PROFILE OF BARANGAY STO. TOMAS, Camaligan, Camarines Sur

PROFILE OF BARANGAY STO. TOMAS
By: Dominador N. Marcaida, Jr.
SB-Camaligan, Camarines Sur, Philippines 4401



All our informants, born about 1920 to 1940, agree that Barangay Sto. Tomas existed as a barangay of Camaligan at the time they were born.
Our first informant, Pura Molina Agpay, widow of Aproniano Agpay, told us that since their marriage in 1938, both she and her husband resided in Naga City where their first daughter Dolores was born. In 1942, at the onset of the Japanese occupation, they left Naga City and evaciuated to Gogon, Dugcal, Camaligan, at the house of the spouse Francisco Agpay and Leoncia Abesa until the end of World War II. From 1946, during peacetime period when the Americans finally liberated the Philippines from Japanese invaders, they rented the property of Cornelio Abesa and Nena Capucao at Barangay Sto. Tomas as tenants until 1952. This property of the Abesas at Sto. Tomas was the adjoining property of Sinforoso Hernandez on the east side, which eventually became part of his property through sale in 1970. In the late 50’s, the couple Aproniano and Pura Agpay was able to buy  their own residential lot from Santiago Hermosa, where they  now reside. Aproniano Agpay provided well for the needs of his family by being an ambulant fish vendor in Camaligan.
Our second informant is Amando Hernandez, the son of Sinforoso Hernandez. He corroborated the story of Pura Agpay regarding the adjoining property of the Abesas occupied by our first informant in 1950, which his father eventually bought in 1970. In addition to this information, our second informant told us that the property where their ancestral house was located was also bought by his father from a certain Marcelo Valenciano and Catalina Rebuquiao, both natives of Barangay San Lucas, prior to his birth there in April 14, 1941.
Sinforoso Hernandez’s father was Anselmo Hernandez, a native of San Francisco, Camaligan. Anselmo married Patricia de la Cruz. Anselmo had a sister named Vicenta Hernandez who married Hilarion Medrano. Her sister Vicenta and her husband Hilarion resided at Barangay San Marcos, at the property presently owned by the Sagarbarrias. This property of the spouses Hilarion Medrano and Vicenta Hernandez at Barangay San Marcos was bought by them from the spouses Severino Enguerro and Ceferina Abragan (the parents of Rufina Enguerro Baroso) after the latter’s wife died. This property became the present property of the Sagarbarrias when Jose Medrano, son of Hilarion and Vicenta, sold this share of his inheritance to the Sagarbarrias.
            Sinforoso Hernandez was married Apolonia Montero, a native of Iquin, Canaman. Apolonia’s mother, Jacoba Ragas Francisco, however, was a native of San Francisco, Camaligan. Jacoba had a sister also who still resided at Barangay San Francisco, Camaligan by the name of Bonifacia Ragas Francisco, who was the wife of Pastor Alden.
Our second informant told us that during the Japanese time, all the members of the Hernandez family at Barangay Sto. Tomas, Camaligan, evacuated for two years to Iquin, Canaman, on the property of Apolonia Montero, Sinforoso’s wife, to escape the Japanese atrocities. They went back to Barangay Sto. Tomas when peacetime arrived.

            Our second informant provided us a partial list of residents of Barangay Sto. Tomas who took the helm of barangay leadership since after Second World War up to the present, to wit: Engracio Cordial, Sinforoso Hernandez (1947), Victor De Dios, Marcelo Corpus, Rosalio Valles, Marcos Almen (1970-75), Andres Servidad (1976-79), Marcos Almen (1980-86), Efren Reyes (OIC), Jose Agravante (1994-2002), Regino F. Regidor (2002-2007), and Jasmin Medrano Trinidad (2007 up to present).
Amando Hernandez also provided us a list of barangay residents who became prominent in the town of Camaligan: Former Municipal Mayors Elias Agna de Dios (1932-35), Andres Diez (1945), Dalmacio Aurellano (1964-67, 1972-86); Municipal Councilors Jesus Hipolito (1972-74) and Antonio A. Flores (1972-95), and public school teachers Rosalio Alipante and Adela Duran, and Remedios Aguirre. A lone barangay artist by the name of Feliciano “Gabat” Oliva, married to Florencia de los Santos, resided for ten years on the property of Ernesto Arellano. The oldest citizen presently living in this barangay is Margarito Agrado, who is now 93 years old.
