Sison

Sison , officially the Municipality of Sison , ( Pangasinan : Baley na Sison ; Ilokano : Ili ti Sison ; Tagalog : Bayan ng Sison ), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Pangasinan , Philippines . According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 47,518 people. [3] Sison was once part of San Fabian until petitioners from Barrio Bolaoen signed a manifesto on June 30, 1858 expressing their intention of creating a separate pueblo . [6] It was filed to the Governadorcillo of San Fabian and was later endorsed to the Alcalde Mayor of Lingayen on August 8, 1858. [7] After the definition of the jurisdiction of the proposed new pueblo , the administrative proceedings began with the mayor of San Fabian himself, Don Enrique Casaoay, as among those who appeared in behalf of the petitioners. On December 15, 1862, a royal decree was finally issued declaring the creation of a pueblo independent of San Fabian’s civil jurisdiction. The pueblo was called Alava. [8] Don Faustino Baclit served as its ad interim head until the pueblo’s first elected president, Don Felix Genelazo, assumed his office on March 1, 1868. [9] Under the following American regime, a bill effecting the incorporation of Artacho to Alava was approved on March 25, 1918 through the sponsorship of Senator Pedro Ma. Sison. [10] [11] Following this incorporation, Alava was renamed Sison in honor of Don Perfecto Sison, first provincial governor of Pangasinan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sison,_Pangasinan
