M e s s a g e
My dear people of Barangay Fatima:

Unity, Cooperation and Participation are our great weapon that can direct
our plans so to achieve our hopes, dreams and vision for progressive Fatima.
I’m, alone cannot realize all of these without the qualified and joined efforts
of our concerned groups of this Barangay to work hand in hand the end will be
proud if success will be attained.
Let us not just defend through the Government. Let us utilize our own
resource properly so that economically we will improve our lives. I am also
appealing to each and every one to carry on our government trust and programs.
Let us put our hands together, shoulder to shoulder for a better community.
Do not ask what the government can do for you, but ask what you can do for
the government, ask what you can help for the continuous fads and fashions but
rather ask what you can help for the alleviation of the poverty.
It is the beginning of another struggle that, at time gets even more
challenging when coupled disappointments. But this should not be a barrier
because the knowledge and skills we acquired will enable us to conquer all
problems.
It is now the right time to do our part and share for a better progressive
Barangay Fatima.
Let us not count our personal interest but rather positively, let us extend
what we can to the fullest and foremost regardless of political affiliation, religious
beliefs and business interest.
May constant prayers will be for the success that we rightly deserve.
Thank you and more power to all of us!

 HISTORY OF THE BARANGAY

Barangay Fatima, is originally called “Sitio Imugawan” and it is the Sitio of the
adjacent Barrio called Diclum. During that time every Sitio was led by its own auxiliary
Barrio Lieutenant. Years past by, the said Sitio came to be Diclum B, under the
leadership of Mr. Aquilino Jaudines.
It has two Sitio’s, Sitio Camansi and Sitio Isabela.
Barangay Fatima is located on the southern part of Tobias Fornier and its last
Barangay along coastal area. Bounded on the East by Barangay Igbangcal B and
Barangay Igbangcal C, on the west by (Sulu Sea) Cuyo East on the North by Barangay
Diclum, its land area is about 335.7496 hectares.
At that time, the residents of the Barrio do not have a place for worship so Father
Omen, the Parish Priest of the town and his Sacristan named Alvin Huelar encouraged
the residents to build a chapel. The chapel was made of Solidap and bamboo, for there
was no Patron saint Mr. Pablo Erispe, the school principal of Diclum Elementary
School initiated to buy and through the kidness of Father Omen, they ordered it from
Santa Barbara, Iloilo.
According to the elders year 1952, the arrival of the Patron Saint “Our Lady of
Fatima” can be considered as a miracle because it was so unbelievable and ironic that
the sky was so clear, no signs of bad weather, but suddenly a heavy rain fall when they
were at “Puntod of Barangay Igdalaguit” to fetch the saint. Upon reaching the chapel of
Barrio Diclum B, the heavy rains cease pouring.
By then, ideas come into their minds (elders) to honor the Patron Saint; they have
to change the name of the place. Subsequently, residents and the Barrio council opted to
change the name of the Barrio. Through their collective opinion, expressed by voting,
the name has been altered from Diclum B, to Barrio Fatima. Forthwith, they made a
resolution and the Municipal council of the town approbate it and it was materialized.
The name Barrio Fatima lasted for several years not until, during the
administration of the former President Ferdinand Marcos, the Barrio changed to
Barangay. So, it is being called Barangay Fatima.
The Barrio Leutenants/Captains according to the order of succession; Santiago
Tarroja also known as “Lolo Inggo” or “Agoy” under WWII (1941-1942), Prudencio
Febreo 1943-1952, Aquilino Jaudines 1952-1957, Barrio Leutenant Dominador
Pagrad 1957-1959, Bartolo Serapion 1959-1961, Rodiego Asgar 1961-1962,
Captain Bartolo Pelingon 1962-1985, in his time, the barangay was divided into
Puroks (Groups) with respective leaders such as in Dawis-Eliseo Tarroja, Centro-
Dominador Pagrad, Ilawod-Rodiego Asgar, Sagwa-Teresa gabin, Durog-Igtumakad
by Cornelia Menchate.
When the administration of President Corazon Aquino the appointed local Mayor
Morit Tajanlangit appointed then Lorenzo Perando as the OIC of the barangay, year
1986 during snap election, at year 1987 barangay election, Honorable Lorenzo
Perando was elected as a Barangay Captain until 1995; Julito Abiday 1996-1997
was elected as Punong Barangay. Justina J. Pelingon, 1997 was appointed; Punong

Diya”, the noteworthy event happened, that made people in the barangay unite
memories of our late Governor Evelio V. Javier remains in the heart of our elders,
since the letter became the special guest on that celebration.

our elders every 25th of May and every 29th of May “Petsa kang mga Soltero”, to end
the month of May and to welcome the month of June, that is from May 31 to June 2 is

May 31 presentation of the participants, June 1 “Kan-anay sa Plaza” at night
contest proper and on the 2nd day of June the most exciting part of the celebration “The
Beach Party”, this is celebrated in the beach, that made the events peculiar than the
other activities of the barangay. Activities such as, parlor games, baroto race, tug-of-war
are being participated by the residents. Last day is also the day to give awarding and
recognition. But since 2005, the feast was called “Saruhay Festival” as through the
initiative of Mr. Omber S. Villaluz, the program coordinator of the barangay proposed
and shared to the public (constituents) to make the events more memorable and
meaningful. “Saruhay” derived from the word “Saruhanay” which a dialect term
means sharing. It brings out the generous attitude of the residents to partake their
blessings with each other. Until now, it is being remembered and celebrated.
