History of Sikatuna, Bohol

[pioneer]

Sikatuna is an interior town located 6.5 kms. from Corella and 16.6 kms. from Tagbilaran City. It was named after the famous Bohol Chief who made a blood compact with Legazpi in 1565.

Sikatuna was established as a town by Executive Order No. 88 issued by Gov. Gen. Francis Burton Harrison on December 5, 1917. It used to be called Comago, then a barrio of Alburquerque. During World War II, it was made an evacuation center by the people of its neighboring towns. When the Japanese learned of this, they put up a garrison in the municipal building. The guerillas did not attack the garrison in order not to expose the civilians to the danger of reprisal.(the provincial government)

There's a better version of this history written by the oldest teacher in Sikatuna who happens to be my father.  His historical account is complete with the fine details of the parliamentary struggles of our early political leaders in Sikatuna (formerly "CORNAGO" not Comago) just to detach our barrio from Alburquerque and become what it is now.  I will post it as soon as i can rewrite it from my father's memory.

The history of Sikatuna should be a very good information to have for us to share the younger generations of "Sikatunanhons".

Mr. Olintaha,

Pray, can you write down the history of Sikatuna from your father and share it with us here in Tubag Bohol?

My thanks and regards,
