My hometown is Pavia, Iloilo.

Pavia is a second-class municipality in the

Philippine province of Iloilo. Its official name is
the Municipality of Pavia ([pavia], Hiligaynon:
Banwa sang Pavia, Tagalog: Bayan ng Pavia).
There are 70,388 people living there,
according to the 2020 census.

With only 2,715 hectares, Pavia is Iloilo's

smallest municipality by area (6,710 acres). It
is situated 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) north of
Iloilo City and serves as the Regional Agro-
Industrial Center for Western Visayas.
Comparable to an Italian church in Pavia, the Catholic church that is being repair is similar.

The Metro Iloilo-Guimaras region, centered on Iloilo City, includes Pavia.

According to excavations at a Chinese burial cemetery in Cabugao Sur, Pavia was first
inhabited by primitive Malays in the 15th and 16th centuries, and thereafter by Chinese. 200 to
400 people lived in the village, depending on the source.

Pavia was officially founded in 1848, during the Spanish Colonial Era, by thirteen landowners in
what had previously been a "camping area," "settlement place," or a "abandoned location,"
when it split off from the town of Jaro.

In 1901, Pavia joined Santa Barbara, and in 1904, it joined Iloilo City. Pavia, Leganes, Iloilo, and
Jaro all broke away from Iloilo City in 1907 to form the suburb of Jaro. From 1916 until his
election as Jaro's Presidente Municipal in 1920, Petronilo Gumban presided over Pavia. Delfin
Gumban helped Pavia to become an independent municipality in 1921.
