History[]
In the 1930s, the Bugkalots inhabited Lublub, then a sitio of Barangay Marikit. In 1950, it became an independent barangay of Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija. The people of Lublub headed by Barangay Captain Alfredo L. Castillo, Sr. requested Assemblyman Carlos Padilla to convert the barangay into an independent municipality of Nueva Vizcaya. Hence, Batas Pambansa No. 27, authored and sponsored by Assemblyman Padilla, was approved and signed by President Ferdinand E. Marcos on 20 April 1979.[5] The Bill created the new town of Alfonso Castañeda, named after the first Governor of Nueva Vizcaya who belongs to a cultural minority.
