Product Description

Exalted by a royal privilege of being granted the sublime status of a Villa, Libon served as strategic base for the conquest of a large portion of Kabikolan, but as a consequence of the transfer of the Spanish settlement to the newly-founded city of Nueva Caceres, the exuberant Castillian spirit which shocked the erstwhile somber mood of the native world of Libon gradually vanished. Libon relapsed to a long and dreary state of cultural stupor. The memory of its exalted place in national history receded to the background until completely swallowed up the mist of oblivion.
