Claritas est etiam processus dynamicus, qui sequitur mutationem consuetudium lectorum. Mirum est notare quam littera gothica, quam nunc putamus parum claram, anteposuerit litterarum formas humanitatis per seacula quarta decima et quinta decima. Eodem modo typi, qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari, fiant sollemnes in futurum.
History of Santa Ignacia
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Before the settlers from the Ilocos province, led by a man whose family was "Madriaga" set feed on the soil of Sta. Ignacia, the locality was a mere prairie. Together with his companions they settled in a place named "Binaga" which now called Nabagbagan-Nambalan. The place was so called "Binaca" in view of the fact that thousands of cattle were herded in that locality.
As time went on, more immigrants from Cabugao, Sarrat, Tagudin, Bacarra, Badoc, Candon and Paoay, all towns in the Ilocos regions arrived with all their personal belongings placed in their covered carts.
According to Treasurer Jose Pedroche, a local historian, those early pioneers employed the kaingin systems in clearing the lands, which was densely covered with cogon and talahib. Cattle raising and little agriculture were the early industries of the place. Later, the land area cultivated gradually increased simultaneously with the increased population.
