CRITIQUE PAPER: THE LEGEND OF BATO

This town was formerly called as ‘’Kaliligno’’ or ‘’Caligno’’ named


by the natives that settled along the river area. See also, the Bato’s native
Pre-Spanish Era Early Settlers. This small village later was elevated into a
status of a town under the decree of Spanish Superior Government on
February 15, 1753. Years back, a parish was already existing which was
also made under the same decree. This Parish adopted ‘’the most Holy
Trinity’’ as its patron; its feast day is celebrated every Sunday after the
Pentecost. Known for the best noodles called Pansit Bato.

OVERVIEW

The population speaks a different form of Rinconada Bikol called


Bato variant, a lowland dialect. Lake Bato is also known as the largest lake
in the region. There are a lot of beaches that our town can be proud of,
having white sand, white caves, natural falls and springs. Bato Parish is
also known as Historical Landmark. As the time goes by the population of
the said was increasing.

Everyone deserves to be proud of something that is attached strongly


to him/her. It is his/her identity that’s why we must love our own hometown,
patronize it and always look back where you came from. In modern
corporations, we have realized the power of such bonds in enabling
teamwork. We feel proud because we are wired to feel special bonds with
the groups we live in. Nation is just one of the dozens of
groups/identities/badges we wear. Such bonds, pride and loyalty helps
teamwork and social order and thus widely encouraged.
