Abuyog is the largest coastal town of eastern Leyte facing Leyte Gulf out into the Pacific Ocean. It is bordered on one end by a large river and inland by long mountain ranges covered with dense forests. The town got her name, it is told, when Spanish sailors went ash

ore in an early settlement at the mouth of the Abuyog River, to replenish their supplies. The Spaniards asked the natives what the black creatures were and the reply was, "Buyog. Repeating after the natives, the sailors muttered, "Ah! Buyog." From then on, that settlement was identified as Abuyog to which some Spanish chroniclers often used in reference to the whole island of Leyte. But Abuyog in the early annals, though grown prosperous, remained obscure because of the absence of a powerful chieftain. It was Datu Bangcao who had his seat of government in Carigara, who ruled Abuyog. People mostly from Samar migrated to Abuyog because of the many opportunities the immigrants got from its rich soil. The dialect of this town which acquired the name "melting pot" became "waray- wwray" from the Samar immigrants. In 1588, presumably on account of mal-administration of the Incumbent encomendero, the inhabitants revolted. Capitan Juan. Esguerra had to send a punitive force to chastise the assassins of the encomendero. In 1613, Sanguiles and Caragas plundered and marauded this town. In 1655 the Jesuits made Abuyog their second post, with Dagami as the center. The year 1716 saw the founding of the town and parish under the patronage of St. Francis Xavier, the apostle of the Indies. The Agustinians took over in 1768 and continued the work of Frs. Jose Herrera and Cipriano Barbasan. The people of this era, according to Fr. Agustin Maria de Castro, were very rich though extremely belligerent; they continually defied the moros. In 1843 the town was given to the Franciscan Order with Fr. Santiago Malonda ast the first Franciscan parish priest. A horse path was opened between Abuyog and Dulag in 1851. The early capitanes were Galza, Foran, Nicolas Mandia, Faustino Remanes, Prudencio Remanes, Felipe Costin, Ciriaco Costin, Eulalio Brillo and Vicente Tiaoson. Eulalio Brillo became presidente in 1896-1899, while Nazario Tupa took office in 1900. Eugenio Villote finished Tupa's term. The other presidentes were: Catalino Tarcela (1903-1904), Juan Hidalgo (1904 1905), Dionisio Casames (1905-1906), Jacinto Mandia (1908-1911), Agustin Congson (1912-1914). The period 1901 to 1906 was notable for the notorious pulahanes bolero attacks, the most infamous leader of which Faustino Ablen. The municipal building was razed. Ex-Capitan) Eugenio Villote, Pedro Gonzaga and two other policemen were killed in the encounter. In the electoral division made by the Philippine Assembly, Abuvog was placed in the third district of Leyte. During the Commonwealth. regime. Abuyog was transferred to the fourth district. During these periods, the town prospered under the administration of Arturo Brillo, Vicente Brillante, Basilio Adolfo (two terms). Antero Brillo and Ricardo Collantes (three terms). In 1940, Pedro Gallego was elected mayor and served until July 3, 1946. On July 4, 1946, Catalino Landia was appointed mayor. He was re-elected for three terms. Abuyog's progress took greater strides with the inauguration of the first passenger bus service in 1925. In 1936, then vice-president Osmeña inaugurated the Baybay-Abuyog road, thus linking for the first time, by good road, the eastern and western coasts of Leyte. At the outbreak of World War II, Abuyog became a Japanese occupied area. But on October 13, 1942, the Japanese abandoned the town due to guerilla pressure. They came back on November 26, 1943, much stronger this time, yet they suffered heavy losses in the hands of the guerillas. On July 14, 1944, the submarine "Nautilus" landed in Bo. San Roque, Abuyog, to unload 72 tons of much-needed weapons and ammunitions, food and propaganda materials for Leyte and Samar Guerillas. When the American Armada was sighted off Leyte Gulf, the Japanese forces deserted the town of Abuyog before the American landing. After liberation, elementary school education was resumed on December 4, 1944 under the supervision of the Philippine Civil Affairs Unit (PCAU). From then on, Abuyog's development went on steadily under the consistent leadership of Mayor Catalino T. Landia. Source: Leyte Towns Histories/Legends by Francisco S. Tantuico, Jr., Copyright 1980

Para sa mga Katoliko, ang Ash Wednesday ay hudyat ng pagsisimula ng 40 araw ng Kuwaresma bilang paghahanda sa mga Mahal na Araw.

Ang abo na inilalagay sa noo ay mula sa sinunog na palaspas noong nakaraang Palm Sunday. At habang inilalagay ang mga ito sa noo, sinasabi ang mga katagang: “𝘼𝙡𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙠𝙖𝙬 𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙠 𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙖 𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙠 𝙠𝙖 𝙧𝙞𝙣 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙠”

Isang paalala na ang Kuwaresma ay panahon ng pagbabalik-loob, panalangin, at mas malalim na pagmamahal sa Diyos at kapwa – higit sa maralita. 💜
