(First of a series from historical archives)
The town name of Bontoc was not known during the Spanish regime until 1887 when it was established as the seat of the district. Bontoc was made headquarters of the Commandancia Politico-Militar de Bontoc, subordinate to Politico Military District of Lepanto in January 1857. A Royal Order issued on June 24, 1858 created the District of Bontoc as an independent military command. It was one of the ten politico-military commandancias established in the Cordillera between 1847 and 1891 by the Spanish colonial government to gain political control over the independent tribes of the Igorots. Since its establishment in 1857 up to the withdrawal of the last commandant Commandante Xandaro in 1898, the Bontoc-based military command led or participated in at least ten punitive expeditions against the Spanish government.
Despite its superiority in arms, the Spanish garrison of Bontoc was the target of attacks launched by defiant Igorots wanting to maintain their independence. Governor General Primo de Rivera a decreed an ultimatum to all independent tribes to submit to Spain before April 1, 1891, which resulted in an uprising staged by villagers of Bontoc on May 9 of the same year. Armed only with bolos, spears, head axes and shields the Bontoc warriors beset the garrison killed nine Spanish soldiers, and wounded many more. After setting fire to the buildings, the warriors fled to the mountains with enemy heads and other spoils to celebrate their victory despite the loss of some 70 lives among their own men. A bigger uprising in December 1884 in protest of new tribute regulations was aborted by the Commandancia using paid spies among the Bontocs.
In August 13, 1898, the Americans defeated the Spaniards in Manila. The Bontoc garrison, which became a refuge for retreating Spanish soldiers and missionaries, was finally taken over by Bontoc warriors on September 3, 1898, aided by the revolutionary forces of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo who himself was seeking refuge in the Cordillera from the American troops. However, that victory was short-lived due to the immediate setup of the U.S. military government under Gen. Arthur MacArthur as governor general and occupied the archipelago including the Cordillera driving Aguinaldo to Ifugao and finally to Palanan, Isabela where he was captured on March 23, 1901.
Bontoc was part of the Lepanto-Bontoc administrative province in 1903, which was later divided in 1918 into three sub provinces of Bontoc, Lepanto and Amburayan. Each sub province was headed by a governor. During the U.S. occupation, the Philippine Commission passed Act No. 1870 in 1920, which organized the Mountain Province. The new province consisted of seven former commandancias as sub provinces, with Bontoc as its capital.
During World War 11, the Japanese occupied Bontoc on June 1942 until the end of the war in September 1945. During the occupation, Dr. Hilary Clapp, one of the first educated Igorots was appointed governor. Bontoc suffered heavily during the retaking of the U.S. troops.
Pre-Spanish and Spanish Period
The Spaniards came to colonize the Philippines and taught Christianity among the people. Most of their activities were concentrated in Manila, Central Luzon and in Visayas. The discovery of the settlements in this mountain region was because of the search for gold by these colonizers. Spanish colonists launched their first expedition in 1574 to survey the gold deposits of Northern Luzon. They failed in their expedition but because of their desire for gold, it kept them coming back in spite of their fierce reception of the native settlers.
In 1620, Captain Garcia de Aldana Cabrera led a troop to offer the Igorots reconciliation and friendship in exchange for the Igorots submission to Spanish rule acceptance of Christianity, and payment of one-fifth of all the gold they mined sent to the King of Spain (Scott 1974). However, the Igorots declined Cabrera’s proposal saying they did not need any of what they offered. Intimidated at discovering what kind of fighters the Igorots were, and after three months of staying in the mountain, he failed in his attempt to appease with his terms so he hopelessly went back to the lowlands with every little gold in his possession.
An expedition followed in February-July, 1624 composed of 1,748 Spaniards, Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, and 500 Ilocanos. This was led by Captain Alonzo Martin Quirante. His group was able to return with 5.6 tons of ore which were sent to Mexico for gold concentration testing. Due to high cost of the project and the casualties, the projects have done the Royal Audencia proposed to abolish the project and the Spanish forces were thereafter pulled.
