Agoncillo, officially the Municipality of Agoncillo (Tagalog: Bayan ng Agoncillo), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Batangas, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 39,101 people.[4]

Etymology

[edit]

The town got its name after Felipe Agoncillo, a native of Taal, Batangas.

History

[edit]

Agoncillo was originally a part of Lemery. In 1945, an executive committee was formed by the first appointed Mayor Jacinto Mendoza Sr. to prepare a resolution, requesting the Secretary of the Interior, Malacañang Palace, through the provincial board to detach and separate 11 barrios and be created a municipality.

Through Executive Order 140 issued by President Elpidio Quirino, the Municipality of Pansipit was created.[6] But the Municipal Council of Lemery passed a resolution requesting for the revocation and suspension of the said creation. Thus, another executive order was endorsed for the conduct of a plebiscite to ascertain the true sentiments of the residents regarding the issue of separation.[7]

Finally, on April 17, 1949, Executive Order No. 212 was issued by President Quirino, lifting the suspension and thereby, authorizing the immediate organization of the Municipality under the name of Agoncillo,[8] in honor of Don Felipe Agoncillo, a native of Taal and one of the first Filipino representatives to the Spanish Cortes.
