Brief History of Jasaan
Jasaan is a peaceful town in the province of Misamis Oriental, located along Macajalar Bay in the Central Coast of Northern Mindanao, 30 kilometers east of Cagayan de Oro City. It is bounded by the municipalities of Balingasag, Villanueva and Claveria. Although it is a small town, it has 4 major-scale industries operating in the suburbs, and all educational levels from primary to tertiary are offered here.
The old municipal hall of Jasaan...
Known for their musical and dance prowess, and strong, traditional Christian heritage, the Jasaanons usually succeed in musical and dance-related competitions so that neighboring municipalities would hire competent trainers from Jasaan. This little town, too, has produced 50+ Catholic priests and religious who continually serve the Church up to this day.
Brief History Of JAsaan
The history of the Municipality of Jasaan , just like other municipalities of Misamis Oriental, can be traced back from the pre-Spanish era. Jasaan, as early as l840, was already an existing municipality. It was reduced to a barangay in the year 1903 and was placed under the jurisdiction of Balingasag with the occupation of the Americans who governed the country after the Spaniards.
Jasaan was named by a Spanish missionary who chanced upon a native sharpening his bolo in Sapong Spring in what is now called Kota, Aplaya. The missionary asked for the name of the place, however, the native replied "Ag-hasaa" meaning, "I am sharpening my bolo". The missionary, thought that he was answered correctly, called the place "Ag-hasaa", but finding it difficult for him to pronounce the word, he called it "Hasaan" instead. Then it was changed to "Jasaan".
Hasaanons were challenged to work for the restoration of their municipal status. Thus, the Municipality, by virtue of Executive Order No. l65, issued by President Elpidio Quirino on August l8, 1948, regained its municipal status. On November l0, l948, a formal inauguration took place and the first set of appointed municipal officials assumed office.
From a sleepy and sparsely populated community, Jasaan grew and developed into one of the agro-industrial municipalities of Misamis Oriental. (source: LGU)