After 17 years, (1641) two Spanish missionaries reached the Igorot region but again failed to establish a settlement. In 1663, another military expedition was sent to explore but it only reached as far as Benguet. In 1667, an expedition led by the Governor-General himself Diego de Salcedo was able to arrive in Kayan in Lepanto where the Spanish troops camped. They continued exploring 150 other villages including Mainit, where most of the operations were made. Kayan and other villages were deserted by the Spaniards after two years of unproductive explorations and no subsequent expeditions were ever launched in the Cordilleras for the same purpose in the next mm200 years.
In 1831, A Spanish explorer
Guillermo Galvez wanted to visit the Lepanto-Bontoc area for the first time
after 200 years as this was not fully penetrated by the earlier expeditions. He
launched an expedition in January 1-8, 1835 to the “Ibusaos” and “Guinanes”. He
followed the Abra River in trail from Candon reaching as far as Mainit and back
to the coast via Piddigan and Narvacan.
Again in 1850, Guillermo Galvez and Antonio
Hernandez, a mine engineer was sent back to Mountain Province and this time,
they went into the territories of Lepanto, Bontoc and Kiangan. Some of the
missionaries who went with the group remained in Bontoc and Lepanto trying to
convert the hostile tribes but later left the mission due to overwhelming
obstacles.
The priest from neighboring Ilocos
region made frequent visits to the mission. In 1852, Bontoc and Kambulo were
the first generation to suffer the implementation of new 19th century policy of
outright conquest and occupation to establish and re-establish Spanish
authority or actually to collect tribute. In their formal expedition, people
were intimidated by the display of arms and exploratory and exploratory
expedition as well as smaller actions which have left their only traces in dull
bureaucratic account in Manila. In 1857, a series of Commandancia
Politico-Military were extended to the heights of the Cordillera and one was
established in Bontoc.
In June 24, 1858, the Bontoc District was
established as an independent military command by virtue of a Royal Decree. At
that time, there were already 10 Politico Military Commandancias in the
Cordillera. In 1859, the hostile people of these interior regions; Western
Ifugao and Southern Kalinga were finally subdued and a commandancia was
established in Bontoc with a Spanish Garrison. With the trade relations between
the Igorots and the Lowlanders, many Ilocanos came to Bontoc to settle their
families. Among the early immigrants were Vicente Galo, Juan Balagtas, Miguel
Balinag and others. Some of them intermarried with the Bontocs.
In February-March, 1868 joint military forces
under Commandant Juan Alvarez, Montero, and Gonzales-Montero of Bontoc, Lepanto
and Isabela respectively spent 40 days subjugating Kiangan, Hapaom, Mayoyao,
Bunhian, AhinSilipan(Alimit) and Banaue. In June 30, 1875, the Civil Guards in
Bontoc waged an expedition towards the Kalinga border of Bontoc. In December of
the same year, all commandants admitted the need for the missionary work in the
taming the pagans so a Royal Decree was issued for the purpose of evaluating
the local condition in the colony.
The Bontoc Commandant assaulted
Barlig in 1886 due to the killing of a Talubin man and Samoki woman. However,
the commandant’s troops were wiped out and only three were saved. Lieutenant
Mendicota followed after with a larger force only to come back with only seven
heads from hid troops remaining.
A royal decree was issued by Governor General
Primo de Rivera in January 14, 1881 requiring all independents tribes to submit
to the Spanish Government by April 1 of the same year. This decree was first
enforced to the Bontoc area hence, 6,000 Bontoc were already paying an annual
vassalage fee of 12 centavo voluntarily and with out pressure.
