San Remigio, officially called the Municipality of San Remigio (Cebuano : Lungsod sa San Remigio; Tagalog : Bayan ng San Remigio), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 65,744 people. [3]
San Remigio is bordered to the north by Medellin, to the west is Tañon Strait then Bantayan Island, to the east is the City of Bogo and the town of Tabogon, and to the south is Tabuelan. It is 108 kilometres (67 mi) from Cebu City.
San Remigio celebrates its annual fiesta on 15 and 16 May in honor of their patron saints, St. Isidore the Farmer and St. John Nepomucene. The parish, which was founded in 1864, celebrated its 150th anniversary in May 2014.
San Remigio was formerly known as "Kanghagas", a kind of tree that grew in abundance in the area. When the Spanish conquistadores arrived, they identified a town site by clearing the kanghagas trees. At the time, Kanghagas was part of barangay Punta.
Initially, the chapel of ease (visita) of Kanghagas was within the jurisdiction of Bantayan. In 1850, the town of Bogo established a parish and took over civil governance of the three barrios of Kanghagas, Lambusan, and Victoria (formerly Maarat). Later, barangay Kanghagas was renamed Isabel after the queen of Spain, but was eventually changed in 1863 to its new and permanent name, San Remigio. The name San Remigio can be found in Florence, Italy called Church of San Remigio, a church building that was built in the 1100s and later rebuilt in the 1300s. [5] In 1864, San Remigio and other barrios established their own parish, San Juan Nepomuceno Parish. [6]
San Remigio is politically subdivided into 27 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

Archaeological excavation in 2012 by archaeologist Jojo Bersales and his team. With permission from the archdiocese of Cebu and other authorities, his team conducted an excavation and unearthed a burial site that is believed to date back in the 1500s. Alongside human skeletons were carinated pots. These pots with flat designs and rounded base were a sign of the iron era. They were mainly intended for burial rituals and not for cooking as evidenced by their fragile design and quality. Each burial site with human remains had a carinated pot next to it. Back in the day, people believed that spirits travel through the ocean to their final resting place. These pots were filled with food for use on their travel. The archaeologists also noted that bodies were buried with their feet pointing to the ocean, affirming that ancient people believed that the final resting place was on the other side of the ocean.
