Vincenzo A. Sagun, officially the Municipality of Vincenzo A. Sagun (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Vincenzo A. Sagun; Subanen: Benwa Vincenzo A. Sagun; Chavacano: Municipalidad de Vincenzo A. Sagun; Tagalog: Bayan ng Vincenzo A. Sagun), is a 5th class municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 24,852 people. [3]
The municipality is named after Zamboanga del Sur Governor and Representative Vincenzo Sagun.
History[]
There are no known historical records that can establish as to when the municipality started to exist as a community. What is known is that the municipality of Vincenzo Sagun as he is known today, was a product of the extraordinary efforts of a man bearing the same name.
The man the town was named after was a former member of the House of Representatives, representing the Province of Zamboanga del Sur, who left "no stones unturned" in seeking the formal creation of this erstwhile barangay of its mother Municipality, Margosatubig. Thru this tireless endeavor, President Diosdado Macapagal signed Presidential Proclamation No. 177, series of 1965, which created the MUNICIPALITY OF VINCENZO SAGUN.
In utmost recognition of the man whose efforts made it all possible for the municipality to exist as a distinct and separate local governing entity, the municipality was so named in his honor.
Folklore tell us that the municipality's first inhabitants were the Subanons. They were to have established their settlements along the riverbanks and in the hinterlands as a very peaceful and highly coordinated tribe ruled by a powerful warrior-leader. Legend has it that this warrior-leader, called Culangan, possessed magical powers and is capable of superhuman strength-like jumping as high as seven feet with a 50-kilogram pig on his shoulders.
These early settlers lived in a scattered, pocket-sized settlements. But to celebrate the "LOMPOK", a local religious rite, they congregate in a certain place they called "PAGBATAN". For quite some time the place was called as such, until it was changed to "KABATAN", meaning "the inhabitants". In fact, when Vincenzo Sagun was still part of Margosatubig, it was known as Barangay Kabatan.