On February 3, 1881, Father Rufino Redondo
arrived from Lepanto. He handed out free clothing and held a mass for the first
time in Bontoc. He explained the Royal Decree that provided, “The Mountaineers
live in town proper”. It further required that “Whenever the natives visits
their official centers, they must appear in breeches and coats”. This decree
caused vigorous protest not only from the Bontoc Igorots but also from the
neighboring towns. Not long after, an uprising was led by the people of Sagada
and was joined by their neighboring towns. In anger, the Igorots killed the
Spanish soldiers, burned and destroyed their garrison and properties. Because
of this, the government sent more Spanish troops whom were better armed and
burned the town with the help of tribal enemies of Bontoc. When the Bontoc
people learned of the enforced submission of the people to Spanish sovereignty,
they attacked local allies in May 9, 1881, where they lured the troops on duty
and burning a lowlander’s house, then killed four (4) of them outright and
wounded many. Five died afterwards, and they seized the Remington rifles, 80
cows and all the bacon and liquor in the store house. They put fire in all the
buildings and took to the hills the four heads to celebrate in spite of some 70
people lost on their side. On May 1886, an expedition was sent by the Spaniards
to punish the Bontoc for assaulting Lepanto. They were however pardoned.
On April 1 of 1887, eight Igorots from Bontoc,
Lepanto and Abra left Manila to be exhibited the next month in the Madrid
Exposition. They constructed native houses and live there to showcase an Igorot
village. The exposition became the subject of Jose Rizal’s fury as it displayed
his fellow Filipinos in their derogatory condition. When a decree attempted to
extend vassalage to 15 years old at a peso and a half, Bontoc Commandant Blas
Perez Royo promptly replied that people could not possibly meet the payments
which would total more than the value of four years rice production.
This was also the
time when Tanulong and Dalican experienced water shortage, thus to impose a new
tribute is impossible. When a November 7, 1894, decree ordering an increased
payment of 50 centavos as vassalage cedulas from the age of 18 and above was
known, the Bontoc and Samoki chieftains started holding secret meetings to
raise popular opposition.
Representatives
from Ankileng, Antadao, Balugan, Fedilisan, Mainit, Maligcong and Sagada set
December 31, for the seizing and burning of the capital if the decree shall be
enforced, but when the Bontoc Commmandancia Politico Militar commander Juan
Rodriguez was informed of the plan, he immediately wired Manila, and on January
9, 1894m the Governor General suspended the collection of vassalage cedulas.
A Bontoc mission
was now created in 1892. It covered Samoki, Alab, Gonogon, Balili, Dalican,
Guina-ang, Tocucan, Talubin, Maligcong, Caneo, Mainit, Bayyo, Betuagan, Barlig
and Lias. When the Philippine revolutionary forces advanced their campaign towards the
cordilleras in June of 1898, the Spanish troops and missionaries from La
Trinidad sought refuge in Bontoc on July 11 of the same year. To suppress
reported Katipunan movements in Sagada, Commandant Eduardo Xandro headed an
expedition and brought 84 heads from his troops back to Bontoc. On September 3
of the same year, the garrison in Bontoc where Spanish missionaries and
soldiers took refuge was taken over by Filipino forces. They were also able to
occupy the Bontoc headquarters driving the Spaniards away from the Cordilleras.
The missionaries were sent to Cervantes.
American Regime
While the Spaniards
were being driven out of from the Cordilleras, American forces were already
advancing. On November 1899, American forces chased the Philippine
revolutionary forces headed by President Emilio Aguinaldo through the rough
trails of Northern Luzon. And in December of the same year, General Gregorio
delPilar died at Tirad Pass. The battle impended the Americans from advancing
further.
Meantime, Aguinaldo
was already on his way to Cagayan valley via Bontoc and Ifugao.
The Americans arrived in Bontoc on December 23, 1900. They took over the town
under their rule. Since then, they established their municipal government and
stationed a Lieutenant-Governor to take charge of the Mountain Provinces,
Lepanto and Bontoc included. The Americans took notes of the experiences and
Spanish strategies and adding their tactics, they were able to penetrate the
Igorot land with American soldiers armed with Springfield riffles, officers,
teachers, anthropologists, doctors and missionaries, together with enemy tribes
of villages they wanted to subjugate.
