Pandan
is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Catanduanes, Philippines. According to the 2007 census, it has a population of 19,005 people in 3,181 households.
HISTORY

Formerly the town site was located some two kilometers away south of the present site. Then the people were disturbed by constant depredation of bandits coming from other places.

The present site has been chosen because it was near the sea and the fishermen found it very convenient for their trade, however, being near the sea, it was vulnerable to Moros who always come to get their belongings or even capture some people.

As a defense against such moro raids, the people planted pandan shrubs close to each other to form a formidable defense against invaders. When the Spaniards came they found the plants around the poblacion in great abundance. When asked what the name of the shrubs was, the people told them that they were pandan shrubs. Thus, the Spaniards called the place Pandan.

The municipality lies on the northern tip of the province, 96 kilometers from the capital town of Virac. Bounded on the south by the municipality of Caramoran, on the west by the Maqueda Channel, on the east by the municipality of Bagamanoc and on the north by the Pacific Ocean. It has a total land area of 11,990 hectares. This is a town of 17,096 friendly and hospitable people, to which 99% are Roman Catholic.

Of the 26 barangays that comprise the municipality, four of which actually form the town proper, which are Libod, the biggest barangay in terms of population, Napo, Pandan del Sur and Pandan del Norte. The rest are found usually near the seashore. The rest being an inland barangays.

The municipality does not only boast of the natural beauties, it has which are the Parway, Mangbang, Parola beaches, the Hinik-Hinik falls (Hinik-hinik is a local term for rain shower) and Minaipit falls, but especially of its being a hometown of Senators, Congressman, Governor, Cardinal and Ambassador.

The people of Pandan are generally peace loving, God fearing and are happy people. Everyone in the community is a brother, a sister and a friend where the products of which could be shared even food itself without thought of having it repaid or reciprocated. Visitors are offered the comforts that the family could afford even it means that the owner should lay on the floor just to make the visitor eased at home by using the “papag”. And that is not enough, before going home; products of their yard would be wrapped for you to bring in your family plus a bunch of cockling chickens.

During celebrations, immediate neighbors are invited bringing among the whole members of the family and this seemed to be incomplete without tuba drinking and little dancing. Pantomina is a long cherished dance that never changes with time despite of the current dance and music. Pandananons has a series of collected pantomina songs which are now famous composed locally, of course it is not only the above songs, Pandananons used to compose, for evidence of which that gained popularity was a song composed by the late Mr. Alfredo dela Rosa, former Municipal Secretary of the Sangguniang Bayan of Pandan, entitled “Islang Catandungan”. This song won first place in the regional contest in Sorsogon sometime on the late 60’s.

ANN
(Anong News Ngayon)

Ang mga nakakalokang balita, sasainyo..
NOW NA!!!

Noodles ng DepEd, peke na, overpriced pa!!!

Alam n'yo ba na ang mga noodles na ipinapakain sa Grade 1 pupils sa buong bansa ay halos walang pagkakaiba sa instant noodles na nabibili natin sa tindahan? At ang sinasabing ingredient ng "nutritious noodles" na fresh egg daw ay egg powder lang naman pala! Ito ay ayon sa resulta ng ginawang pagsusuri sa mga noodles sa Vietnam. Nakakaloka diba! Kung ganun nga ang siste, eh magkano nga lang ba ang halaga ng isang instant noodle sa tindahan? Php7-8.00 lang naman ata. Ibig sabihin ay overpriced ang mga noodles ng DepEd nang halos Php 11.00 dahil Php18.00 ang halaga nito. Grabe di'ba! Mukhang imbes na lumusog ang ating mga batang mag-aaral ay nagagamit pa sila para mas lumusog ang mga bulsa ng napakaraming abusadong tao sa gobyerno! DepEd, DepEd, 'di kaya mas magandang bawiin na lang ang resulta ng latest survey kung saan lumabas na isa ang DepEd sa "less corrupt" na ahensiya sa ating bansa? Nagtatanong lang..

Pilipinas ikalawa sa may mga pinakamaruming dagat sa buong mundo!!

Nakakahiya! Number 2 pala ang ating bansa sa may pinakamaraming basura sa dagat. Ayon sa Ocean Concervancy, 1,355,236 na piraso na basura ang nakuha sa baybaying dagat ng Pilipinas. Sunod ito sa America na may 3,945,855 at pangatlo naman ang Costa Rica na may 1,017,621 na piraso. Galing talaga ng Pinoy noh!! Magtapon ng basura. Di kaya sa susunod ay tawagin naman tayo ng mga dayuhan na "Bansa ng mga Basura"? Nagtatanong lang..

At 'yan ang nakakalokang balita ngayon.

Hanggang sa susunod..
