During the Spanish rule, the colonial government adopted the Reduccin policy. This resettlement
process coerced inhabitants of far-flung scattered ancient barangays to move into a centralized
cabecera (town/district capital) where a newly built church was situated.

Reduccion System was a resettlement policy employed by the Spaniards which was designed for a
convenient administration of the colonies. The Spanish authorities enticed the natives to live near the
churches, or within hearing distance of church bells (in Spanish: bajo de la campana). Looking back,
Christianity was introduced based on the Filipino natives' familiarity in animist belief. The faces of the
anito and diwata were changed to that of the great saints. The horrifying creatures, such as aswang and
kapre were transformed to devils in Christian faith. Fiestas and festivals, then as native ritual feasting,
were celebrated in honor of the town's patron saint. Some natives remained firm, not obeying this
Spanish imposition. Such were called vagamundos - people living from one town to another so that
they'll be "excused" from paying tribute.
