San Isidro, officially the Municipality of San Isidro (Waray: Bungto han San Isidro; Tagalog: Bayan ng San Isidro), is a municipality in the province of Northern Samar, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 27,867 people.[3]
San Isidro was originally part of the Municipality of Allen, Northern Samar. Its history dates back during the era of Spanish colonization, when Filipino natives were always on the run-traveling in search of an inhabited and remote place to hide and escape slavery and maltreatments of Spanish governments. The first human beings that have landed on Calagundian shores around the last quarter of the 19th century were some intrepid Bicolanos, Boholanos, Leyteños and Cebuanos pioneers. They came to the place by prodigious voyages using only the primitive boat called “velus”.
Later, during this period, other groups of immigrants were lured from the nearby island provinces and Bicol regions to the coastal plains of Calagundian. These families formed the nucleus of Barrio Calagundian, a part of La Granja town (now Allen). These people were basically engaged in fishing and farming as their only main sources of livelihood. Having progressed as the years passed by, more people coming from the islands of san Antonio, Capul, San Vicente, Almagro, Tagapul-an and even as far as Masbate and other far away places inhabited to Calagundian to seek for a more greener pastures. As a barrio, the Calagundianons, though they came from different places with different views and ideas, customs and traditions, were able to establish among themselves a happy and harmonious community, and they even considered themselves a one family community. These were the uniqueness of the people of Calagundian - determined, united and organized in their pursuit of becoming a cohesive political unit.
Finally, after years of political struggle for independence from its mother town; Allen, the municipality of San Isidro became one of the twenty-four municipalities now comprised by Province of Northern Samar upon enactment of Republic Act Numbered Eleven Eighty Seven (R.A. 1187) on June 20, 1954. The Poblacion, the seat of the Municipal Government, was formerly called Barrio Calagundian. The change of name came with the creation of the Municipality. The original barrios comprised by the Municipality per Republic Act No.1187 were seven, namely, Calagundian, Erenas, Caaguit-itan, Palanit, San Juan, Veriato and San Roman. These barrios were separated from the Municipality of Allen and became the nucleus of the new Municipality.
Almost five years later, on May 16, 1959, Republic Act No. 2214 was passed creating seven additional barrios for San Isidro. These were San Roque, Sabelia, Happy Valley, Acedillo, Alegria, Salvacion and Mabuhay. However, with the creation of the Municipality of Victoria on April 27, 1968, the barrios of Erenas, Acedillo and San Roman were separated from San Isidro and formed part of Victoria. Meanwhile, on January 21, 1972, the Municipal Council approved Resolution No. 02 creating Barangay Eladio T. Balite, separating the same from Barangay Alegria. Later on, the Poblacion was divided in two, thereby creating Barangay Poblacion Norte and Barangay Poblacion Sur. As of this time, San Isidro has fourteen Barangays. Yearning a separate parish from that of Allen, Northern Samar, a church decree dated October 31, 1959 made it realized.
Thus, the newly created parish had been given a juridical name as Parish of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Its Patron Saint is Señor San Isidro de Labrador whose feast is religiously celebrated every 15th day of May. San Isidro is now 48 years old in its tranquil state as municipality and 40 years as parish with the collective efforts of the seven Municipal Mayors from the start and more than thirty Roman Catholic Priests from both Franciscan and Diocesan Order who extended moral and spiritual support to maintain the laying foundations which embraced the venerability of San Isidro.
