Guinayangan, officially the Municipality of Guinayangan (Tagalog: Bayan ng Guinayangan), is a municipality in the province of Quezon, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 45,375 people.[5]

The municipality is home to the Maulawin Spring Protected Landscape and the critically endangered Inagta Lopez, a dialect of the critically endangered Inagta Alabat language, which has at most 30 speakers left in the world.

Etymology

[edit]

The name of Guinayangan comes from the word "gayang", a poison extracted from a plant by the locals. It was used by the natives to infuse it in their spears and arrows which they used to repel the Moro invasions. The gayang became an important thing among the natives who lived peacefully as the Moros were repelled in every attack they made.

The natives who were infusing gayang to the arrows were spotted by the Spanish missionaries who wished to spread religious faith in the area. The missionaries ask for the "name of the place" in Spanish dialect. Due to the language barrier, the natives misinterpreted the question for "What are you doing" and answered "Ginayangan" or "We applied gayang". Ever since the place was known and pronounced "Ginyangan" omitting the "a" sound.

History

[edit]

Guinayangan was a former part of the town of Gumaca together with its neighbor town Lopez, Quezon from the oldest record it was first mentioned during colonial era.

Guinayangan gained its territory with the transfer of the barrio Aloneros from Tagkawayan by virtue of Executive Order No. 78, signed by President Manuel Roxas on August 12, 1947. The annexation became effective on January 1, 1948.[6]

Guinayangan was not spared the social and economic turmoil during the Dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, including his 1971 suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, his 1972 declaration of martial law, and his continued hold on power from the lifting of martial law in 1981 until his ouster under the People Power Revolution of 1986. One major event that took place during this period was the Guinayangan massacre of February 1, 1981, in which Military elements opened fire on a group of coconut farmers who were marching towards the Guinayangan plaza to protest the coco levy fund scam. Two people were killed and 27 were wounded.[7][8]

Also prevalent during the time were political assassinations such as the murder of Barangay Captain Eliseo Dapog on July 6, 1985, after he had signed a petition for the Batasang Pambansa (the Philippine legislature at the time) to investigate human rights violations in the area.[9] Dapog would later be honored by having his name inscribed on the Wall of Remembrance at the Philippines' Bantayog ng mga Bayani, which honors the martyrs and heroes who resisted authoritarian rule during this time.[9]

Marcos was finally deposed by the civilian-led People Power Revolution in February 1986, and a revolutionary government was temporarily put in place until the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines could be ratified.[10] During this time, Guinayangan was led by an OIC mayor. The previous officeholder was reelected after the establishment of the Fifth Philippine Republic, serving a term that ended in 1988.[11]
