Tubigon: A History of the Place and its People | Oscar M. Labastilla

Description

This book offers a richly documented account of Tubigon, Bohol’s evolution from a modest riverside settlement once known as Tubigan into one of Bohol’s most enterprising municipalities. Drawing from archival records, oral traditions, and personal recollections, it traces two centuries of local history from the 1881 diversion of the Bateria River and early uprisings against colonial rule to the challenges and rebuilding that followed World War II, Martial Law, and the EDSA Revolution. It also chronicles the town’s most recent transformations: the rise of new schools, churches, and industries; the impact of the 2013 earthquake and the COVID-19 pandemic; and the enduring role of civic leadership and community cooperation in shaping Tubigon’s identity. Spanning both memory and modernity, this second edition portrays Tubigon as a living testament to the resilience, creativity, and faith of the Bol-anon people.
