History of Lawaan Eastern Samar and The Legends About Agtak by Crispin G. Gavan (ePub)

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Allgemeines / Vergleiche, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The idea of writing this profile was first suggested by Mayor Pio C. Diasanta, now
deceased, and aftenrards seconded by the members of the Municipal Council
(Sangguniang Bayan) to be included as "annex" to the Town Fiesta '85 Program but
which did never materialize by reason of some unavoidable circumstances. To them, I
sincerely acknowledge their inspiration and encouragement.
Many of the details of this profile were made possible through the contributions of
some respectable old folks presently residing in Lawa-an, such as Mr. & Mrs. Rosendo
D. Gavan concerning the plight of the first settlers; Mr. Hilario Tiozon about the family
name of Etifania; Mrs. Martina G. Tigley who disclosed the deception of the bananatrunk
warriors and the subsequent construction of the stone-tower; Mrs. Eufrosina G.
Gadicho her reference to the sequence of Tenientes del Barrio within the Gabornes
clan; lgmedio Gacho relating the participation of Lawa-an in the Balangiga Massacre;
and Mrs. Clotilde G. Bumby filling some additional details in the manuscript. To them, I
likewise extend my gratitude and acknowledgment.