Our third informant, Concepcion Valles (married to Roberto Ables), confirmed the story of Amando Hernandez regarding the donation of the barangay chapel site made by her ancestors. She said that her grandparents, Ponciano Valles and Julia Alcantara, were the original donors of the chapel site which occurred in the early 1900’s. It was her father, Rosalio Valles, however, who did the formal signing of the deed of donation to the parish of Camaligan in 1970. Rosalio Valles became a Delegado del Barrio  after Marcelo Corpus’ term.
Concepcion Valles Ables, was born to the spouses Rosalio Valles and Julia Agomaa in 1942 at Sitio Napao, Cagbibi, Pamplona, in her parents’ rice farm. Her family was on evacuation there during the Japanese time.  While they were on evacuation at Napao, Cagbibi, Pamplona, their house adjoining the barrio hermita  at Sto. Tomas, Camaligan, was used as a fuel depo by the Japanese soldiers who were garrisoned at the house of Bartolome Alipante and Ruperta Abad just in front of their house and the hermita. This fuel depot was set afire by Filipino guerillas operating in the area at that time that also burned down the hermita and Rosalio Valles’ house. What was left of the hermita were the hamorawon posts, which, according to another informant, Maximo Corpus, the residents restored to their original location after the war. Groups of residents contributed new corrugated iron to roof the rebuilt barangay chapel, according to Maximo Corpus. Despite the repair, the chapel remained similar to its pre-war condition, consisting of posts, a roof and a wooden cross in the middle of the altar. The image of the Barangay Patron Saint, St. Thomas the Apostle, was a donation of Eugenia Jacob, which she kept at her house for safekeeping. It was only brought out and displayed at the hermita during the May Santa Cruzan and during the yearly barangay fiesta. Intensive renovation of the barangay chapel was undertaken during the terms of Jose Agravante and Andres Servidad.
Concepcion Valles Ables attended doctrina cristiana schooling at Maestrang Titay Aguilar in Barangay Marupit  sometime in 1951. She was in Grade 3 when typhoon Trix hit Bicol in 1954. She was also the classmate of my half-sister, Salvacion, during their elementary years at the Camaligan Central School.
            According to this informant, Gaudencia Aurellano was the wife of Juancito Aurellano, the father of Lourdes Aurellano who married Bienvenido Medrano, and were the parents of the incumbent Punong Barangay of Sto. Tomas, Jasmin Medrano Trinidad.
            Bartolome Alipante, Ruperta Abad’s husband, was a USAFE soldier. But much later after he died, Alberta became the wife of Former Municipal Mayor Agapito Loriaga, who had a daughter by the name of Francia Loriaga, whom Ruperta adopted as her own child.  Their house at Barangay Sto. Tomas was considered the most elegant house in Camaligan during the years that it existed. The property of Bartolome Alipante and Ruperta Abad later became the property of Francia Loriaga (now married to Juan de los Reyes).
            Nemesia Cordial was married to Flerentino Reyes of Barrio San Pablo, and were the parents of Fidel, Filomeno, Natividad, Lourdes and Teresita Reyes. The parents of  Nemesia and Elpidio Cordial were Egil and Atay.
            At the back of Sinforoso’s property at the corner of the municipal and barangay roads, were the property of Pedro and Simplicio Alipar.
Catalino San Buenaventura, married to Isabelita Cobillas (sister of Marilyn Cobillas Navera and Danilo Cobillas),  was the brother of Cresenciana San Buenaventura.
            Maximo Aliniante  was married to the Teofila Ables.
            Felisa Cordial, daughter of Constancio Cordial and  Mining Aguillon, married Sergio San Lorenzo (son of Jesus San Lorenzo and Illuminada Mariscal of Barrio San Lucas). Sergio had a brother by the name of Romeo San Lorenzo and sisters by the names of Zenaida and Teresita. When his wife, Illuminada Mariscal, died, Jesus San Lorenzo remarried with Gorgonia, who had children by the names of Hermita, Norma and Jesus Jr.
