Tourism Information On
Enrique B Magalona Saravia


 
The town was named Saravia after the first Spanish military governor of Negros, Don Emilio Saravia (1856-1858). The original inhabitants of the place were Negritoes who were gradually driven to the mountains by settlers who came to make their permanent homes in choice lands in the present poblacion.

The first group of settlers in the town came from Albuquerque, Bohol. They were led by Florentino Rubiato who became the first “Cabeza de Barangay” of the place then called “Tukgawan”, located between the rivers of Madalag Pequena and Madalag Grande.

The exact date of the creation of Saravia into a municipality is rather controversial. A Spanish chronicler mentioned in his “Apuntos de la Isla de Negros” that Saravia was created into a town in 1858. However, another Spanish chronicler in his “Resena Historica de Negros” recorded Saravia’s conversion into a municipality in 1880. It is however safe to assume that Saravia became a municipality in 1889, when Recollect priest Fr. Pedro Lago took over the administration of Saravia.

The first Capitan Municipal of the town was Santiago Reyes. He was succeeded by Carlos Magalona, who with his brother Vicente, father of ex-senator Enrique Magalona with whom the town was named after, alternated over the position for the next 15 years.

House Bill 511 authorized by the late Congressman Armando Gustilo changed the name of Saravia into E.B. Magalona on August 19, 1967.
