The Early Principalia Since San Fernando was carved out of Mexico and Bacolor, it is no surprise that the old families of San Fernando find their roots in either town. According to some sources, the first families of San Fernando included the surnames Arrozal, Catacutan and David. In fact, from 1755 to 1799, these three families produced the most number of gobernadorcillos, with Don Vidal de Arrozal serving as the first town chief executive in 1755. The surname David appears six times in the list of gobernadorcillos, a sign of the importance of the clan in the early stages of the development of San Fernando, while the Arrozal and Catacutan, as well as the Dizon, families have three each. Also appearing early in the list are the Cunanan, Yutuc, de los Angeles, Singian and Singian de Miranda, 54 The Grand Old Families of San Fernando By Ivan Anthony Henares The family of Don Serafin Lazatin and Doña Encarnacion Singian with children Cristino Ester L. Rivera, Corazon, Remedios L. Panlilio, Anita, Consuelo L. Madrigal, Jesus and Carmen. (Lazatin Family) Quirino Abad Santos Salvador Abad Santos Sotero Baluyut Antonio Consunji Concepcion, Lacson, Tuason, Miranda and de Miranda, and Dayrit clans with two each. Many of San Fernando’s first gobernadorcillos had actually served in the same capacity in Bacolor before San Fernando was separated from it. From 1800 to 1897 when the Philippine Revolutionary Government seized control from Spain, the Henson surname was most prolific, appearing 13 times in the list. This was followed by Dizon with nine, Singian and Singian de Miranda with six, and Dayrit and David with five each. Rise to Prominence Many of the current old families saw their influence strengthen during the latter part of the 1800s and the early 1900s. Although many old names remained, new families saw a rise to prominence, many with surnames from other towns of Pampanga as a result of intermarriages. Other old families of San Fernando moved to other towns as well, such as the de Miranda and Henson families as a result of the creation of Angeles. Many Angeles families actually trace their roots to San Fernando such as the Abad Santos, Dayrit, Tayag, and Pamintuan clans. Other Angeles families such as the Lazatins, trace their roots to Mexico similar to their counterparts in San Fernando. Here are a few of the old surnames which are distinctively from or have made an indelible mark in the history of San Fernando:
Abad Santos – Their forebears are Vicente Abad Santos and Toribia Basco; their children are [1] Pedro Abad Santos, assemblyman and socialist founder and leader; [2] Emilia Abad Santos whose husband Major Isabelo del Rosario was executed by the Americans; [3] Ireneo Abad Santos; [4] Escolastica Abad Santos; [5] San Fernando Municipal President Antonio Abad Santos who married Ramona Teopaco; [6] Josefa Abad Santos; [7] Jose Abad Santos, Secretary of Justice, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and World War II martyr, who married Amanda Teopaco; [9] Judge Quirino Abad Santos; and [10] Court of Appeals Justice Salvador Abad Santos. Their grandchildren include Agapito del Rosario, mayor of Angeles and World War II martyr; Vicente Abad Santos, Secretary of Justice; and Court of Appeals Justice Quirino Abad Santos, Jr.. One of their great-grandchildren, Ma. Ana Consuelo “Jamby” Madrigal, is an incumbent member of the Philippine Senate. Baluyut – A Chinese mestizo clan descended from Leoncio Baluyut and Casimira Julao; their claim to fame is civil engineer Sotero J. Baluyut, who was Pampanga governor, Secretary of the Interior and also Public works, and the only Philippine senator born in San Fernando. Consunji – Another Chinese mestizo clan; they are descended from Ignacio Consunji and Feliciana Espino. Two of their children were active in the Philippine Revolution with Don Antonio Consunji serving as presidente municipal of San Fernando during the Philippine Revolution and his brother Fr. Jose Consunji recognized as one of the revolutionary clergy. Don Antonio was among those persecuted as a result of the 1892 visit of Dr. Jose Rizal to San Fernando. As incumbent gobernadorcillo of San Fernando, he was removed from his post together with Mexico Vivencio Cuyugan Amando Dayrit Felisa Dayrit Cecilio Hilario Zoilo Hilario Prominent sugar planter Don Joaquin Dayrit and family (Dayrit Family) gobernadorcillo Ruperto Lacsamana for their involvement in the Rizal visit. The children of Don Antonio with Natalia Soriano are [1] Tomas Consunji who married Florencia Lerma Jose; [2] Rosario Consunji who married Simeon Ocampo; [3] Manuel Consunji who married Valentina del Rosario and later Elena Palacios; [4] Socorro Consunji who married Gregorio Singian Dayrit; and [5] Jose Consunji who married Maria Feliciano. Sister M. Dorothy Consunji, OSB is a daughter of Jose Consunji. Cuyugan – The surname is the abstract form of the noun cuyug (friend). According to an account written by Judge Antonio Cuyugan, Don Agustin Cuyugan was the chieftain of San Felipe when the community was “discovered” by a Spanish friar who usually stopped over in his house on the way to Mexico. When the friar organized the town of San Fernando, he baptized the chieftain Agustin in honor of Saint Augustine, and named his barrio San Felipe in honor of King Philip II of Spain. His two sons were given the names Agustin and Teobaldo. The friar became the first parish priest of San Fernando. When he was called back to Manila, he took Teobaldo with him where he became proficient in theology and canon law. When his protector became Archbishop of Manila, Teobaldo was made the first secular secretary of the archbishopric. This office would be inherited by his son Don Vicente Cuyugan. Teobaldo is the ancestor of the Cuyugans in Ermita and other parts 55
