History[]

Pio V. Corpus was formerly known as Limbuhan. In 1951, the barrios of Limbuhan, Guindawahan, Palho, Casabangan, Salvacion, Alegria, Tanque, Bunducan, Bugtong, and Cabangrayan were separated from the town of Cataingan and created into the town of Limbuhan.[5] The town got its current name in 1954, and was named after the former Congressman and Governor, Pio Vicente Corpus (1883–1944). Born on July 11, 1883, in Nueva Ecija, he migrated to Masbate and he would later serve in the war time Japanese sponsored Government and was unfortunately assassinated by the Japanese Intelligence due to mistrust on February 7, 1944, in Manila. Its first mayor was Daniel Señoron.[6]
