 OVERVIEW Very little is known about Siquijor and its inhabitants
before the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century. During
its occupation, however, caves in the island yielded old China
wares which could mean Chinese traders had arrived earlier.
It is thought that the island was once thickly covered with
molave or “tugas”, thus the island was called Katugasan by
early folks. The lush vegetation in the hilly lands attracted
great swarms of fireflies, thus trees were all lit up with the
luminous creatures. Perplexed by the trees aglow with
fireflies, the Spaniards called the place Isla del Fuego or
Island of Fire. The inhabitants on the other hand, believed that the island rose from the sea amid
fire, thunder and lightning, thus the name Isla del Fuego.
Esteban Rodriguez of the Legazpi Expedition in 1565 led the first Spaniards to officially
“discover” the island. He was captain of a small party that left Legazpi’s camp in Bohol to explore
the nearby islands which are now called Pamilacan, Siquijor and Negros.
Founded in 1783 under the administration of secular clergymen, Siquijor became the first
municipality as well as the first parish to be established on the island. Siquijor was from the
begining, administered by the diocese of Cebu. As for civil administration, Siquijor was under
Bohol since this province had its own governor. The first Agustinian Recollect priest, Father Vicente Garcia arrived
in Siquijor in 1794. Several years thereafter, priests of the same order founded the parishes of Larena (initially called
Can-oan), Lazi (formerly Tigbawan), San Juan (Makalipay) and Maria (Cang-meniao). With the exception of Enrique
Villanueva, all of the present six municipalities had been established as parishes by 1877. From 1854 to 1892, Siquijor
became part of the province of Negros Oriental, and became a sub-province in 1901.
In 1971, Siquijor became an independent province by virtue of Republic Act No. 6398. The capital was
officially transferred from Larena to Siquijor in 1972 through a plebiscite held on November 8, 1971 and confirmed
through Proclamation No. 1075.

Located in the Central Visayas region, Siquijor is a small island midway between
Visayas and Mindanao islands. It is situated some 30 kilometers from Negros and
about 565 aerial kilometers from Manila. It is bounded in the north by the islands of
Cebu; Bohol is to the northwest, to the west is Negros Island, to the east is Camiguin,
to the south is mainland Mindanao. Facing its northern shores is Bohol Strait, south-
east shores is the Mindanao Sea.
It has a total land area of 34,350 hectares or 343.50 square kilometers, which represents 2% of the total land
area of Central Visayas and 0.11% of the land area of the country.

TOPOGRAPHY

Siquijor island is mostly made up of limestone rock material and fringed by mangroves, white sandy beaches and
coral reefs. It has approximately 102 kilometers of shoreline. With the exception of relatively flat coastal plains in Lazi
and San Juan, most of the island’s interior is either hilly or mountainous. The center of the island is elevated, the
highest point of which is Mt. Bandilaan, rising at approximately 557 meters above sea level.

 GEOGRAPHICAL HIGHLIGHTS

Most of the island’s soils are Bolinao, Lugo, Faraon, or Mandaue series clays which have developed from coralline
limestone. Limestone outcrops are frequently observed at the surface all over the island. Areas at higher elevations and
slopes of about 25% are eroded down to the subsoil and even to the bedrock in many places. Only 2.54% of these soils
are Guimbaon clay, which is volcanic in origin, and 2.5% are hydro soils and beach sand.

75.48 km. are classified as national roads comprising 20% of the total network, 189.78 km. or 51% are provincial
roads, 21.932 km. or 6% are municipal roads, and 81.263 km. or 22% are barangay roads.

Major means of transportation in the province are jeepneys, tricycles and motorcycles. Jeepneys travel on specified
routes usually between municipalities. Tricycles are available for hire to desired destinations. While commuters to
and from the interior barangays are served by motorcycles for hire known as “habal-habal”. As of December 2002,
Land Transportation Office registered a total of 4,741 motor vehicles. Of those, 4,129 are privately owned vehicles,
103 are government owned vehicles and 509 are for hire.

Communication Facilities

Long distance telephone services are provided by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) in Maria,
Globelines, Inc., Telephone Management System , Inc. (TMSI) and the Bureau of Telecommunications (BUTEL) in
Lazi, the remaining connections are under the Municipal Telephone System Project.

There are a considerable number of cellular phone phone users in the province but are experiencing inadequate
access to signal due to lack of cell sites within the province. There are only two cell sites in the whole province, one
for Globe which is located in Nonoc, Larena, Siquijor and one for Smart located in Poblacion, Siquijor, Siquijor.

There are eight radio telegraphic stations and eight postal offices servicing the province.

There is one diesel-generated power supply on the island owned and operated by the National Power Corporation
(NPC). The electric power is purchased by the Province of Siquijor Electric Cooperative, Inc. (PROSIELCO) and
distributed to 112 barangays or 84% of the total number of barangays in the province.

Three 500-kilowatt, one 448 kilowatt and one 1,224-kilowatt generators were installed at the NPC plant. PROSIELCO
has the potential to connect 15,382 households, current household connections make up only 48.60 percent or 7,475
households of the potential. Nevertheless, power supply is not so reliable due to old and inefficient generators.

Power consumption registered an average of 50 kwh per month for residential households, 96 kwh for small commercial
establishments, 174 kwh for industrial, 508 kwh for water system, 107 kwh for public buildings and 78 kwh for

are especially abundant. As a first class wood, it is used for making furniture by some micro-manufacturers.
Reforestation is a high priority of the island and the DENR has put together a five-year Medium Term Forestry
Development Plan which stresses community reforestation projects. Maria has over 500 hectares of reforested land in
Barangays Bogo, Olang and Lilo-an, near the famous Salagdoong Beach. The Mount Bandilaan and Manan-ao
