SAN FABIAN, PANGASINAN

HISTORY

The town used to be called Angio, and had been a mission territory of friars of the Dominican Order during the Spanish era. It is named after Saint Fabian, who was a pontiff and saint of the Roman Catholic Church.

Around 1818, San Fabian had a boundary dispute with Mangaldan. The boundary between the two towns was the Angalacan river, which sometimes overflows because of floods. The boundary dispute was settled in 1900, when the mayor of San Fabian agreed to meet the mayor of Mangaldan and the two reached an agreement with a boundary marker being erected at Longos between the towns of San Fabian and Mangaldan. The agreement was signed by Juan Ulanday, Nicolas Rosa, Vicente Padilla, Marcelo Erfe, and approved by the American Commander Capt. Ferguson.

AMERICAN COLONIZATION

PH-US WAR

During the Philippine–American War, hundreds of Pangasinense soldiers and soldiers of the Philippine government died in San Fabian battling the Americans. After the pacification of Pangasinan by the United States, the first town President of San Fabian was Ińigo Dispo. In 1903, the town of Alava became a part of San Fabian and became a mere village or barrio.

WORLD WAR II

During World War II, the liberation of US Naval and Marine forces in Pangasinan started when troops under Gen. Walter Krueger landed on Lingayen and San Fabian beaches. San Fabian landing zones were called White and Blue beaches, names which continue until the present time.

CULTURE

San Fabian is part of the province of Pangasian and that is part of Ilocos Region in Luzon Islands. Majority of the people talks in Pangasinan and Tagalog. Pangasinan is the name of our dialect, and we are called Pangasinense. However, some people also know Ilocano.

When visiting Pangasinan, avoid referring us "Pangalatok" as it is offensive because the word came from the words "Pangasinan" and "katok" which means crazy.

CELEBRATIONS

The cultural practices our community celebrate are the Town Fiesta and Pista’y Dayat (Sea Fiesta). Each household prepare food in celebrating our Town Fiesta to honor our patron saint, St. Fabian. Pistay Dayat Festival is celebrated every May 1 in our town. Pistay Dayat means “Sea Festival,” as it is a thanksgiving festival for the year’s abundant harvest from the sea. It is celebrated through a series of fun activities such as musical competitions, trade fairs and tourism expositions, beauty pageants, and sports fests.

PTA BEACH RESORT

Located in Bolasi, this white beach resort was originally built by President Ferdinand Marcos in 1973, but today, it has been operated by the Philippines Tourism Authority or PTA. This place also has a historical significance, with is indicated by a plaque and memorial, which stated, “This sacred and historical site where both the US liberation Task Force 78 (1945) and General Masaharu Homma and the Japanese Imperial Army forces (1941) came ashore.” Unfortunately, this plaque was stolen, and all that remains is the concrete.

SAN FABIAN MUNICIPAL HALL

This town hall was built before the American liberation and was liberated by the US Army on the 9th of January 1945. The building was used by the Counter Intelligence Corp (CIC), and the civilian administration re-established it after liberation. But in 2003, a new town hall building was constructed, emptying the old one. It was put under renovation though to be used once more in the future.
