Santa Fe, officially the Municipality of Santa Fe (Gaddang : Ili na Santa Fe; Ilocano : Ili ti Santa Fe; Tagalog : Bayan ng Santa Fe), is a 3rd class, landlocked municipality in the province of Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 18,276 people. [3]
It is the only town in Nueva Vizcaya that borders Pangasinan and is a typical bus stop for commuters going to the provinces of Isabela and Cagayan. This town is the end point of the Dalton Pass, a zig zag road from San Jose and Carranglan, Nueva Ecija.
Santa Fe is 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Bayombong and 215 kilometres (134 mi) from Manila.
Its original inhabitants were the Kalanguya, a cultural minority belonging to the Igorot tribe then later on followed by the Pangasinenses and the Tagalogs. [5]
Santa Fe was formerly an Igorot settlement during the Spanish era called Imugan. It was one of the settlements discovered during the mission of Ituy, which later became part of the jurisdiction of the Commandancia of Kayapa. It became part of Aritao before it finally stood independently as a town. [6] [5]
The Municipal district of Imugan was founded by Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison in 1917 by virtue of Executive Order No. 39. The first appointed municipal president was a certain Kalanguya chief named Licodan who served until 1910. [6]
During the Second World War, the Japanese Imperial Army established a puppet government in the country. Two strategic locations, Dalton Pass in Tactac and Salacsac Pass in Malico, witnessed significant combat between the retreating Japanese Army and the pursuing Allied Forces. General James Dalton of the United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) lost his life in the battle of Balete Pass on May 16, 1945, which is now known as "Dalton Pass" in his memory. Similarly, a shrine was built in Salacsac Pass to honor the unknown soldiers who displayed heroism during the war. [6] [7]
On 9 November 1950, Executive Order No. 368, [8] signed by President Elpidio Quirino, abolished the municipal district structure in government and attached Imugan to Aritao and Kayapa. The place gradually developed to become a progressive municipal district. Republic Act. No. 2179 [9] was enacted on May 6, 1959, recreating the Municipal district of Imugan and changing its name to Santa Fe in honor of the Patron Saint San Jose-Santa Fe. By virtue of Executive Order No., 77 dated July 18, 1967 [10] it was converted from a municipal district to a regular municipality by President Ferdinand E. Marcos. [6] [5]
In December 2000, around 50 NPA rebels raided the town's police station located at the municipal town hall. They ransacked and occupied the town hall for nearly two hours and leaving six policemen dead. [11] [12]
Santa Fe is politically subdivided into 16 [lower-alpha 1] barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
Santa Fe currently has a boundary dispute with San Nicolas, Pangasinan, in which Santa Fe claims the territory of barangay Malico. [13] The Nueva Vizcaya provincial board passed a resolution on September 21, 2022, urging San Nicolas officials to respect a memorandum of agreement between the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), Pangasinan, and Nueva Vizcaya about twenty years ago. [14] On the same day, the Nueva Vizcaya provincial board held a special session in Barangay Malico and issued a resolution requesting San Nicolas officials to refrain from building infrastructure projects within the barangay's boundaries. Said resolution also instructed San Nicolas officials to "respect the boundary" of Santa Fe as well as "the rights of the Kalanguya tribe and their ancestral domain rights." [15] Santa Fe, based on its official website, is capitalizing on RA 8686 as its legal basis in recognizing Malico as one of its barangays. Apparently, this act is for the provisioning of a radio station that is based in Bukidnon, thus, making its claim as imaginary. Both municipalities in both provinces claim to have a barangay named Malico. [16]
