The islands of Masbate, Ticao and Burias were explored by Captain Luis Enriquez de
Guzman in 1569. This exploration work was continued by Captain Andres de Ibarra. Ibalon
(Albay) Province assumed jurisdiction over Masbate Islands, and Masbate was named the
town’s capital village; for security reasons, the seat of government had to be moved time and
time again. It was first moved to Mobo and then again, to Guiom. It was later transferred to
Palanog near the mouth of Lumbang River to make it more accessible to Bicol mainland and
to the islands of Burias and Ticao. However, government records were kept inland in Cagay.
The political history of the town dates back to the 1850s when the Spaniards established their
government under a Spanish Gobernadorcillo. The Masbateños’ vassalage to Spain ended
sometime in the early part of 1898 as an offshoot of the libertarian campaign waged by General
Emilio Aguinaldo.