            Alberta Aguillon was the wife of Jose “Boy” Diez, son of former Municipal Mayor Andres Diez, whose house stood on his property beside the barangay creek (this property is now owned by Marilyn Nepomuceno).
            Reynaldo Iñigo married Estrella Claveria, the daughter of Paz Cordial Claveria. Paz was the sister of Felisa Cordial, the wife of Sergio San Lorenzo.
            Ernesto Arellano was married to Corazon Hipolito, the parents of Barngay Councilor Emmanuel Javier H. Arellano.
            The Aguirre property was originally owned by Luciana Alimuin Aurellano, married first to Victoriano Valles, and later after his death to Estanislao Trinidad of Barangay Marupit. Luciana was the sister of Cipriano Alimuin Aurellano, married to Dalmacia, and was the father of former Municipal Mayors Dalmacio and Francisco Aurellano, and Carmen Aurellano Iraola. Luciana and Cipriano’s mother was Marcelina Alimuin.
            Our fourth informant, former Punong Barangay Jose Agravante, the son of the spouses Jeremias Agravante of Duang Niog, Libmanan, and Rosa Cambaling, narrated that he stayed in this barangay since 1952. He was from San Juan, Camaligan. He was married to Buena Aurellano, the sister of Lourdes Aurellano, whose parents were Juancito and Gaudencia Aurellano. At first, they resided on the property at the back of the barangay hermita. In 1968, they transferred to the Aurellano property.  The Galias compound was previously the property of Julia Agravante and Miguel Dometita.
Barangay Officials during PB Jose Agravante’s term, who first constructed the southern portion of the Barangay Hall in 1991 through funds solicited from Cong. Raul S. Roco and through the efforts of Municipal Mayor Manuel N. Prado, were the following: Barangay Councilors – Ramon M. Almen, Domingo A. Galias, Pedro O. Cordial, Benito M. Hernandez, Antonio San Buenaventura, and Jose M. Jacob Jr.; Barangay Secretary – Ruperto A. Generoso Jr.; Barnagay Treasurer – Ma. Rowena C. Corpus.
            Our fifth informant, Juanita Sta. Clara Macaro (born in 1944), is the sister of Rosa Sta. Clara (born in 1948) who is the declared owner of the Sta. Clara property. Rosa was married to Mauro Badiola of Baao, Camarines Sur. The spouses now reside at Pacita Complex, San Pedro, Laguna. Juanita and Rosa’s brothers and sisters include the following: Andres (died 1925), Mariano (+), Pedro (+), Natividad Sta. Clara Austero (now resides in Albay), Clara Sta. Clara Dometita (lives just in front of her house on the other side of the road), Isabel Sta. Clara Eduardo (wife of Bernardo Eduardo, a former Rural Bank of Camaligan employee).  The property of Enriquesto and Josefa Bautista were once part of their property, but was sold to the Bautistas by her brother Mariano, which property became a part of the share of his inheritance. Juanita further informed us that, during the Japanese time, their family evacuated at Barangay Sua, Camaligan.
            Our sixth informant, Isabel Acuatin (married to Marcos Almen), born in 1926, was the daughter of Leoncio Acuatin  and Fidela San Juan. Her brothers and sisters were the following: Salvador (the eldest and served as a Philippine Army soldier during the World War 2. Bartolome Alipante was Salvador’s wedding sponsor in 1942 when he was married to his first wife, Expectacion. When his child, afterwards his wife, died, he went to Manila and remarried there.), Salome and Sancho. Her parents first resided in barrio San Jose at the property of Miguel and Culing Adversario, which was later sold to Macario Agomaa where his house now stands. Then, they transferred to the Alimasa property (now Carmen Buenaflor San Juan’s property at San Pablo) when her mother became the guardian of the child Cristino because his parents were always away from home most of the time. She started to reside in Barangay Sto. Tomas before her marriage to Marcos Almen in 1947. They then resided at the property of the spouses Mariano Almen and Telesfora Rebuquiao, the parents of Marcos Almen. Marcos’ other brothers and sisters were the following: Alfredo, Magdalena, Telesfora Almen Baylon, Arsenio, Salvacion Almen Angeles, and Jose. Marcos Almen sold the share of his inheritance in the Marinao Almen property to Rufina Adversario, who sold it in turn to former Punong Barangay Regino F. Regidor. After PB Regfidor took possession of the property, Marcos and Isabel Almen transferred to their new property in Zone 1 where their present house now stands. They bought his new property from Epifanio Terbio at the cost of P35,000 in 2002. But the original owner of this property before Epifanio Terbio was Elpidio Mauricio, son of the spouses Serafin and Justina Mauricio.
