Full transcription of the so-called “Historical Data” for the Municipality of Tuy, Batangas, the original scanned documents at the National Library of the Philippines Digital Collections not having OCR or optical character recognition properties. This transcription has been edited for grammar, spelling and punctuation where possible. The original pagination is provided for citation purposes.

[Note to the reader.]

Batangas History wishes to advise the reader/researcher that may be inevitable errors in the transcription of the documents for the poblacion as well as barrios of the Municipality of Tuy because the original documents were either typed using poor typewriter ribbons or poorly scanned. Many of the pages, therefore, were very difficult to read.

Destruction wrought by World War II have made it imperative to reconstruct all records that had been lost during the emergency. Important among these scripts were the historical data of the different places in the Philippines. General Memorandum No. 34, s. 1952 of the Bureau of Public Schools has been issued to the field to help gather facts necessary for the reconstitution of these last records. It is, then, that this little book about the Municipality of Tuy has been prepared.

This piece of manuscripts attempts in one way or another, to show whatever collection had been gathered. It is to be noted that the poblacion and the different barrios are treated separately. Some of the stories or data may not be very accurate, but they are related by the old folks of the place concerned. Since no written records are available, oral reproduction has been resorted to. This discussion has been based on the outline given in General Memorandum No. 34, s. 1952.

The preparation of this little book was untaken by the undersigned with the cooperation of the teaching force of the Municipality of Tuy and the resource persons indicated after each story. Aside from the old folks who were asked information about the places mentioned, the writer is greatly indebted to Mrs. Ester T. Gambos, who acted as sub-committee chairman for the poblacion and who took the burden or arranging the different compilations made by the sub-committees for the barrios and giving suggestions on the various phases of the notes submitted; to Mrs. Irene R. Tolentino for reading the manuscript for possible mistakes after it had been typewritten; to Mr. Geronimo Macalalad for helpful suggestions and for typing; to Mr. Eufrosino Gambos for typing; to Mr. Pedro Delleopas for the binding of this manuscript; to the Head Teachers who acted as subcommittee chairmen for the different barrios; and to all who read this assemblage of historical data about the Municipality of Tuy critically and constructively. Finally, acknowledgement is made of all in any way has helped in the preparation of this book.
