    BACON: The

    Oldest Pueblo Civil


    of Sorsogon
    Prepared by :
    OLIVE MAY D. LEBRIA
    How The
    Town Got In 1609, Rev. Fr. Felix Huertas,
    the missionary administrator of
    It's Name? Casiguran, zealous in his duties
    towards his “flock”, visited the
    valley on the northern part of this
    territory wherein he found, on
    and near the shores an abundant
    growth of native plants called
    “Bacong”*. It was this
    missionary father who gave the
    name Bacong to this place after
    the name of these plants. To make
    the pronunciation easy and
    smooth, the g at the end was
    discarded by the Spaniards who
    came later. The name has been
    Bacong belongs to the lily
    family. The fiber is white
    with spots of blue at the
    pistil. The petals are long
    and bend downwards. One
    can hardly notice its
    fragrance, which is mild
    and sweet unless he is
    close to the flower itself.
    The leaves are poniard-
    like, almost as long and as
    big as the leaves of any

    Bacon Became A Separate
    Missionary Parish
    In the year 1617, the Visita de
    Bacon ceased to be a part of her
    mother town, Casiguran. A separate
    missionary parish or pueblo was
    established here under the Roman
    Catholic Church, with Rev. Fr.
    Antonio de San Francisco, its
    founder, as the first minister of the
    church.
    With the natives to supply both
    labor and materials, the first place
    of worship was constructed under
    the direction of the missionary
    father. The church was dedicated to
    the Ntra. Sra. De La Anunciacion,
    Bacon Became a Pueblo
    Civil
    In 1754, by virtue of a decree
    issued by the Spanish
    government through the
    governor of the province of
    Albay, Manuel Valenzuela, the
    Mision de Bacon was declared
    Pueblo Civil de Bacon under the
    province of Albay, with Juan
    Elias (later Dia) as its first
    gobernadorcillo.This gave Bacon
    its legal existence as a newly-
    born daughter of Albay, which
    was conceived by its founding as
    a missionary Parish on the
    • Bacon's patroness was Our
    Lady of the Annunciation, until
    Fray Gregorio Sta. Ana
    replaced it with Sta. Rita de
    Casia. In1853, however, Fray
    Remigio de Vera returned the
    Our Lady of the Annunciation,
    as patroness of the parish, up
    to the present time.
    • Bacon is the oldest
    municipality (pueblo civil) of
    the province . It was founded
    in 1754.
    It is also the nearest town to the capital
    town of Sorsogon, with a distance of only
    nine kilometers. The road connecting it is
    the oldest in the province. The
    Municipality of Bacon (now Bacon
    District, City of Sorsogon), as established
    by the Spanish government then, included
    under it's jurisdiction the barriors of Sta.
    Florentina , Batan and Cagraray Islands
    When Sorsogon became an independent
    province from Albay, Bacon lost to Albay, Rapu-
    Rapu, Batan and Cagraray Islands. Also, the
    barriors of Suwa and Cabit were lost to the
    Municipality of Manito, also in Albay. Rapu-
    Rapu became a municipality of Albay in 1901,
    while Prieto-Diaz was separated from Bacon
    1904, to become an independent municipality.
    With the separation of Sorsogon from Albay,
    the boundaries separating them were moved
    from Balabagon to Suwa

    “Orgullo” – Spanish word means self-satisfaction

    TOLONG GAPO
    Tolong -Gapo Beach is well known from
    the three protruding rocks that is seen
    during the low tide. Tolong Gapo means
    three rocks in Bicol and that's how the
    beach got its name as the thee big rocks
    appear dominantly during the low tide.
    children would climb on the rocks and
    make it as their improvised diving board.
    The beach is a long stretch of not so white
    sand but just the color of real sand. It is
    truly enjoyed during summer by the locals
    here as it is very near Sorsogon. One can
    take their own car, ride a jeep or a tricycle
    can be accessed to reach the area. There
    are a lot of resorts that one can go to
    according to their choice . This place is in
    the District of Bacon a former
    municipality but now because of it's
    merger to the municipality of Sorsogon,
    it's now part of the City of Sorsogon.
    Mt.Pulog and Lake Pulog
    Mt. Pulog in Bacon Sorsogon is
    Bicol's best hiking secret. This
    mountain is part of a mountain group
    known as the Pocdol Mountain range
    or Bacon - Manito Mountain range!
    The main attraction at the summit
    (babaw) is Pulog lake (danum); since
    both are called Pulog, it is useful to
    refer to them with the bracketed terms.
    It is almost perfectly round, and a
    traverse going to the lake is very
    possible – and manageable within a
    dayhike, especially if the weather is
    good.
    LIBANON/LEBANON BEACH
    Lebanon Beach located in San Juan
    Bacon District Sorsogon City
    Philippines this beach called Hidden
    Beach of the Mindanao. The beach
    mirror the view of granite mountains
    those are Palawan.

    The trek to Lebanon Beach is not the


    easiest. For those with wobbly knees,
    the descent is something short of
    torture. After all, one has to pick one’s
    way through boulders and a steep
    incline. But the beach is well worth the
    hassle of going there. The powder-fine
    sand is a treat for sore feet, and the
    crystal water is just perfect. On windy
    days, the beach lends itself well to
    surfing.
