History

Republic Act No. 2102, which created the municipality of San Roque, was enacted without executive approval on March 28, 1959. The territory of the town was described as follows:

  • On the north by the limits of the municipal water as prescribed by the Revised Administrative Code;
  • On the Northeast in straight line starting from the seashore down to the Cacapisan Creek passing Dale up to the bank of the Pambujan River;
  • On the East thru a straight line from the bank of the Pambujan River running south-westerly to the mouth of the Cabigaho Creek;
  • On the West by a straight line retaining the former boundary between Mondragon and Pambujan.

The law creating the town referred to the barrios of Lao-angan, Coroconog, Dale, Balnasan, Bantayan, Pagsang-an, Malobago, Lawa-an, Ginagda-nan, and Balud and the sitio of Cabigaho as comprising the town.{{cite web|url=http://lawph.com/statutes/ra2102.html|title=R.A.
