PANGASINAN
Around the 16th century and under the
leadership of King Kasikis, Pangasinan at the time
was known as the Luyag na
Caboloan Kingdom. Pantaleon Perez, or more
famously known as Juan dela Cruz Palaris, led the
Palaris Revolt against the oppressive Spaniards
years later. This revolt opened the eyes of the
Pangasinenses and they endeavored to put a stop
on the cruelties and injustices administered by the
Spaniards.
On March 7, 1898, the towns of Agno, Alaminos, Anda, Bani,
Bolinao, Bugallon, Burgos, Dasol, Infanta, Labrador,
Lingayen, San Isidro, and Sual joined the revolution at
Laragan, Alos (which is now a barangay in Alaminos City)
under the leadership of Ramon Manalang. It was a battle that
took place near Alos, where the headquarters of the
revolutionists was located and was said to be one of the
bloodiest battles in Pangasinan to ever be recorded. On July
23, 1898, the Spanish force finally surrendered to the
Pangasinenses at Dagupan, ultimately granting freedom to
the whole province.