They built roads,
schools, hospitals and government buildings in American style. The Americans
created a system of direct American rule by dividing territories into
manageable groups to subdue resistance and instill a definite “personal
influence”. Missionaries who taught formal education in the highlands were just
as effective in appeasing the natives. In several instances, they used the
existing traditions of the natives like the canao and infused their American
modifications and used the event to become mediators between rival tribes and
suggested plans they themselves tailored. They also did not impose taxes on the
natives during their first year of rule.
In March 23, 1901,
General Emilio Aguinaldo was captured and the Americans had already occupied
the whole of Bontoc-Lepanto area. The Americans established a temporary
headquarters in Cervantes and Major Rice was the acting Military Governor until
civil government was established in 1901. After a year (1902), Mountain
Province was reestablished and the Lepanto-Bontoc area was recognized as a
province. There were three sub-provinces namely; Bontoc, Lepanto and Amburayan.
Dr. Hunt was made the Acting Lieutenant Governor was inaugurated in
Lepanto-Bontoc. Each has asset of officers namely; President, Vice President,
and the Secretary-Treasurer, Principal Councilors, sub-councilors for each
barrio and a local officer. The Book of Howard T. Fry, (A History of the
Mountain Province, page 37) states that “Bontoc was recognized into a township
but was given a different form of government from among any other in the
Philippines. Its chief peculiarity was that there were 13 presidentes instead
of one. The Lieutenant Governor acted in the place of president for one
district. The form of government was finally approved in Manila and conferred
upon the Lieutenant Governor instead of upon the council of presidents the law
making power. The council was advisory and does administrative function.
In 1904, Dr. Hunt,
former Lieutenant-Governor of Bontoc brought 214 Igorots and Tinguians to the
Louisiana Exposition in celebration of centenary Louisiana Purchase of 1804. 68
were Bontoc Igorots, 41 Negritoes, 40 SamalMoros, 35 LanaoMoros and 30 Bagobos.
These mountain tribes showcased how they lived in their own villages,
exhibiting their skills in dancing and handicrafts. They were given salaries
and that enabled some to reach home rich.
After the Japanese bombed Pearl
Harbor on December 8, 1941 and Clark Air Base, they occupied Baguio. In the
early parts of February in 1942, Japanese soldiers arrived in Bontoc, and
burned down some houses and left but came back in June 1942 to establish a
garrison in the town. They occupied most of the government buildings including
the Anglican Mission Compound up to 1945. Eyeb was made concentration camp for
American prisoners.
On September 8, 1942, the Japanese established
the KALIBAPI, which was to become the single political party in the country.
The completed constitution was signed in September 4, 1943 and on September 20
on the same year; Florencio Bagwan was elected as the Mountain Province
representative. On the night of April 6 or 7, 1945, Governor Hilary Clapp and
Justice of the Peace Quire had been picked up and killed. They had been blamed
for the capture and execution of Major Ralph Praeger. On June 14 1945 the Field
Artillery and Air Force Units secured Tagudin, Cervantes, Bessang Pass and in
July 9 of the same year, Bontoc was reclaimed by the Americans. General
Yamashita surrendered in Kiangan on September 2, 1945. Upon his surrender, a
terrible prolonged period of hunger and disease affected the people of Ifugao.
From the Diary of Pawid, he wrote: “while
the Japanese were surrendering by the thousands of Kiangan at 90 km. on the
Mountain Trail, at Bontoc, and at Banaue, the people of Nacgacada, Kiangan,
Maggock and Hungduan were the most affected by hunger, sickness and deaths by
the hundreds every day. The Americans gave many of the civilian’s rations and
every time the soldiers finished eating in their mess, a long line of civilians
would take their place to eat whatever remained in the kitchen. Hundreds
struggled to get even a bite of bread or to pick up dropped food and garbage.
