Barangay Government of Burgos Alicia,Isabela

DESCRIPTION OF THE BARANGAY

Brief History

In 1939 a new barrio was curved out from barrio Rizal and was named Burgos. The place was originally called “DAMORTES”, because infront of the Dulawen Creek bounding the place was a big “Damotes” tree, which is a fruitbearing tree. The first to settle in Damortes was Albino Infante and his family who hailed from Binmaley, Pangasinan.

On January 1, 1939, the settlers finally constituted their barrio and named it Burgos in honor of the Martyr and National Hero, Father Jose Burgos. Of all the barrios of Alicia, only Burgos kept a record of its barrio head since 1939 to 1979.
