Town History
Bauan comes from the Tagalog word bauang that means close or concealed and rugged mountain. Bauan was one of the principal barrios of Taal from the late 16th century up to the middle of the 17th century. The original site of the old Bauan (1590-1662) was a place called Tambo, which was along Bonbon, Taal Lake and at the slope of Mt. Macolot. The town was relocated thrice: to Durungao (1662-1671), to Duclap (1671-1690) and then to Tulusan (1690-present).
When Bauan was made and transformed to be a legal town, it consisted of the towns of San Jose (formerly called San Jose de Malaking Tubig), Cuenca (then part of San Jose), Alitagtag, Mabini (Calumpang Penunsula), Tingloy (Maricaban Island) and San Pascual (formerly called Lagnas). The towns of San Jose, Alitagtag, Mabini and San Pascual were separated from Bauan in 1767, 1910, 1918 and 1969, respectively. In 1876, Cuenca was separated from San Jose and in 1955, Tingloy was likewise separated from Mabini.
Bauan was the First Class Municipalit in Southern Tagalog Region (the former Region IV) after the reclassification. Today, Bauan is the most industrialized municipality in Batangas Province.

Notably, ICTSI’s Bauan International Port is actually struggles the boundary of Barangay San Andres 1 and San Roque, it is disputed due to some lands of ICTSI is actually inside San Andres 1. This is verified by residents of the Ilaya part of San Andres 1. As of now, residents don’t know where is the boundary of the two barangays.

Religious Attribution and Miracles :
Bauan’s Main Catholic Church as detailed in this section
The mission of Bauan was founded as a visita of Taal in 1590. It was administered by the Augustinians from 1596 and onwards when the first church was built at the slope of Mt. Maculot along the southern shores of the Taal Lake until the end of the 19th century. Another church was built in 1667 probably under the supervision of Fr. Jose Rodriguez (OSA) when it was relocated to Durungto. The church was again relocated in Lonal (or Loual) in 1671 by Fr. Nicolas de Rivera (OSA) who probably had a new structure built. The last relocation was in 1692 (or 1690) in its present site during the administration of Fr. Simon Martinez (OSA) who probably had a new church built that was damaged during the typhoon of 1694. Fr. Ignacio Mercado (OSA) had this rebuilt from 1695 to 1697. The church again suffered damages and was replaced by a stone structure during the administration of Fr. Blas Vidal (OSA) from 1700 to 1710. Fr. Jose Vitoria (OSA) who also introduced the cultivation of indigo in Bauan initiated building the present church in 1762 that was continued until 1856 during the administrations of Fr. Jose Trevino (OSA) and Fr. Hipolito Huerta (OSA). It was completed under the supervision of Fr. Felipe Bravo (OSA) in 1881. From there until 1894, final decorations were supervised by Fr. Moises Santos (OSA) and Fr. Felipe Garcia (OSA). The church is said to be the most artistically built in the province of Batangas during that time. Father Bravo was also an imminent botanist who put up a museum of natural history and collected rare books that were lost when the church was razed by fire during the Philippine revolution against Spain in 1898. The church was probably rebuilt and again destroyed by fire in 1938. It has been restored since then.
Five years after the establishment of the ecclesiastical mission of Bauan, a giant cross made of anubing, a local hardwood was found in a dingin (a place of worship) near the town of Alitagtag that was said to have protected people of Bauan from pestilence, locusts, droughts, volcanic eruptions, and Moro raids. Based on a document found in the Bauan Cathedral Archives in 1790, Castro y Amoedo stated that the cross was made in 1595 from a very strong post of a demolished house and erected in the village of Alitagtag to drive away a plague of ghosts. The cross was described as 2.5 meters in height with a 1 meter crosspiece. It featured a golden sun embossed with a human face with radiating rays where the arms intersect (shades of anito worship). The cross was also said to walk around the village (perhaps while driving away the ghosts) and that water gushed from one of its arms.
The miracles attributed to the cross attracted many devotees and a decision was made to move it to the bigger Bauan parish church. However, one priest tried to bring the cross to his church in the capital town of Taal but was prevented from doing so when “the sky became cloudy, and it began to thunder and emit dreadful lightning bolts”. Before its enshrinement in Bauan however, the cross has decreased in size because devotees has chipped away pieces of the cross that were made into miniature replicas and were worn as necklace talismans. A Fr. Manuel de Zamora was also reported to have cut more than 1/3 from the foot of the cross (that were perhaps made into more miniature replicas) and distributed in Manila where a number of miracles were reported. What was left is what is being venerated today in the Bauan church.
The town, the church, and the cross were later moved to a place called Dungarao to escape the violent eruptions of Taal Volcano, then to Loual (or Lonal) , in an unidentified place in 1689, and finally to its present site near the sea in 1690 or probably 1692. Today, the people of Bauan pay homage to the cross by dancing the Subli. It is said that the Subli preceeded Christianity in the Philippines and is in fact even pre-Spanish era’s religious ritual. People still go the dingin or sambahan (where the cross was first erected) to pray.

Photos of Cebu from the 38th floor of the Crown Regency Hotel & Tower
While going down by the lift, I have seen this two girls and a man seems practicing to jump from the building,
bungee jumping, I guess.
The ticket for going up on the 38th floor cost Php 380 for two, free entrance with free meals, however
we are hurrying to go to Waterfront Hotel and SM Cebu, so we skip the free meal in Crown Regency Hotel & Tower.
We have a very limited stay in Cebu and unable to visit the hometown of my paternal grandfather in Carmen Cebu. My maternal grandfather is from Luzon.
Other photos of Cebu I will post later while cruising the Phillipine inland sea bound for Batangas City where our
ship will undergo the annual drydocking before sailing back to Japan.

TO ALL THE FRIENDS OF MANILA HIGH SCHOOL
Dear Stakeholders:
It is inspiring for me to note of your kind-hearted assistance extended to our students. Marami salamat sa Dutch Choir “Afrika Engakoor”!
Allow me to share with you the blessings of hard work, perseverance, and passion to find ways and means in uplifting the condition of our school in general.
As veterans of hardship, pain, and series of challenges, our school administration, teachers, city officials, DepED officials, PTCA and other stakeholders are focused on alleviating our dear MANILA HIGH SCHOOL state of affairs for the welfare and benefits of our main-clients- the students.
Demolition of the North Wing building along Victoria Street is done and the good news is – through our humble representation in the Local School Board we were given Fifty Million Pesos (Php50,000,000.00) to start phase I of New Manila High School building in the area now on ground zero.
The architectural plan has already been made by then City Engineers Office-Manila which we have submitted to Intramuros Administration for approval pursuant to the provisions of PD 1616. We have also Fifteen Million Pesos (Php15,000,000.00) fund for the foundation awarded by DepED Central office ready for implementation by the Department of Public Works and Highways.
On Monday 19 – 21 January 2009, I’ll be attending a national conference on Principal-Led Building Program to make another representation for our school with the hope of securing additional fund for Manila High School. There are many more blessings to come. Trust on your incumbent Principal and his administration that with the assistance of other stakeholders, the challenges we have now will soon be things of the past.
Stay with us. Mabuhay kayong lahat!
Very truly yours,
ARNULFO H. EMPLEO
Principal