            The property next to theirs on the north side was previously owned by a certain Juan who was the janitor of Camaligan Central School. This is now part of Ramon and Juliana Antonio’s property.
            Barangay officials during PB Regino F. Regidor’s term, who improved the barangay hall in 2002-2007 through the barangay 20% EDF, were the following: Barangay Councilors – Emmanuel A. Galias, Manuel Javier H. Arellano, Emmanuel R. Abias, Dulcenea A. Tolosa, Jose A. Silerio, and Armando A. Almen; SK Chairman – Janice DB. Pagao; Barangay Secretary – Emiline Anacin; and Barangay Treasurer – Francia A. Rabina.
            Our seventh and last informant, Maximo Corpus, Sr., was born in March 24, 1926 at Barangay Sto. Tomas to the spouses Genaro Corpus and Cesaria Trinidad of Barangay Marupit, Camaligan. His mother Cesaria was the daughter of Mauricia Abias who was married to a certain man surnamed Trinidad from Marupit, Camaligan who begot Cesaria (married to Genaro Corpus of Sto. Tomas, Camaligan) and Vicente Trinidad [married to Catalina de los Santos and begot Rufina (married to Lisie Lee), Flaviano (married to Constancia Adante), Francisco (married to Biviana Agagad), Natividad (married to Roberto Enguero) and Caridad (married to Nilo Bala)].
            This informant  remembers Mauricia to be very old at the age of 80 years old when he was just then a child.  Mauricia Abias was sister to Benita Abias, the wife of Mariano Apring.
            This informant’s other brothers and sisters were the following: Veronica (born in 1922), and Marcelo (born in 1924).
This informant married Filomena Cordero of Poblacion Pamplona, Camarines Sur, in 1947. Their offspring were the following: Asuncion, Mario, Danilo, Fernando, Maximo Jr., Remigio, Rowena, Wilma and Eduardo.
Maximo remembers the first moments of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, particularly when it reached Bicol. It was sometime in November 1942 while he was gathering his palay harvest on their farm at Patong, Pamplona when he saw over his head the first flights of the Japanese war planes over the Bicol sky. He also learned that a Japanese bomb was dropped on the rice fields adjoining the Marupit public cemetery but did not explode. This bomb was later recovered by residents living in the area. When the Japanese came to occupy Naga City, a certain Lt. Felix Espiritu (married to Josefina Sta. Ana of Camaligan), a Filipino guerilla officer,  ordered him to evacuate the five sisters of the Daughters of Charity at the Colegio de Sta. Isabel to Sitio Napao, Cagbibi, Pamplona. Here, the five sisters stayed for two years, until the end of the war, at the house provided by the guerillas.
Other evacuees form Camaligan who stayed with this informant at Sitio Napao were the following: the families of Former Mayors of Camaligan Teotimo Rebuquiao of San Marcos (his wife Eugenia Rebuquiao) and the children of Elias Agna de Dios (Jose, Victor and Vicente de Dios), the families of Vito Agna of San Juan, Concepcion Valles, Felix de los Santos (Tito de los Santos’ father) of Sto. Tomas, and the brothers Flaviano and Leon Cambaling of San Juan. While on evacuation, the informant’s house in Sto. Tomas provided additional quarters for Japanese soldiers. Their house was situated just next to Bartolome and Alberta Alipante’s house being occupied by Japanese military officers. Later they learned that the floor boards of their house were carted away and used by the Japanese for some other purposes.
