Municipality of Salay, Misiamis Oriental
Salay is a fourth-class municipality in the Philippines' Misamis Oriental province. The city is known for its handmade paper and paper crafts. Same as Japanese paper, but made from local fibers. According to the 2020 census, It has a population is 29,998 inhabitants.
BRIEF HISTORY
The word Salay can be derived from the history of the site's early settlers who were looking for mussels and shellfish. The word Sigay eventually became Salay.
Salay's evangelization may have begun in 1650 through his Cagayan missionary work, which included a visit from Tagoloan to Gompot. On November 12, 1830, Cagayan's former visitor, Jassan, became an independent capital, with Tagoroan, Balingasag, Saray, and Kinogitan becoming visits. Jasan's separation from Cagayan was made possible by the increasing number of missionaries stationed in the area. This was also the reason why the big cities were eventually fragmented.
In fact, according to Spanish documents, the Misamis district was divided by four parties into six parties and their corresponding villages. Saray is a city in the southern part of the country.
Eventually, on November 3, 1849, the parish of Balingasag, called Santa Rita de Cassia, was established and separated from its mother parish, Jasan.
Balingasag county headquarters are located in Rogoron, Sarai, Kunugitan, Talisayan, and Gingoog counties.
These areas were the early barangays under Saray village. Families such as González, Pérez, Menusa, Acosta, Bustamante, Fuentes, Rodríguez, Sakai, and Baranguio are said to be descendants of the early Higaunon of the region.
One of the barrios under the Pueblo de Saray, Binuangan, due to its strategic location, was to be home to a new municipal administration by the Spanish authorities.
Once the coastal plain was discovered, missionaries installed the Missionary Cross in Kaslog in 1883, and Spanish officials moved the proposed city government from Daan Lunsod (Binuangan) to Saray. The early Spaniards did the city planning.
Split Poblacion into blocks with wide streets. Poblacion was then divided into residential land and residents of Binuangan, Kiogak, and Americans were encouraged to build their homes in the area. As more and more people called for Saray to be established as an independent community from Balingasag, a civic group called El Projeso Sarayano was formed.
It was also Mr. Hevia who wrote the petition submitted by Sarajanos in hopes of their own church. One of the relevant provisions in the association's statute (another municipality) is that people donate 2 centavos to the organization for every kilo of copra sold to the shops.
Salay Central School provides the city's students with the best education, while nearby Salay National High School provides secondary education, the latter of which ranks nationally as the best among public schools.
