Il^TRODUCTIOlSr.



The great number of inquiries addressed to the War Department
from all parts of the United States calling for infoimation regarding
the Philippine Islands, has indicated that a printed compendium of
such information would ])e practically useful to the American people.
The present work is designed to furnish such information.

The standard literature relating to the Philippines at the time of
American occupation was generally confined to books in Spanish, Ger-
man, French, and Dutch, and largely of ancient date. The English
books were usuall}" translations, Admiralt}" surveys, trade statistics,
and consular reports. The hydrographic data contained in Spanish
and English charts and instructions and United States compilations
from the same, were limited to the requirements of navigators only.

In the compilations of this work not onl}" the existing literature but
all available reports from military, naval, and civil officers, giving
the o])servations and results of campaigns, expeditions, reconnais-
sances, etc., have been consulted. When this data was collected bv
provinces it was submitted to officers returning from the Philippine
Islands to make corrections and additions from their personal knowl-
edge and experience. Their replies were universally commendatory
of the character and scope of the work and of its value for ready refer-
erence. In many instances their replies were accompanied by new
material which w^as incorporated in the text.

A feature is the spelling and pronunciation of local geographic
names. This subject has been given careful consideration. The value
; of letters affected by symbols of sounds is phonetically explained, as
is also the etymology of words whose origin, whether foreign, Span-
ish, Tagalog, or native, is indicated. The origin of the names of
places, in the various dialects of all the islands, is shown by the fol-
lowing abbreviations:

Sp. = Spanish.

Nat. = Native word common to more than one dialect.

Tag. =Tagiilog.

Ver. = Vernacular, other than Tagdlog.

Hisp. = Native, transformed into Spanish.

For. = Foreign.



VIII GAZETTEER OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

The work thus completed contains the most recent and authoritative
information, from oflicial and other sources, respecting the Philippine
(Archipelago) Islands, their geography, ph3^sical features, areas, com-
munications, population, towns, resources, wealth, products, industries,
commerce, finances, social economy, natural histor}^, military occupa-
tion, and civil government, followed bj^ an alphabetically arranged
descriptive list of islands, provinces, districts, townships (pueblos),
cities, towns, hamlets, ranges, mountains, peaks, volcanoes, rivers,
seas, straits, gulfs, sounds, bays, lakes, promontories, capes, points,
light-houses, and other mapped objects and places, numbering upward
of 10,300, with maps, charts, and illustrations.

The encyclopedic features have reference only to information of a
practical nature associated with the places described.



EXPLANATION OF THE ORTHOGRAPHY OF NAMES.



If we except some foreign names, especiall}^ the English names oi
places situated on the island of Palawan and surrounding seas, the
orthography of the geographical names of the Philippine Archipelago
is in the main Spanish. It is so in spelling and also in accentuation.

The Spanish colonists not only gave names in their own language to
diii'eient places in the islands, but in writing the native words in
Roman characters used, as was to be expected, the Spanish spelling
and accent. Alcantara, Nueva Ecija, La Laguna, La Union, and many
other names are genuine Spanish. On the other hand, Luzon, Pam-
panga, and Bulacan, illustrations of originally indigenous words with
Spanish spelling and sound, are native words written as they sounded
to the Spanish ear, therefore but the development into a Spanish form
of the native Avords, as Lusong (Luzon), which means a rice mortar;
Kapangpangan, a place where river banks abound; Bulakan (with
the accent on the second syllable), a country where cotton is raised and
grown,

I A great number of native names, however, have been kept, although
!in several cases some differences may be observed between the native
sound and the Spanish spelling, on account either of the location of
accent or of subordinating the word to Spanish grammatical rules.

There is pending a controversy among Spanish writers and Filipino
scholars, with whom a good many foreign authorities agree, in refer-
ence to the orthography of native names.

The contention of the latter is chiefly that c after any vowel, and
before a, o, and u, must be superseded by k; c before e and i by s; j
by h; o and u in diphthongs bj^ w; qu Ijy k.

Thus Antique must be Antike; Abiicay must be Abukaj"; Balabac
must be Balabak; Loa}^ must be Lway; Lalauan must be Lalawan;
Cebu must be Sebu; Jalajala must be Halahala. As it is not the pur
pose to indulge in this linguistic discussion, it may be said in passing
I that the general sentiment of Americans in the islands favors the reform
intended by the native writers, since such movement is harmonious
with the value of letters in the English language and with he modern
wilting of Malayan words. English books and maps have already
I idopted it.



X GAZETTEER OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

In this Gazetteer, however, the old Spanish orthography is generally
retained, pending official action taken to implant the change referred
to, not only because the Government publications follow that system,
but also with the view of avoiding further confusion on the subject.

