AKLAN VILLAGE ELEMNETARY SCHOOL HISTORY

As far back as the 1950’s what is now called Brgy Aklan Village was a vast and
thickly forested mountainous area. It used to be a mere sitio of Brgy Dumanisi, and was
called Dumanting. Sometime in 1959 the first wave of early settlers, who were Ilocanos,
began to populate this forest.
But soon more and more Visayan settlers arrived, mostly from Kalibo, Aklan and
from Jamindan, Capiz; and thus the people of the growing community felt the need to
constitute the place into a barangay. Since the Aklanons dominated over the other ethnic
groups, they decided to call the place Aklan Village.
Because the settlement was already popularly considered as a barangay, although
without any official sanctions yet, the village Chieftain, Cirilo Verano, was appointed into
the position as Barangay Captain on November 15, 1977. Verano rallied the residents
towards the ratification of the settlement as a full-fledged barangay. However, his
leadership was to be cut short because he died in an ambush within the month.
To avoid a leadership gap, Gualberto Tolentino was appointed November 28, as
Barangay Captain to replace the slain leader. He pushed for the ratification campaign
started by Verano; and the constituents voted for the same exactly one year after, on
November 29, 1978.
Eventually, Brgy Aklan Village was officially founded on October 20, 1980 under the
administration of Municipal Mayor Mariano G. Pimentel.
Tolentino’s leadership continued as he was subsequently elected to the position of
Barangay Captain during the local elections of 1982

AKLAN VILLAGE ELEMNETARY SCHOOL HISTORY

Taong 1950’s, ang barangay Aklan Village ay isang malawak at makapal na


kagubatan. Ito ay nagging Sitio ng Barangay Dumanisi na kung saan tinawag na Dumanting.
Noong 1959 ang unang nanirahan ay mga Ilocanos, at sila ang nagsimulang maglinang sa
nasabing kagubatan.
Nang kalaunan dumating at dumami ang mga Visayan na nanirahan ditto na galing
sa Kalibo Aklan at Jamindan, Capiz. At nang dumami ang ang mga tao, kinailangan nilang
magtatag ng isang barangay. Samantala, ang mga aklanon ay mas marami kaysa sa ibang
pangkat etniko, kaya napagkasunduan nilang tawagin ang lugar na Aklan Village.
Dahil sa pagsasa-ayos ng mga naninirahan dito at ibinilang nilang isang barangay. Si
Village Chieftain Cirilo Verano ay hinirang bilang Punong Barangay noong November 15,
1977. Si Verano ay umapila sa mga kapwa residente upang pagtibayin na maging isang
ganap na barangay. Subalit ang kanyang pamumuno, ay hindi nagtagal dahil siya ay nasawi.
Upang maiwasan ang sigalot sa pamumuno, si Gualberto Tolentino ay hinirang muli
bilang Punong Barangay kapalit ng yumaong dating namumuno noong November 28, 1977.
Ipinagpatuloy ni Gualberto Tolentino ang nasimulan ni Verano na pagtibayin at gawing
ganap na barangay ang Aklan Village. At noong Nobyembre 29, 1978 makalipas ang isang
taon ang mga residente ay sumang-ayon kay Tolentino.
At sa huli ang Barangay Aklan Village ay opisyal ng naitatag bilang isang Barangay
noong Oktubre 20,1980 sa pamumuno ni Mariano G. Pimentel, ang Punong lungsod ng
Diffun.
Ang pamumuno ni Tolentino ay nagpatuloy pagkatapos siyang ihalal ng mga tao sa
posisyon bilang punong barangay noong halalang local ng 1982.
