FOREWORD
This
book, COLLECTION AND COMPILATION OF HISTORICAL DATA REGARDING THE TOWN OF
MERIDA (LEYTE) AND HER BARRIOS, is a humble product of the endeavors of the
teachers of the Municipality of Merida (Leyte) in performing their share of the
efforts at helping rehabilitate the lost and destroyed manuscripts containing
the data relating to the history and culture of our barrios and towns in the
National Library incident in the battle for liberation of the City of Manila
during the World War Ii. The work has come out in compliance with the Executive
Order No. 486 by the President of the Philippines issued as enclosure to
General Memorandum No. 4, s. 1952.
As
its title indicates, the data have been compiled, and compiled after
painstaking efforts in gathering the facts obtained and possibly available
through personal and actual interviews with wise old men and women of each
barrio and sitio, who have wide knowledge of the life history and culture of
their respective communities and through access of documents and records available
in the Municipal government, in the church and in some other outside sources.
No
claim is laid here that the work, as far as data gathering is concerned, is
exhaustive. It is far from that. However, incompleteness has been here only
because of the limited amount of data and information available and obtainable.
Acknowledgement
of gratitude is made here to the Municipal mayor of Merida, Atty. Serafin C.
Meneses; to the Municipal officials and Councilors; to the barrio tenientes and
to the private citizens living in the sitios, barrios and the poblacion; the
parish priest, Rev. Fr. Pedro Murfy, and to all others who have, in one way or
another, helped in realizing this work. And, of course thanks are too extended
here to the hard-working classroom, head and principal teachers who, in their
characteristic unselfish devotion to duty, willingly and gladly have worked,
even overtime, to make this humble piece of work possible.

Siapon
21. Date of establishment.

22. Names and social status of the founders.
As related by
some old folks, the beginning of this town was situated in a place now known as
Bitaug. This place was only a barrio named Siapon which is the present name of
the river near the town. The barrio Lieutenant of Siapon at the time of its
founding was Jorimo until he was succeeded by many others. As time went by the
population of that barrio increased and the town was established to its present
site of Merida. The establishment of the town of Merida in the year 1857 was
promulgated by the District Governor of the Province of Leyte named Honorable
Domingo Fernandez Ember. Together with the establishment of this town, the
towns of Almeria, Albuera, Villaba and Tolosa were also founded which were
named after the towns in Spain.
German Justo, a
brave and intellectual person, was the first head of Merida during its
establishment. It happened during his administration of Merida that in the
mountains of Biasong (now the barrio of Pto. Bello) there were savage tribes
who made trouble. Ayug was murdered by Siya. When German Justo learned of this
incident, he immediately sent Justice of the Peace, Mr. Andres Parilla, who was
accompanied by Mr. Luis Nuevo, the Chief of Police. The instruction of German
Justo was to bring the murderer or the murdered person to the town if they were
still alive. It was found out that Siya, the murderer was still alive. It was
found out that Siya, the murderer was still alive. Then they bound and wrapped
him in a cradle. In the midst of their way to the town, Siya died. They buried
Siya because they were still far from the town. Since it was the duty of the
government to find out the life of a person no matter how criminal a person is,
it was ordered that the buried criminal will be dug out from his grave under
the supervision of Mayor Carlos Villaragut. Although the findings were not
divulge, the head and some followers were punished. This happening ended the
administration of German Justo.
He was
succeeded by Blas Bohol, the father of Baldo. Due to the inefficiency of the
administration during that time, there was only little improvement. As time
passed by Blas Bohol was replaced by Leonardo Macion, the grandfather of
Cipriano Macion and Bartolome. He was again succeeded by Teodoro Cabiling,
known as Kapitan Doro, whose administration was full of troubles and disorders,
because many of those who held government position were interned due to the
many changes made.

(a) Spanish Occupation
In the year
1871, was wanted by the Spanish Government for being delinquent in paying his
cedula, a residence tax. Fearing the authorities he went into hiding and turned
into a bandit, living only by means of stealing the crops and the property of
the poor farmers.
Capitan German
Justo was informed of the bandit, sent right Guardilleros (police) patrolled
the mountains but was not able to catch the bandit. On the other hand the
farmers requested the Capitan to allow them to catch the bandit dead or alive,
which he (Capitan Justo) readily consented.
A few days later
the Capitan was already informed that he thief was fatally wounded in
Cancabuhay. Policemen were sent to investigate. Due to the strength of the
wounded bandit, the policemen could not bring the man to the town. So they dug
a hole and using a forked branch of a tree, penned the man in the hole and was
buried alive.
A year after
the incident, Capitan Teodoro Cabiling, who replaced Capitan Justo, ordered the
investigation of the later for burying the bandit alive. He was found guilty
and together with the Andres Parilla and Blas Bohol, whom also had a hand in
the incident, were sentenced to prison.

1891. One of the purposes of his visit was to inspect the school. He was warmly
received by the town officials and the people. Streets were decorated and flags
were hung in the houses.
3. Indijinas Rose
Against Spain
From 1897-1899,
a group of volunteers banded themselves together and rose against the tyranny
of Spain. They were called Indijinas. Most of the time these group of brave
patriots ambushed the Casadores (Spanish Soldiers), who patrolled the outskirts
of the town. For three years they fought bravely.
4. Spanish Ship Bomabarded
Sometime in the
late afternoon of 1898, the Spanish ship Aninita anchored at the port of
Merida, was shelled by an American ship. That was the first time that the
inhabitants witnessed a naval bombardment.

(As
told by Librado Quinto and Ursula Vda. De Boholst)
1. American
Soldiers in Merida
One early
dawn of 1901, a platoon of American soldiers landed on the beach of Merida.
Many of the inhabitants were scared including Capitan Guillermo Bande. Those
who were left in the town found the Americans to be friendly. They were later
informed that the soldiers were looking for the Capitan, but he could not be
found for he was one of those who fled to the mountains.
In the
afternoon the Americans left. They took with them Hernogenes Ayud, Candido
Paring, a gambler and many others. A week later they were heard to be working
in the installation of the telegraph lines in Ormoc. Of all those taken by the
Americans only Candido Paring met an accident. According to his companions he
was shot for trying to escape.

doctors that time that the disease lasted for a year.
3. Pulahans
In 1905 to
1906, a group of bandits called Pulahans, molested the peace of Merida. They
were under the leadership of Faustino Cabiling. They tortured, killed and

the soldiers a long time to subdue Cabiling and his followers.
4. Campaign
for Women Suffrage
In March 1937, the women of
Merida under the leadership of Mrs. Maxima Mendola and Mrs. Eustaquia M.
Solana, campaigned from barrio to barrio and from house to house in favor of
the women suffrage. For a month they campaigned and convinced the people the
importance of the suffrage. Many young women and men rallied behind them. In
the plebecite of april 10 and 17, 1937,
the people of Merida voted unanimously in favor of the woman suffrage.

and After World War II:
1.
Merida Shelled
In the early
morning of June 24, 1942, many people came down town, especially those who
evacuated, to celebrate the St. John’s Day. Many roasted pigs, chickens, and
other things to eat were prepared for the picnic in the seashore. At 9:00
o’clock before most of the people could take a bath in the sea, a gun boat and
a speed boat of the Japanese came. Before the Japanese could shell and machine
gun the people taking a bath, they (the inhabitants) hurriedly scampered to the
hills living behind them the roasted pigs, chickens, etc. For an hour and a
half the town was bombarded and machine gunned. Luckily only the sea wall and a
few coconut trees were damaged.
