Danao

IJsselstein, Saturday, 14 January 2012

Danao is the birthplace of the famous Boholano leader, Francisco Dagohoy. It was the place where he established his independent government. During the Japanese occupation it became a concentration camp for World War II prisoners of war. The town used to be a barrio of Talibon but was turned into a municipality by an Executive Order issued on March 16, 1961 by then Pres. Carlos P. Garcia. It was inaugurated as an independent municipality in July 9, 1961.
