History of Lawaan Eastern Samar and The Legends About Agtak by Crispin G. Gavan

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Allgemeines / Vergleiche, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The idea of writing this profile was first suggested by Mayor Pio C. Diasanta, now

deceased, and aftenrards seconded by the members of the Municipal Council

(Sangguniang Bayan) to be included as "annex" to the Town Fiesta '85 Program but

which did never materialize by reason of some unavoidable circumstances. To them, I

sincerely acknowledge their inspiration and encouragement.

Many of the details of this profile were made possible through the contributions of

some respectable old folks presently residing in Lawa-an, such as Mr. & Mrs. Rosendo

D. Gavan concerning the plight of the first settlers; Mr. Hilario Tiozon about the family

name of Etifania; Mrs. Martina G. Tigley who disclosed the deception of the bananatrunk

warriors and the subsequent construction of the stone-tower; Mrs. Eufrosina G.

Gadicho her reference to the sequence of Tenientes del Barrio within the Gabornes

clan; lgmedio Gacho relating the participation of Lawa-an in the Balangiga Massacre;

and Mrs. Clotilde G. Bumby filling some additional details in the manuscript. To them, I

likewise extend my gratitude and acknowledgment.
