 HISTORY OF BARANGAY PANTALAN

Long time ago there was a river at the Western part of Lutod-Lutod (President Roxas). This river
can be found from the mountain of Barangay Cabugcabug penetrated going down to Tinagong Dagat.

This river has an estimated width of forty meters and a depth of almost twenty feet. It was used as
landing place of the fishermen from the other neighboring islands to trade the fishes, crabs, clams,
prawns, shrimps, oysters and other seafood products caught from the sea.

In World War II, Japanese Era, the place had been used by the Filipino as hiding place because of
its tall bamboos, shrubs and trees located in the area. The aforementioned river was also used by the
Japanese in transporting their supplies and equipments during war.

After World War II, the river had been used by Central Azucarera del Pilar as wharf in exporting
their finished-products to the parts of the Philippines. Because of the wide-span of the river, it was also
used by the fishermen as wharf for their fishing vessels.

In the operation of Central Azucarera del Pilar at Lutod-Lutod, its management installed railway
connecting the wharf going to central compound. Because of the railway and wharf they had installed,
they could simply transport their molasses, sugar and other products conveniently from the wharf to their
compound, vice versa.

The wharf had also used in importing of fertilizers, limestones (apog), seafood and other
agricultural products came from its adjacent provinces at Western Visayas such as Iloilo and Bacolod.

Because of the increased of employment and population in the area, most of the people
established and built their houses near on the vicinity.

People residing in the area named the place as Pantalan which means pier or wharf.

At first, it was recognized as Pantalan Cabugcabug as one of the sitios of Barangay Cabugcabug.

On June 14, 1949 by virtue of the enactment by the joint session of the Congress and the Senate
of the Philippines. Republic Act 374 was signed into law by Philippine President Elpidio Quirino, making
the Sitio as the new Municipality of President Roxas. The municipality was named in honor of President
Manuel A. Roxas (a renowned Capizeo) and was officially inaugurated on November 30, 1949. RA 374
provides for the conversion of sitios into barrios and its separation from the municipality of Pilar. The
barrios include Aranguel, Culilang, Pandan, Pinamihagan, Quiajo, Sangkal, Pondol, Marita, Madulano,
Jaboyana (now Vizcaya), Cabugcabug, Goce, Badiangon, Bayuyan, Agbobolo (now Manoling), Ibaca and
Elizalde (Poblacion).

In the mid 1950 and 1960 the first appointment for Teniente Del Barrio at Pantalan Cabugcabug
was conducted in appointing Mr. Leodegario Alado by the Municipal Mayor.
 In 1961-1963 Mrs. Beatriz Pareo was the first female and second Teniente Del Barrio of Barrio
Pantalan Cabugcabug. After the leadership of Mrs. Pareo, she had been followed by Mr. Claudio
Amador in the year 1963-1966.

In 1966, Eddie D. Orquio had been chosen by its inhabitants to be the next Teniente Del Barrio of
Barangay Pantalan. Eddie D. Orquio served the barangay for 2 consecutive years.

In an election conducted in 1968 Pablo Bucayan had won against the incumbent Teniente Del
Barrio Eddie D. Orquio. Pablo Bucayan served the barangay for 2 successive years from 1968-1970.

In the year 1970 an election was conducted, for the second time around Pablo Bucayan decided
for re-election for Teniente Del Barrio, but he was failed. His opponent had won against him and that was
no other than Eddie D. Orquio.

Eddie D. Orquio served Barrio Pantalan Cabugcabug as Teniente Del Barrio for twelve (12)
consecutive years from 1970 1982.

Because of the population increase of Pantalan Cabugcabug in 1970, it had been separated from
Barangay Cabugcabug and it was named as Barangay Pantalan, one of the barangays of the municipality
of President Roxas, province of Capiz.

The seat of government was placed at Barrio Elizalde in the Poblacion, which was the former
Sitio Lutod-Lutod. Barrio Carmencita, Cubay, Sto. Nio and Pantalan were later created. Barrio Hanglid
was created after 1970.

Due to bad health condition, Eddie Orquio had been replaced by the first elected Barangay
Kagawad Roble Morales.

Roble Morales served as the Acting Barangay Captain in the year 1982-1983.

In 1983 an election of Sangguniang Barangay had been conducted Mr. Eduardo D. Orquio, Sr. the
brother of the former Eddie Orquio had been elected as Barangay Captain.

Eduardo D. Orquio, Sr. served Barangay Pantalan as Barangay Captain for twenty-four (24)
successive years, in the year 2007 Eduardo D. Orquio, Sr. ended his term of office.

In the year 2007 synchronized Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Elections the former
Punong Barangay Eduardo D. Orquio Sr., got appointed as one of the Sangguniang Barangay Members as
replacement for his elected Barangay Kagawad son, Eduardo Eddie Boy V. Orquio Jr. because of the
transfer of the residency of his son (Eddie Boy).

Eduardo D. Orquio, Sr., served as one of the Legislators (Sangguniang Barangay Members) under
the administration of the newly elected Punong Barangay Mr. Felipe F. Contreras Sr.

Another synchronized Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Elections conducted

nationwide last October 25, 2010. Mr. Sergio Andama Jr., aspired to be the next Punong Barangay of
Barangay Pantalan, but unfortunately the incumbent Punong Barangay Mr. Felipe F. Contreras, Sr. won
against him and continued his service as the Punong Barangay of Barangay Pantalan.
