Events which were brought about by the recent war have made it necessary to reconstruct data and record new information relative to this municipality. In compliance with Memorandum No. 34, s. 1952, we take pleasure in presenting this little book.

The materials included herein have been carefully gathered by all teachers of this municipality who worked hand-in-hand to make the writing of this book possible. We have tried to place emphasis on substance over form and content over literary wordiness. The subject matter covered and the information given therein are sufficiently extensive, fully adequate to impart to the readers a comprehensive knowledge of Nasugbu. This book will feed the children and adults with information not to be found elsewhere.

Thanks are due to the government agencies that have cooperated with us by supplying information and checking data. Acknowledgments are equally due to the public spirited citizens who have patiently and helpfully answered to the request for information.

Acknowledgments are also due to the following teachers:

I reiterate, we take pride in presenting this book – a product of an ambitious attempt of the teachers of this locality – a book wherein the traditions and culture of the people of Nasugbu are recorded for posterity.
