HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Bagumbayan is once a sitio of Centro Poblacion. It was separated from the Poblacion during the Martial Law in 1972. The word bagumbayan when translated in English would mean “New Town”. The place was named Bagumbayan because of its nearness to the town’s mercado (market place). In 1919, there were only 10 families residing in this place.

A fiesta is celebrated every 26^th day of December in honor of their patron saint, St. Stephen Protomartyr. Also, they celebrate the Santa Cruzan every month of May.
