Introduction
Introduction
On March 17, 1817, Fray Escobar officiated over the town’s first
religious festival. The patron saint from its foundation was St.
Patrick of Ireland.
Don Lorenzo
Bernardo was
Tayug’s teniente
absoluto from May
10, 1817 to 1819.
Under his
administration a
church was
established. On October 31, 1817, another Catholic missionary
order, the Dominican took over, with Father Mathias Pelaez as the
first parish priest.
Later in 1851, Tayug was taken back by Nueva Ecija as its town; not
until 1864 when Tayug finally became part of Pangasinan. In 1870,
after 53 years, the church of Tayug was completed together with its
convent, by forced labor. It is believed that the early settlers of the
town came from the neighboring province of Ilocos and the
Caraballo Mountains. The town was then grassland of cogon and
talahib, around the 18th century. Soon it was converted into an
agricultural community as the settlers were mostly farmers.
In 1927, Tayug was the venue of the first carnival and exposition in
the Province. In 1937, Tayug Town Plaza, then complete with a Zoo
and a Botanical Garden was adjudged as the Most Beautiful Town in
the Province and one of the Best Towns in the country. On January

10, 1931, the “Kolorum Uprising” led by Pedro Calusa broke out.
This was in protest of the abusive tenancy condition where the
landlords enslaved the tenants but with meager share, not even
enough to feed their growing families. The landlords became richer
at the expense of the poor tenants. Calusa and his followers
in control of the town, occupied the town hall and burned all land
records. To abate the situation, the Philippine Constabulary sent in
large contingent that assault the kolorum garrison at the Roman
Catholic Convent. The uprising was not so successful but it opened
the eyes of the authorities and paved the way to a better tenancy
sharing. A local film was produced based on this incident entitled –
“Tayug, Ang Bayang Api.”