Those at the end of the line generally received nothing so naturally everyone
struggled to get to the head of the line. There was nothing to eat in the
barrios for the Japanese ate everything from banana stalks to betel nuts and
coconut shoots. So the civilians remained but Kiangan by the thousands…, sick
of malaria, dysentery and influenza. No matter how many tons of medicines were
distributed every day, it did not seem to check the epidemic.
After the liberation from the Japanese occupation in 1945, Americans chose
Marshall Mayors to head post war rehabilitation.
Other
historical events and sites
On February 24, 1945, the United States war
planes bombed Bontoc to warn the civilians to leave the Japanese forces and
evacuate to the mountains. During this bombing, two persons were killed many
Japanese were hit although they ran to their air raid shelters.
The second bombing took place on
March 13, 1945 when the whole Poblacion and Bontoc Ili were razed to the
ground. No less than 60 persons were killed in the Poblacion excluding those in
the Ili. The stubbornness of the people to leave the Japanese and evacuate to
the mountains resulted to great loss of lives. They were warned many times but
they did not heed the call. It was later found out that the Japanese prevented them
to evacuate.
On the late afternoon on July 8, soldiers from
the “C” company of the 11th Infantry, USAFIP NL entered Bontoc and patrolled
the Poblacion and returned to their outpost safely. Then in July 9, 1945, they
returned and cleared the place from Japanese strugglers who were left behind
either sick, hungry or were caught unaware as rear guards. On the same day, the
arrivals of the 12th Infantry, 66th Infantry, 15th Infantry, 14th Infantry, of
the USAFIP NL made Americans to officially occupy Bontoc. When they arrived in
the place, many people were starving and are vey sick due to scarcity of food.
The Government of the United States immediately provided relief to the people.
On June 12, 1965, a huge fire that started from
one of the big hotels spread into the market and destroyed many buildings and
establishments in the business area. This was considered the biggest fire ever
to hit Bontoc. Nineteen years later in November 1984, another blazed razed
residential houses near the Dangwa Station. This prompted the municipal
government to buy the first fire truck.
Republic
Act No. 4695
The same year later in 1925, Henry A. Kamora
representing the sub province of Benguet filed a Bill proposing for the
subdivision of Mountain Province into two (2) separate provinces. This however
did not push through. A similar House Bill was reintroduced in 1932 and was
presented in the 1935 Constitutional Convention but like the Kamora Bill, did
not gain enough political support.
Thirty years later. In 1962, Honorable Alfredo
G. Lamen and Luis Hora authored House Bill No. 4600 proposing for the
subdivision of the province into five separate provinces. The same bill
suffered the same fate with its predecessors.
Congressmen elect Honorables Juan Duyan and Luis
Hora representing the district of Kalinga-Apayao and part of Bontoc, and the
third district of the sub province of Ifugao and part of Bontoc respectively,
authored House Bill No. 1526 proposing again for the division of the province
into five (5) separate provinces. To ensure passage of the Bill, endorsements
and the resolutions fro the people, political leaders and civil leaders were
forwarded to Congress requesting support for the approval of the bill.
Deliberated by Congress on March 25, 1966, House Bill No. 1526 became law as
Republic Act No. 4695 titled An Act Creating the Provinces of Benguet, Mountain
Province, Ifugao and Kalinga Apayaoon June 18 1966.
Specifically, Section 3 of the Republic Act
states:
“Mountain
Province shall comprise the Sub province of Bontoc and the municipalities of
Barlig, Bauko, Bontoc, Natonin, Sabangan, Sadanga, Sagada, Tadian and
Paracelis”.
Section 7 further
states: “Except
hereinafter provided, all provisions of law now or hereafter applicable to
regular provinces shall apply to the provinces of Benguet, Mountain Province,
Ifugao and Kalinga-Apayao”.