When the hermita was burned down in 1945, he helped in its rebuilding by putting back the hamorawon posts on their original locations. They used salvaged lumber to construct new rafters and beams for roofing. Groups of residents contributed pieces of corrugated iron to be used as roofs. He confirmed the story of Concepcion Valles Ables that the barangay patron saint’s image was kept at the house of Eugenia Jacob’s (Gabriel Jacob’s mother) house. Maximo attended doctrina cristiana at Maestrang Minay’s house, who resided at the Abesa property that had been vacated by the spouses Aproniano Agpay and Pura Molina in 1952. His classmates there were Ramon Reyes, Luis Diez, Visitacion Apring, among others.
The source of livelihood for most residents of barangay Sto. Tomas during his days were the following: vending various goods and perishable commodities at the Naga market, rice farming (farmers from Sto. Tomas, Camaligan at sitio Napao, Cagbibi, Pamplona, were Rosalio Valles, Mariano Almen, Eulogio Ables, Marcelo Corpus (tenant of Andres Diez, but his farm was later sold to Agapito Loriaga but finally sold it to Marcelo), Maximo Corpus (tenant of Pedro Agomaa and Silvina Adayo, the parents of Macario and Fermin Agomaa of San Jose, Camaligan), Felix de los Santos, Catalino Alipante, and Sinforoso Hernandez (who owned rice farms at San Francisco and Tarosanan, Camaligan), and fishing (Residents constructed bamboo fish cages (tambongs) along the banks of the Bicol River to catch fresh water fishes. Our informant said that boatloads of fishes were caught in ricefields during those days.)
Maximo Corpus Sr. told us that, in Sitio Napao, there were more farmers from Camaligan than from Pamplona itself. The reason he said was that during those days, if one was industrious enough to clear wide areas out of the forested landscape as far as his finger could point, he could claim and register them as his own. Hence, many Camaligueños, from Barangay Sto. Tomas in particular, were able to claim wide areas because they were then very industrious.
The informant, Aurora Añez Mora, supplied to us the information regarding the ancestry of her grandparents, Leonila Jacob and Florencio Francisco. According to her, Leonila Jacob was a native of Camaligan, while Florencio Francisco was a native of Pamplona, Camarines Sur. They married and begot the children Godofredo (single), Guillerma [married to Aquilles Añez who begot Aurora (married to Anastacio Mora) Manuel (married to Carmen Aguinaldo), and Lourdes (married to Pacifico Bautista)], and Asuncion [married to Gonzalo Chaneco, married first to Epifania Lim who had a children with her by the names of  Lilia (married to Eulogio), Marlene (married to Lazaro Rosales) and Grace (married to Jeffrey Gapola); then remarried to Asuncion Jacob and Gonzalo Chaneco begot Rosario (married to Inocencio Ipo), Nael (single) and Hononito (married to Meyan) ].
When Leonila Jacob’s first husband died, she remarried to Andres Diez who was a native of Zumarraga, Samar. Andres Diez was first married at Zumarraga to a certain woman who begot him two children by the name of Paz (single) and Felina (single). According to this informant, Andres Diez could have arrived in Camaligan from Samar in the early 1920s accompanied by the two kids of his first marriage. Then he remarried to Leonila Jacob, the widow of Florencio Francisco, and they begot Jose “Boy” Diez (married to Alberta Aguillon), Milagros (married to Miguel Pardiñas) and Luis (married to Salvacion Reyes).
Another informant, Maximo Corpus, told us about the Jacob’s family ancestry in Camaligan. Bartolome Jacob of Camaligan married a woman from Gainza, Camarines Sur who bore the surname of a certain Gregorio. Bartolome Jacob and this woman begot Rufina (single), Felino (married to Alejandra), Leonila (first married to Florencio Francisco and then, later, to Andres Diez), and Maximo Sr. [first married to Eugenia, and then to Asuncion Ocampo who begot him Eustaquio (single), Nida (married to Oscar Candia), Emma (married to Rey), Angelita (married to Melchor Antonio), Maximo Jr. ( a catholic priest), Ernesto (married to Clara Bola),and Salvacion (married to Eustaquio Dispe)].
