Nagcarlan, Laguna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Nagcarlan was headed by a valiant named datu Gat Lakilaw before its Christianization. The town's conversion to Christianity began in 1578 and it formally became a pueblo in 1583, under a Franciscan friar.
It was in Nagcarlan where Fr. Juan de Placencia, a Franciscan missionary, wrote the first Diccionario Hispanico-Tagalog in 1579. His manuscript, Costumbres de los Tagalog which was written ten years later, was used as a guide by the alcalde mayores for effective and righteous local governance. It was in 1851 when the famous Underground Cemetery of Nagcarlan was built.
