BRIEF HISTORY

It was said that about the early part of the 20th century, tribal kingdoms already existed in pockmarks in the depth of the timberlands before they were explored by civilization. Each Kingdom was ruled by a Datu who was Commander-in-Chief, judge, and lawmaker. 

One such kingdom was ruled by Datu Bugsuan, a just ruler who was profoundly loved and revered by his subjects. Datu Bugsuan has a beautiful daughter named Mopiha who was betrothed to Prince Aliwig, who came from a friendly kingdom. On warm days, Mopiha would wander into a creek, and as her wont, wade into the crystal-clear pool, clad on her own bare flesh; the water to herself. 

Mopiha’s attachment to the creek was deep and resolute, and out of love for nature caused her father to decree that no part of the creek should be desecrated and that life on its waters was to be preserved. When Datu Bugsuan died, Mopiha inherited his kingdom and under the conjugal rulership with her husband, Prince Aliwig, she earned the love and respect of her people because of her beauty, wisdom, and just heart. 

Until her death at a ripe age, Mopiha left a legacy of a sublime love for nature, which is now a paradox to the present generation. For the love of their tribal queen, the aborigines perpetuated their memory of her by naming the crystal-like lace of waterways, Mopiha of Mopia which became the first reference to New Corella.

BRIEF HISTORY

In 1935, five years before the outbreak of World War II, a group of Boholanos, headed by Catalino Sayon, a young agricultural graduate and fresh from his adventures in the United States, arrived in the small barrio of Bugwak, part of the former district of Saug, now the municipality of Asuncion to seek for lands that they hoped to till and cultivate. 

The plain became the haven for the second, third and fourth waves of Boholanos and other Christian settlers, and after a year, the barrio of New Corella was born, a name was given after an old town of Corella, Bohol. New Corella became the fourth barrio created within the eastern part of the vast Saug District.

Turan served from 1986-1988 and was re-elected in the May 1995 election. 

And last May 2004, he was re-elected and is on his third term as the Municipal Mayor of New Corella. Alcoran followed as the new mayor of New Corella from 2007-2010 and was re-elected in 2010, serving from 2010-2016. Alcoran was elected as the first lady Mayor of New Corella for the term 2016-2019. 

In the 2019 Mid-term elections, Mayor Rhodora who seek re-election was defeated by a young and dynamic lady in person Jorjan B. Mayor Jorjan B. Federiso was elected on May 13, 2019, as the youngest lady Mayor of the Municipality of New Corella. Hon. Jorjan B. Federiso will serve the term 2019-2022.