According to Maximo Corpus, there was another Jacob by the name of Gabriel Jacob who was married to Francisca. These were the parents of Julia, Eugenia [married to Facundo San Lorenzo and begot the children Remedios (married to Vicente Luz), Jose (married to Primitiva Collantes), Vicente (married to Mercedes Nacional), and Nicanor (married to Rosita)], and Rufino (married to Andang).
Crispina Alpodo, the wife of Telesporo Corpus, and the parents of Genaro Corpus, had a sister by the name of Victoria who was married to a certain Agomaa and another sister by the name of Dominga, the wife of Casimiro Agusa of Tarosanan, Camaligan, who begot a certain child by the name of Mariano Agusa (1881-1926).
The Agomaa Family ancestry includes the following: Pedro (married to Silvina Adayo and were the parents of Macario and Fermin Agomaa of San Jose, Camaligan); Potenciano (married to Florencia Ansay) was the son of Victoria Alpodo of Sto. Tomas, Camaligan; Florencio (married to Simplicia Dacian Marcaida of Mangayawan, Canaman, Camarines Sur) was the son of Simplicio Agomaa and Petra Iñigo of San Lucas, Camaligan; and Ernesto (the father of Julia Agomaa) of Barrio San Juan, Camaligan, who was the brother of Florencio Agomaa.
The Abias Clan of Barangay Sto. Tomas originated from the spouses Roman Abias and Consolacion Mañago of San Mateo, Camaligan (sister of Ramon Mañago who was married to Paz). This couple begot Francisca (married to Arsenio Ocampo who begot the children Blesilda, Danilo, Emily, Mila, Angelita, Arsenio Jr., and Carmelita), Salvacion [married to Roger Cariño who begot Roger Leo, Salvacion Lora, Salvacion Lina, Salvacion Liza, Roger Antio, Roger Melchor, Salvacion Lourdes), Consuelo (married to Elias Enguero who begot Teresa (married to Celso Sevilla), Antonio (married to Pilar Bolivar), Belen (married to Cristino Villanueva), Danilo (married to Marissa Sarmiento) Marilyn (married to Casiano Buenagua) and Aida (married to Felix Bautista)); Catalina [first married to Sixto Salvador begot Carmen [married to Roger San Juan begot Vivian (married to Ronaldo Francisco), Virginia (married to Rena Iñigo), Vilma (married to Allan Conde), Violeta (single), Nory (married to Ronald Cenco), Vina (single), and Rogelio Jr. (single)] and second marriage with Isidro Buenaflor who begot Ely (married to Gelly Lo), Rebecca (married to Hector), Jose (married to Meling), and Buena], and Antonia [married to Felix San Buenaventura who begot Edwin (married to Joy Iraola), Eva (married to Leopoldo Macalintal), Ariel (married to Vilma Lantin) and Annie (married to Ruel Gardoce)].
There was also another Salvacion Abias of Barrio Sto. Tomas who was married to a certain Marcelo Flores who was the father of Antonio (married to Consuelo), Roque, and Magdalena (married to Felix Aliñar). Salvacion Abias’ sister by the name of Fausta Abias was married to Juan Flores of San Lucas, Caamligan who was Marcelo Flores’ brother. Salvacion and Fausta Abias’ brother was Roman Abias (married to Consolacion Mañago and begot the children as listed above).
 A certain Julian Flores of Marupit Camaligan first married a certain woman who was surnamed Asico, the sister of Alejandro Asico of Gogon, Dugcal. This couple begot Basilia Flores (married to Pablo Antonio of San Francisco, Camaligan who begot Mariano, Narciso, Francisco, Fausto and Pablo Jr.), Calixto Flores and Teodora Flores (married to Pedro Alemania). Then Julian Flores remarried for the second time and he married Tomasa Ragas [(daughter of Agapito Ragas and  Canuta Capoles) and begot Simeon Flores (married to Rosa Lumbria)].
Ex-Mayor Pedro Flores (1924-1927), a widower who had children whose names were Domingo and Maxima (married to Marcelo Medrano of San Roque, Camaligan) remarried Bernarda Alacdan of Tarosanan, Camaligan.
