Tumauini [ˌtumaˈwini], officially the Municipality of Tumauini (Ibanag: Ili nat Tumauini; Ilocano: Ili ti Tumauini; Tagalog: Bayan ng Tumauini), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Isabela, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 70,743 people.[3]

Etymology

[edit]

The name of Tumauini originated from the name of the big trees found in the Poblacion called "Mauini". It is said that when some Spaniards wanted to know the name of the trees, they asked a native saying, "Como se llama el grande lenia? Sabes tu?" The native not knowing what the Spaniards said, picked the last word he heard and answered "Tumauini".

History

[edit]

Tumauini was officially established as a Spanish mission in 1704, with civil administration frequently shifting between the neighboring towns of Cabagan and Ilagan. It became a formal town on 10 May 1751.[5]

In 1952, the barrios of Barucbuc, Siempre Viva, Bimmonton, Pasurgong, Manga, and Settlement No. 1 were transferred to the newly created town of Mallig.[6]

In 1957, the barrios of San Antonio, San Juan, Ragan Sur, Ragan Norte, Ragan Almacen, San Jose (Bulo), San Patricio, Quibal, San Andres (Lattu), Calinawan Sur, Bayabo, Santor, Santo Rosario, Andarayan, Aneg, San Isidro, Mawi, San Roque, Carmencita, Aga, Villa Pareda, Villaluz, San Pedro, Concepcion, Sammabario and San Nicolas and the sitios of Turod, Paco, Calamagui and Kim-malabasa, were separated from the municipality of Tumauini to form the town of Magsaysay.[7] Camp Samal used to be a guerilla camp during World War II, and SAMAL derives from SA means Sadornas, and MAL from Malana.[citation needed]

Tourism

[edit]

The town's historical landmarks include the Tumauini Church. Built-in the 1780s by the Dominicans, the church has an unusual cylindrical bell tower made of bricks. Also in the town is the Camp Samal Resort and Leisure Park, which were known as a semi-Tagaytay because of being high on its location where one can view the entire town in the west, south, and north and the Cordillera Sierra Madre in the east.

San Matias Parish Church

[edit]
San Matias Church Interior

The Parish Church of San Matias was built in the 1780s by the Dominicans. It is the best-preserved church ensemble in Isabela although its Convento is in ruins. It has a cylindrical, confectionery-like bell tower (a later addition). In the Convento vaulted ceiling impressions may still be seen of the mats that were used as forms to mold wet plaster during construction. A low, undulating brick wall circumscribes the front garden.[49]

San Matias Church Exterior

The building of the church from light materials by Francisco Nunez O. P. began in 1707 after Tumauini was separated from Cabagan and became a regular parish in 1751. The Roman Catholic Church was erected by the Dominican in 1753. They were made of bricks and coral stones with a cylindrical bell tower, the only of its kind in the Philippines which was constructed by Fr. Domingo Forto in 1793 and completed in 1805, became the capital of Isabela for some time in the 1880s. The Church was partly damaged during World War II but was repaired to its original form by the parishioners of Tumauini.

The church's architectural design bears traces of Chinese artistry which may confirm the belief that long before the Spaniards came to the Philippines, the Chinese had settled in the coastal towns of Northern Luzon.[50]

By virtue of Presidential Decree # 260, 11 August 1973, as amended by Executive Order No. 357, 14 January 1974, and No. 1505, 11 June 1978, the Church of Tumauini was declared a National Historic Landmark on February 24, 1989.[51]

The Tumauini Church is currently on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Sites under the Baroque Churches of the Philippines (Extension). A proposal has been suggested by scholars to make a separate UNESCO inclusion for the Old Centre of Tumauini which includes the Tumauini Church. The same would be done for other churches listed in UNESCO's tentative sites, where each town plaza and surrounding heritage buildings would be added. No government agency has yet taken action on the proposal.[52]

Camp Samal

[edit]

The historic Camp Samal was the site of the National Jamboree in 1977 and is the home of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. It is located at the eastern outskirts of the Spanish – built town of Tumauini, on a 23.5 hectares (58 acres) of the elevated mass of rolling hills 500 feet above sea level. It is endowed with natural springs, evergreen grasses, trees, and shrubs. It overlooks the Cagayan River, the Pinacanauan River, the town of Tumauini itself, the municipality of Delfin Albano, and the Sierra Mountain ranges.

Its name was derived from the first syllable of the surnames of the spouses, Ricardo C. Sadornas and Purificacion Malana who donated the camp to the Boy Scouts of the Philippines in 1954. After the holding of the 1977 National Jamboree, the camp was restored under the administration of Mayor Arnold S. Bautista in 2001, who drew out the support of the government and private sectors for its restoration and development. It is still the favorite destination of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of the Philippines for their annual district and provincial encampments. It hosted the 5th Northeastern Luzon Regional and Ilocos Region Invitational Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines held on November 25 – 30, 2004 with a total of 5,281 participants.

Mangi Festival

[edit]

The patronal town fiesta is in honor of St. Mathias and the promotion of Tumauini as a source of corn and its by-products.

One of the legacies of the Spanish colonial era in town is corn (maize). It was one of the plants that came aboard the galleons and became one of the primary crops of the Philippines. The late National Artist for Dance, Ramon Obusan traced the origins of a traditional dance inspired by the crop to Tumauini.[53]

Magoli River

[edit]

Antagan 1st contains the Magoli River, which provides an ample source of water for irrigation, fields, and households.

One of the features of the river is the Blue Lagoon. The locals have named two large rocks in the center of the river "Kambal na Bato" (twin stones), which are also a tourist attraction because of their unique and unusual appearance.

The river is also a popular spot for swimming, fishing, and boating.