Executive
Order No. 42
From the Office of the Presidents this order
created the municipalities of Bontoc Besao, Bauko, Sabangan, Natonin, Sadanga,
and Tadian (Official Gazette. July 8, 1963. P. 4185).
Mountain Province retained its name with Bontoc
as its capital town but lost the jurisdiction over the vast territory in the
Cordillera. The division resulted in the drastic regression of Bontoc in fifth
class town.
Some
historical sites in Bontoc
Chakchakan. This
was where General Emilio Aguinaldo and his men stopped and rested before
occupying the Poblacion and drove Spanish forces away.
Latang
Bridge. This was where a
detachment of Japanese Forces were wiped out during an encounter with the
guerilla forces in February 1945.
The Cadre
or Bilibid Site. This was the
training ground of the Igorot trainees before the war. This was also the
concentration camp of the Japanese forces during their last days before the
liberation of Bontoc. This was built in 1935. Above the Cadre was a rock known
as “Kissing Rock” where the enemies placed a large gun, believed to be cannon
to harass the guerilla forces and held Bontoc from its early occupation.
Rizal
Monument. The Rizal
Monument withstood all the air bombings of Bontoc during the war. All buildings
and structures of importance were hit but the Rizal Monument still remains
standing at the public plaza
Legacy of
Spanish, American regimes
BONTOC, Mountain
Province -- Besides political administrative
underpinning, the lasting legacy of the Spanish and American regimes in Bontoc
is religion and education. Until now, the municipality hosts the seats of Roman
Catholic and Episcopalian (Anglican) bishops. Records from the Bontoc Roman
Catholic Church reveal that the first baptism held in Bontoc was administrated
by a certain Father Jose Iglesia of the Augustinian Order on November 28, 1893.
The Spanish missionaries however
abandoned the Bontoc Mission sometime in 1898. After a lull for almost a
decade, a group of Belgian missionaries led by Fathers Constancio Jurgens and
Sepulchre arrived in Bontoc in time to celebrate a midnight mass on December
24, 1907 (Benito Miranda 19).
Under the Episcopal Church of the United States
of America (ECUSA), the Philippines as a Missionary District was created on
October 11, 1901 under Bishop Charles Henry Brent. However, it was only in
February 1903 that a survey trip was made to the Cordillera. In August of the
same year, Rev. Clapp was sent to Bontoc to open the mission of the Holy
Comforter.
Both churches established their educational
system that exists today: the Saint Vincent’s School of the CICM and the All
Saints Mission School of the Diocese of Northern Philippines, Philippine Episcopal
Church.
There is no account that points to the names and
number of local chief executives of Bontoc since it was created as the seat of
the district of the same name in 1887. As early as 1918 until the present there
were/are 26 appointed and elected municipal chief executives in various
capacities as District President, District Mayor, and Municipal Mayor who
governed the municipality of Bontoc.
An informal election for municipal presidents
was introduced by Governor Early. At first, the candidates are made to stand
and all the voters select their candidates by forming a line at their back or
just behind them. The candidates having the most followers win. This system was
improved later with the use of colored tags and colors. The candidates select
their colors and each hang a large colored tag around his neck. The voter will
select the color of his candidate from a box and the candidate having the most
colored tags get elected. Later on, this system was again improved where the
use of colors were still followed. The candidates pinned their colors on their
coats or shirts and the voters, upon being called by the clerks get inside the
box the color of their candidate, place it in an envelope and drop at the
ballot box.
This continued until the voting
closes at the end of the day and the ballots are counted in the afternoon. The
candidate with the highest number of ballot count is the one elected. This
system of voting is practiced until the present but instead of colors, the
names of candidates are listed down in paper posted in every chair of the
voting precinct. The voter selects the candidate and fills the ballot given by
the clerks after which it will be dropped in the ballot box. At the end of the
closing time the ballots are counted and the candidate that has the highest
count shall be the declared winner.