ACCENTUATION.

Some of the most general rules relating to Spanish accentuation are
here set forth in a condensed way, so as to give an idea as to the proper
place for accent marks, as follows:

I. All words ending in a vowel, or in n or s, which are accented on
the last syllable must bear the accent mark on that syllable (Alcala,
Bacon, Alos), the rule being that the greater part of words ending in
a vowel, or in n or s, are accented on the penultimate (Alfonso, Bal-
bagan, Calamianes).

II. All words ending in a consonant other than n or s and which
are accented on the penultimate must bear the accent mark (Abuyog,
Apalit, Balabac), the ride being that the greater part of words ending
in other consonants than n or s are accented on the last syllable
(Ambil, Bagac, Dumanjug).

III. All words accented on a syllable previous to the penultimate
must bear the accent mark (Alcantara, Principe).

We omit here many other rules, because the above-mentioned suffice
to enable the reader to familiarize himself with the accentuation of
the names contained in the Gazetteer.

KEY TO PRONUNCTATTON.



Irrespective of having attached to each name its pronunciation by means of
orthoepical representations, familiar to English-speaking people, there are given in
the accompanying table the sounds of the letters of the Spanish alphabet, and of
certain signs peculiar to native writing:



Let-
ters.



Pronunciation and remarks.



English a in father

English e in dress, benefit

English i in ravine; the sound of ee in bee

English o in mote, gone; aw in dawn.

English u in flute; the sound of oo in root ,

When a vowel is equivalent to i

[Must be pronounofd with a deep guttural sound.

[â– English i in ice, tie when forming a diphthong

J^As ey in they; or ei in eight when forming a diphthong

J-As ow in how when forming a diphthong

>As o in one, when forming a diphthong

English b

{Sounds like k before a, o, and u
Before e and i is .soft like English s in native names, but
sounds like th in Spanish names.

Is always soft as in church

j-As in English.

[Is hard before a. o. and u

.^Sounds like English h before e and 1

|ue and ui after g sound like e and i, respectively

/Is not pronounced in Spanish names

\Is like English h in native names

Like English h

|as in English.

Sounds like the letters Ui in the English milUon

|as in English.

Has the sound of the letters nl in the English pinion

Sounds like ng in the English word singer; without the tilde

sounds like ng in the word finger.
As in English.

Sounds like k. Ue and ui after q sound like e and i respect-
ively.
{Rolled more than in English, especially at the beginning of
words and after 1, n, and s.
Like English r between vowels

Both letters are to be distinctly sounded.
As in sin.

[as in English.



Examples.



Like th in thin.



Abra, BaMbac.
Escalante, Itaves.
Balanguingui.

Ubong, Ugamut.
Lacy.



AgiUay.
Sibuguey.
Lanao, Mauban.
Canahauan, Laoag.

Bon toe.

Casolgan, Colasi, Cullli.

Cervera (Sp.), Cinapuran

(nat.).
Chocolate, Chongos.



Gapin, Golo, GusA.
Gerona, Gimanoc.
Guernica, Guiguinto.
Horadada.
Hagonoy.
Janiuay, Jaro.



Llana-Hermosa.



San o Nino.

Mangalddn, Pantabarigftn.



Quensitog, Quinabugan.

Ro.sario.

Aringay.



Eeference maybe made to the little care the Spaniards took in correctly pronounc-
ing the nasal consonant iig or simply g, and the deep vowels. For instance, Balanga
"s pronounced by Spaniards bah-lahn'-gah (the last a with a flat sound), and by
:he native is pi'onounced bah-lang'-ach. (the last vowel with a deep and somewhat
guttural sound).

XI



SIGNS RELATING TO ORTHOEPY.



The method of giving the pronunciation of the names in this Gazetteer by means
of English signs and representations is explained in the following remarks:

1. Each name is separated into syllables, which represent the Spanish or naf ve
sound, as the case may be.

2. An acute accent is placed after the syllable which should be pronounced more
forcibly than the others.

3. Whenever possible, the Spanish or native sound is represented by monosyllable
words very common in English.

4. Otherwise the representation is made as f Hows:
a is rejjresented by ah.

e by ay.

i l)y ee.

o by oh, au, or a-w.

u by oo.

ay J •
°^}bywah.

J by h.

g before e and i by h.
11 by ly.
ii by ny.

5. In the English representations g is always hard, as in give; th must be pro-
nounced as in thin, and ch as in chill.

6. "When two or more names with the same spelling occur in succession, and the
pronunciation of the first only is given, it is intended as a general rule that all sliall
be pronounced alike.

7. English names should be pronounced as in English.
