HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The town of Famy is located at the Northeastern part of the Province of Laguna. In
the East, it is separated from the Municipality of Real, Quezon by mountain ranges in the
North,, it is separated from the Municipality of Sta. Maria, Laguna by mountain ranges which
is a continuation of the Sierra Madre mountain. In the West and South it is separated from
Mabitac and Siniloan respectively by links of hills planted with coconuts. The history of town
as a barrio of Siniloan dates back to the year 1612 when its natural resources were first
exploited by the busy hands of home seekers from Daraitan, Tanay, Rizal. These home seekers
named the place Calumpang, after a big shady Calumpang tree that grows in the heart of the
place.
Year after year, the inhabitants of the placed increased. People from nearby town came to
a place to gamble their luck with the vast area of uncultivated lands.
After years of constant struggle for the development of the place, they succeeded in
making the lands suitable for food crops. They especially made use of the lowlands where
more of the inhabitants settled. Home industries gained interest among women. Spiny bamboos
were planted as raw materials for the basket industries that remained the same industry up to
the present.
In the year 1835, when the people realized the constant changes of the place, from the
bedlam of wilderness to a barrio worthy of becoming a town, they for the first time, sought
from the town of Siniloan to become a municipality with its own government. Their plan was
rejected because of the meager population of the barrio. The people did not lose their hope,
again the prominent men of the barrio tried to secure the separation. Promoted by the feeling of
patriotism, men from the barrio voluntarily presented themselves as revolutionist claiming that
they will fight on the side of General Emilio Aguinaldo, if the General will help making the
barrio a town. So after the revolution, the President of the Republic of the Philippines,
Calumpang was separated from the Municipality of Siniloan. The barrio which was renamed
FAMY in the place of the ancestral name Calumpang. This was in memory of General Emilio
Aguinaldos mother, Mrs. Trinidad Aguinaldo y Famy.

DATE OF HISTORICAL RECOGNITION

When the American took possession of the island, the form of government
automatically changed. With the Executive Order, small town became barrios of nearby towns.
Famy was affected by this order, and again became a barrio of Siniloan. In spite of these
changes the people continued the development of the barrio. They tried their best to increase
the area of uncultivated lands. The inhabitants of this municipality were not satisfied of being a
barrio again of Siniloan, so they filed a request to the Governor General that Famy be a town
again, citing among other things that, no salary for services rendered and that municipal hall
and school buildings shall be constructed, all on help of the towns people. By virtue of this

request, the Governor General issued Executive Order No. 60 series of 1910, separating
Famy from the Municipality of Siniloan, Laguna. This order took effect on August 15, 1910.

MOTHER MUNICIPALITY
The mother municipality of this town is Siniloan. The history of this town as a
barrio dates back in the year1612. Famy, was separated from Siniloan in 1898 during short
lived of Philippines Republic under President Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy. But when American
took possession of the island, Famy became independent from Siniloan on August 1910.

SOIL TYPES
Bay Clay

Bgy. Batuhan
Bgy. Balitoc

The land is usually utilized for paddy rice production. It is highly suitable
for the cultivation of rice, fruit crops and diversified crops. This type of
soil is generally poorly drained due to low based position and poorly
permeability due to clay loam texture. The surface texture is clay loam
with clayey texture of minor extent and suitable for urban uses.
Maligaya Clay Loam

Poblacion Area
Bgy. Batuhan
Parts of Bgy. Salangbato,
Tunhac,Balitoc

is the principal crop planted as well as other crops such as corn, banana
and various vegetables.
Antipolo Clay

Bgy. Maate
Bgy. Kataypuanan
Bgy. Mayatba

These are forest and open grassland. Other crops raised are coconut,
lanzones, corn pineapple, and root crops.
Antipolo soil undifferentiated

Bgy. Kapatalan

These are found in the mountainous areas. The area is covered with forest
growth which makes the delineation of soil boundaries very difficult

because of the exceeding steep slopes and rough topography. The land
has no agricultural potential.
Hydrosol Lands

Bgy. Balitoc

It is under fresh marsh series and as such, is best suited for inland fishing,
if properly developed. This would, however entail costs to pursue its
development.
