History of Bacolod, Lanao del Norte, Philippines
- article below copied verbatim from: bacolodlanaodelnortegov.blogspot.com
Bacolod comes from a Maranao word that means “Rock”. This maybe because, Bacolod is a rocky place, but the Bacolodians believe that the “Rock” is the symbol of the Christian Messiah, that helps them achieve their slogan of “Padayon Pagsidlak Bacolod”.
The municipal government was organized on July 23, 1956, by virtue of R.A. 1415, signed and approved sometime in May 10, 1956, by the late President Ramon Magsaysay. The creation of the Municipality of Bacolod was sponsored by then Congressman Domocao Alonto, when Lanao Province was not yet divided into two (2) with Kolambugan as its mother municipality. It started to operate sometime in July 23, 1956 with the late Nolan J. Antonio as the first Mayor.
It is endowed with rich natural resources. The Pagayawan Waterfalls is known for its vast potentials to generate electricity that can cater not only the Province of Lanao del Norte, but also with its three (3) neighboring provinces. It has three (3) attributary falls that is suitable as tourist attraction not only in the municipality, but also in the whole province of Lanao del Norte. The pristine and scenic beauty of these waterfalls is awe inspiring to behold. Many foreign investors have already come and manifested their desire to harness it.
The municipality is proud of its historical past. Unknown to the people outside, this town was not spared by the insatiable appetite for conquest by the Spanish conquestadores. They have constructed a fort, (Fort Al Monte, in honor of Admiral Pedro Al Monte, a Spanish soldier who conceived the building of forts to strategic locations in the archipelago), in barrio Liangan, now, Liangan East, through forced labor rendered by captured Filipinos. It served as their stronghold against their enemies, however, the relentless onslaught waged by the natives, with the aid of the American soldiers, finally, repulsed the foreign invaders. During the Japanese occupation, the Nipongo soldiers utilized the fort as their citadels against Filipino guerillas but was then recaptured.

It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

We have so much water in the Philippines and yet very little to drink.
Instead of relying too much on Diesel fuel and Coal to generate the majority of Philippine's Electrical energy Supply, we can concentrate more on renewable and sustainable source of energy such as: Hydro Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power. We have too many black outs.
