Talisay City, Cebu
Historical Notes
Talisay was formerly an estate of the Augustinians in 1648. The town had no church of its own and they had to go to San Nicolas for baptisms, weddings and burial rites. It became separated from San Nicolas by virtue of Royal Decree of August 16, 1856.
Two versions are given on why Talisay is so-named. One is that it is named after Magtalisay, a kind of tree which used to be in abundance in the area. Another is that it was named after a town in Spain.
During the Spanish Revolution, three sons of Talisay were generals in the revolutionary forces. Two brothers today also became generals: AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Lisandro Abadia and PAF Commanding Officer Loven Abadia. The first general of this era is from Talisay , Ge. Isagani V. Ocampo.
March 26, 1945 is a day to remember not only by the residents of Talisay, but also by the entire Cebuanos. It was on this day when American Division, US Army landed in Talisay to begin the liberation of Cebu from the invaders - exactly 2 years, eleven months and sixteen days after the Japanse landed on precisely the same spot on April 10, 1942.
In 2000, the municipality of Talisay was converted into a city. The municipality is now linked to Cebu City via the new South Coastal Highway from Lawaan, opened in 2004. This has brought some recent inward investment in the form of sub-divisions, some hastily planned and plagued by problems. Conflict has occurred between the residents of the mountain barangay of Maghaway and those of Crown Asia's Azienda Milan and Venezia sub-divisions. According to the National Statistics Office in its 2000 report, some 70 percent of the population of Talisay belongs to the urban poor. Talisay remains an important center for the production of blasting caps used in dynamite.
