History
[edit]Pudtol,taken fromLuna,was created as a municipal district on December 3, 1956 through executive order no. 217.[5][6][7]
Prior to its creation, Pudtol was once the center of the Spanish mission in the entire province of Apayao and served as the center of Catholicism in the province.
Pudtol consisted of the last remaining territories of the municipal district of Tauit (the first sub-provincial capital of Apayao), which was abolished on January 21, 1936 throughEO No. 13and annexed as a singlebarrioto Luna.[5][6][8][9]Tauit also comprised the present-day municipalities of Luna,Santa Marcela,Flora,and some parts ofLasam,Allacapan,andPamplona, Cagayan.[10]
BarangaysAga, Cacalaggan, Malibang and Mataguisi are comprised by then-Barrio Tawit, Tauit's seat of government.[5][9]
On March 31, 1959, Pudtol was converted into a municipality by virtue of executive order no. 335.[6][11]It became the first regular municipality in the entire Sub-Province of Apayao.
On June 22, 1963, via Republic Act No. 3672, severalbarriosandsitioswere separated from Pudtol and constituted into the newly created municipality ofFlora.[12]
Tauit
[edit]Tauit(later spelled asTawit), is anIsnegsettlement along the lower Apayao-Abulug River. It was a former municipal district and served as Apayao's first sub-provincial capital from July 13, 1907 until the capital was moved toKabugaoon August 01, 1915 by virtue ofExecutive OrderNo. 45signed by Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison.[13][14][15]It had been existed by the time of creation of the sub-province of Apayao.[16]
Tauit is said to be the forerunner of the present-dayPudtol.[17][18]Its seat of government at Barrio Tawit was later divided into four barangays in the municipality.[16][9]
In 1913, a band of Isneg attacked Tauit, as they were infuriated by the large number ofIlocanosettling in the territory under the protection of the local government.[13]
In 1926,Allacapanwas founded as its municipal district. In July 01, 1927, the area was separated from Tauit and was organized into an independent one with the same name by virtue ofEO No. 68.[14]It was ceded to the province ofCagayanin 1928.[19]
In 1929, a separate municipal district taken from Tauit,Macatel(later renamedLunathrough a resolution), was organized throughEO No. 200.[16][9][20]
Difficulties in transportation led to the decision to abandon Tauit as a municipal district and to be represented by Luna.[9]
Tauit was abolished throughEO No. 13,issued on January 21, 1936 and effective February 1, with remaining territories annexed as a singlebarrioto Luna.[21][9]These territories were established as the municipal district of Pudtol upon its creation on December 3, 1956 throughEO No. 217.[16][22]
Parts of the territories of Pudtol and Luna were later established as the municipalities ofFloraandSanta Marcela;meanwhile, Tauit also comprised some parts ofLasamandPamplona, Cagayan.At present, remnants of Tauit are located in northeastern Apayao and in few parts of Cagayan.[16][17][9]
