San Mariano, officially the Municipality of San Mariano; Ilocano : Ili ti San Mariano; Tagalog : Bayan ng San Mariano), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Isabela, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 60,124 people. [3]
It is also a suburb of Ilagan, the provincial capital.
San Mariano has a total land area of 146,950 hectares (363,100 acres). [5] It constitutes 13.78 percent of the total land area of the province, and is the province's largest and the country's third largest municipality.
The municipality lies in the eastern part of the province of Isabela. It is bounded on the north by the Ilagan, on the east by Palanan, on the south by San Guillermo and on the west by Benito Soliven. It is approximately 404 kilometres (251 mi) from Metro Manila and 46 kilometres (29 mi) from Ilagan, the provincial capital.
The area covered by San Mariano was part of a wide region that stretched from the edge of Ilagan to the Sierra Madre mountains called Catalangan, derived from the word talang (pine), possibly due to that tree's abundance in the Sierra Madre. It was officially established by the Spaniards as a mission in 1755. [6]
San Mariano was once a barrio of Ilagan, the capital of Isabela. According to legend, it was first named as Angela in reference to her husband Mariano Kalingog whose family was one of the foremost settlers of the place. Angela drowned while she was washing clothes along the Pinacanauan River, bringing grief to her husband who also died some years later. Since then, the village was known as San Mariano.
In 1920, by virtue of Executive Order 25, San Mariano became a Municipal District and with the passage of Philippines Legislature Act No. 3416 dated December 7, 1927, it was made a distinct and regular municipality.
During those years, there was an influx of migrants coming from the provinces of Ilocos, Cagayan and Pangasinan. These new settlers formed communities in tracks of agricultural lands on which they grew corn and other crops such as rice, root crops, different kinds of vegetables and bananas.
When the German naturalist Carl Semper hiked the Sierra Madre mountains in May 1860, he observed early inhabitants who are known today as the Kalingas. He described the said group as a typical Filipino “cultural minority” who grew their own food, practiced their own religious rites, smithed their own tools, decorated their own artifacts with distinctive designs and traded forest products for metal and salt.
On the Pacific side of the mountains, Semper saw the “Negritos” and concluded that they were new arrivals because he observed no “Kalinga-Negrito” mestizos among them. They inhabited the forest close to the “Kalinga” settlements and showed up with games in seasonal periods to barter for agricultural products. Years later, some sociologists noted that there were inter-marriages entered into between these tribes.
These natives, however, were out-numbered by the mestizos or the “Ibanag-Kalinga,” the Ibanags and Ilocanos with a ratio of about four to one. These settlers tilled permanent farms at the present-day Barangays of Disulap and Minanga.
There was also an influx of several groups from the Bicol and Tagalog regions during the logging concession boom. The continuing acculturation of these groups brought about social changes in the locality. The once verdant forest slowly became barren and denuded with the ceaseless illegal logging and kaingin system employed by the local people and new migrants. When the national government decided to impose a total log ban, the ethnic groups decided to settle in the remote areas of the municipality to farm their lands. The Bicolanos and Tagalogs moved out.
San Mariano is politically subdivided into 36 barangays. [5] Each barangay consists of puroks while some have sitios.
