Tayug, officially the Municipality of Tayug (Pangasinan: Baley na Tayug; Ilocano: Ili ti Tayug; Tagalog: Bayan ng Tayug), is a municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 45,476 people.[6]

It is an agricultural municipality producing commercial crops, livestock, and poultry.

Etymology

[edit]

The town of Tayug got its unique name not from people who were influential or from name of saints, but from a very tall tree that once grew in the heart of the town which is believed to be a bakaiau or bacáyao tree (Madhuca betis (Blanco)), an indigenous fruit tree in the Philippines. It was so tall that the people at that time call it "layog[7]" which means "high, towering like the palm trees" in Kapampangan and “very tall; high; towering” in Ilocano.

According to historical accounts, Tayug was formerly a constituent of a sprawling settlement along the upper reaches of the Pampanga River, which is now encompassed within the boundaries of the present-day province of Nueva Ecija. This proximity suggests that the linguistic heritage of the local populace might have been shaped by interactions with Kapampangans.

Over time, due to the locals' difficulty in pronouncing the letter "L," it became commonly replaced with the letter "T" in everyday speech. This linguistic shift eventually resulted in the adoption of the name Tayug.

History

[edit]

Tayug is an old settlement founded by the Augustinians who were administering what was then called Upper Pampanga, which later became the province of Nueva Ecija. The exact date of its foundation is not clearly known, but it must have been at the start of 18th century, because according to a book of baptism of the town of Asingan, an Augustinian priest was already mission work at that time in Tayug and San Nicolas. A chronicle of the convents and towns founded by Augustinian Order, Biblioteca Historíca Filipina, Volume 4,[8] mentions 1759 as the year of its foundation, while a document dated in Retiro, 19 December 1742, and signed by King Philip V of Spain, mentions Tayug as one of the places that were founded by the Augustinian missionaries.[9]

Tayug was first officially organized as a municipality in the province of Nueva Ecija on February 4, 1817. In 1837, Tayug was ceded to the province of Pangasinan. In 1851, it was once again incorporated with the province of Nueva Ecija. The town was finally ceded to Pangasinan for the last time in 1864 after decades of uncertainty.

On October 8, 1903, Tayug absorbed the municipality of Santa Maria and ceded barrio San Andres to Asingan, by virtue of Act No. 931.[10] However, Santa Maria was later separated as a re-established municipality on October 31, 1906.[11]

On January 12, 1931, an undercover collective of peasants known as the Philippine National Association, under the leadership of Pedro Calosa, launched an assault against the governing authorities. Their objectives were to assert independence from American governance, denounce societal injustices and economic disparities, and affirm the authority of the Aglipayan Church. Taking control of significant sites including the municipal hall and the Philippine Constabulary's command station, they also set fire to the residences of prominent figures and various structures. The uprising commenced before dawn and was swiftly suppressed by evening, marking a brief yet impactful challenge to colonial authority. A monument paying tribute to Pedro Calosa is situated at the intersection of Pangasinan-Nueva Vizcaya Road and Tayug-San Quintin Road, symbolizing the historical significance of the revolt.

Amid World War II, the town spearheaded a guerrilla assault against the Japanese Imperial Army, marking one of the earliest instances of resistance in the nation. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Severino Antiporda, they successfully expelled the invaders from the fortress and reclaimed the municipal hall on April 14, 1942. However, when the Japanese forces reappeared on May 3, 1942, their defense endured for more than a week before they ultimately surrendered. Subsequently, they, along with individuals suspected of supporting their cause, were executed.

The shifts in colonial governance during the Spanish colonial period, the uprisings under American occupation, and the resistance movements during the Japanese occupation reflect the dynamic history of Tayug. Through these tumultuous times, Tayug would have navigated the changing landscape, adapting to new circumstances and contributing to its distinct historical and cultural identity within the province of Pangasinan.
