is made of stone and bricks. The heritage building was constructed
by Fr. Ferrer in 1853 and completed by Fr. Lucas Gonzalez using adobe stones from Meycauayan
City, Bulacan and wood from Betis and Porac, Pampanga. The church is 58 metres (190 ft) long, 14
metres (46 ft) wide and 13 metres (43 ft) high. Parish convent was built in 1866 by Fr. Antonio
Redondo. The massive 1857 hexagonal four-storey belltower has blind and open recesses, keeping
with the symmetry of the faade. It ends in a balustrade dome topped by a cross. [5][6]

Education[edit]
There are 5 prime schools in the town aside from public elementary schools: the Saint Mary's Angels
College, San Isidro High School, Holy Cross College, Sta.Ana National High School and Telesforo
