Infanta, Q

�� Since its establishment, the area has been attacked by Moro pirates, and visited by typhoons and cholera epidemics as recent as 2004.

In 1578, more than half a century after Ferdinand Magellan and his men landed in Cebu, a Spanish priest named Esteban Ortiz arrived in Binangonan del Ampon and planted a wooden cross symbolizing the introduction of Spanish colonial rule at the place. In 1696, Don Diego Mangilaya, a native chieftain developed the settlement into a community and built a wooden chapel at the spot where Nunong Karugto

ng fell asleep. In 1803, Captain Pedro de León affiliated Binagonan del Ampon to the province of Nueva Ecija and in 1850, Kapitan Rafael Orozco withdrew Infanta from the province of Nueva Ecija and joined it with the province of Laguna to the west. In 1835, Binangonan del Ampon was renamed "Infanta" by Captain Juan Salvador in honor of the saint "Jesus Infante" (Child Jesus). All the inhabitants of Infanta were given Spanish surnames pursuant to a Royal Decree of 11 November 1848. On July 20, 1898 a group of Infanta Katipuneros headed by Colonel Pablo Astilla attacked the Spanish forces holed up at the limestone convent and after several days of siege and fighting, the Spanish soldiers surrendered. By virtue of the 10 December 1898 Paris Treaty of Peace, American soldiers occupied the town of Infanta and appointed Kapitan Carlos Ruidera Azcarraga as the first "town presidente." He was followed by Rufino Ortiz in 1903 who withdrew Infanta from the province of Laguna and joined it with the province of Tayabas. He also ordered the planting of coconut trees in the barrios (now barangays) of Infanta. During the administration of town "presidente" Gregorio Rutaquio (1911–1916), he constructed the "Gabaldon type" of school house. From 1923-1928, Don Florencio Potes became town "presidente". He constructed the concrete municipal building and the first telegraph office of the town. From 1935 to 1939, Mr. Fabian Solleza served as town "presidente". During his incumbency, the Infanta--Famy road traversing the Sierra Madre from Infanta to Laguna and Rizal provinces was constructed. Also, piped water from a spring reservoir in barrio (barangay) Gumian was installed. In December, 1941 the Japanese Imperial forces was occupied in the town of Infanta. On May 25, 1945, the liberation by combined Filipino and American soldiers entered in the town was supported by the guerrilla fighters fought the Japanese Imperial forces until the end of World War II. In 1950, the municipality was made the seat of the Roman Catholic Territorial Prelature of Infanta.

MAG-INGAT SA INIT NG PANAHON!

44°C ang naitalang Heat Index ngayong ika-12 ng tanghali ng ating Infanta Sypnotic Station DOST-PAGASA sa Bayan ng Infanta.

Ang Heat Index ay ang aktwal na init na nararamdaman ng ating katawan kapag pinagsama ang temperatura at halumigmig ng hangin.

Nasa Danger Level ang damang init na ito kung kaya't maaaring maranasan ang heat cramps at heat exhaustion. Ang patuloy na pagkababad sa init ay maaaring mauwi sa heat stroke.

Paalala sa lahat:
-Uminom ng maraming tubig kahit hindi nauuhaw.
-Magsuot ng presko at magaan na damit.
-Iwasan ang matagal na pagbibilad sa araw lalo na mula 10AM–4PM.
-Gumamit ng payong, sumbrero o anumang panangga sa init.
-Iwasan ang sobrang pagod at mabibigat na aktibidad sa ilalim ng araw.
-Bantayan ang mga bata, senior citizens at buntis dahil mas madaling maapektuhan ng init.
-Kumain ng masusustansya at preskong pagkain.
-Manatili sa malamig at maaliwalas na lugar hangga’t maaari.
