San Miguel de Arkanghel Parish Church built during Spanish Regime
The municipality of San Miguel de Mayumo was established in 1763 with Carlos Agustin Maniquiz,
Maria Juana Puno - wife of Carlos Agustin Maniquiz and Miguel Pineda as the first town mayor of
San Miguel. Miguel Pineda was a native of Angat, Bulacan who decided to settle permanently in the
barrio of San Bartolome (now named Barangay Tartaro). He found the place ideal for hunting and
was later chosen as the leader of other settlers. He formed an alliance with Mariano Puno, the
recognized leader of the adjacent prosperous village called Sto. Rosario (now named Barangay
Mandile). The two leaders decided to form a town named Miguel De Mayumo after the name of
Miguel Pineda and Mayumo, a Kapampangan word for sweets, for the goodwill and generosity of
Mariano Puno. The town was supposed to be part of Pampanga. San Miguels culture drifted
from Kapampangan influence. San Miguel used to be the biggest town in Bulacan but when San
Ildefonso, Bulacan was proclaimed a town during the 1900s and during the Marcos Regime, he
made Doa Remedios Trinidad a town (named after his wife's mother), San Miguel was right as the
2nd.
The Pact of Biak-Na-Bato[edit]

Main article: Pact of Biak-na-Bato
During the Philippine Revolution in 1897, newly appointed Governor-General Fernando Primo de
Rivera decided to crush Emilio Aguinaldo and his troops in Cavite, but Aguinaldo fled
to Batangas and joined forces with Gen. Miguel Malvar. The Spaniards continue their pursuit but the
troops outwitted them by going to the province of Morong (now Rizal) and finally to Biak-na-Bato in
San Miguel de Mayumo (San Miguel), Bulacan. Aguinaldo made the mountain caves into his
headquarters.
On August 26, 2007, residents at the foot of the Biak-na-Bato mountains petitioned president Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo to declare the mountains protected areas to stop marble quarrying
and mining there. Biak-na-Bato (21.17 km in the villages of Kalawakan and Talbak in Doa
Remedios Trinidad town and the villages of Biak-na-Bato and Sibul) was one of the camps of the
revolutionary Katipunan forces in the 19th century, was declared a national park by Manuel L.
Quezon on Nov. 16, 1937 through Proclamation No. 223.[5]
Japanese occupation[edit]
Founded during World War II, Japanese Imperial ground troops entered and occupied the town
municipality of San Miguel on 1942. Local Filipino troops of the Philippine Commonwealth
Army and Philippine Constabulary units retreated into the nearby mountains to become the
Bulakeo guerrilla resistance against the Japanese occupation forces until the province's liberation.
Geography[edit]
The town of San Miguel is bounded by Nueva Ecija Province in the northernmost
area, Pampanga Province in the west, the town is bounded by two provinces with land borders. The
town of San Ildefonso, Bulacan lies next to San Miguel in the southernmost area, Doa Remedios
Trinidad in the eastmost area which also borders San Rafael and Angat. San Miguel then was the
biggest municipality in the province of Bulacan before some areas were taken and annexed to Doa
Remedios Trinidad during the term of Ferdinand Marcos. The geographic nature of the town is
diversified and multi-faceted, rich in nature's beauty like waterfall, rivers, caves, few mountains, hilly
areas and springs. The mainland are plain agricultural lands, some part of which was substantially
eroded due to commercialization and urbanization.[citation needed]
