The Irraya Revolt, also known as the Gaddang Revolt (Tagalog : Pag-aalsa ng mga Gaddang) was an uprising by the Gaddang people of Northern Isabela that transpired on 6 November 1621. It was led by Felipe Cuntapay and Gabriel Dayag.
On November 6, 1621, the residents of Abbuatan erected on a Friday a cross in the churchyard with much uproar and rejoicings by the natives. After two days, the Gaddang people in Abbuatan led by the convent bred, 23 year-old Felipe Cuntapay (Felix Cuntabay in othermanuscripts and the acknowledged “governor of Abbuatan”) and his brother Gabriel Dayag, rose in arms because they were oppressed by vicious Spanish officials. The Irraya villages which rallied to their cause were: Abbuatan, Batavag, Bolo and Pilitan. Fray Alonso Hernandez tried to convince the insurgents but failed. Instead, the rebels requested the good priest to leave the place. After the departure of the missionaries, the Irrayas began their uprising killing the encomenderos and Spanish officials and burned their houses. After the bloody killing and looting, the rebels went up the Basili (Balisi in other manuscripts) River and built a fortification on a hill. Bernardo Lumaban and his wife Agustina Pamma saved a mutilated image of the Blessed Virgin in a muddy place after the bloody rebellion and looting. For their actions, the insurrects seized and detained them in prison. [1] : 3
