Histori
The early history of Calbayog has been attributed to the introduction and spread of Catholicism in the country. Calbayog started as one of the small settlements on Samar Island, the area assigned to Jesuit missionaries. Jesuit historian, as early as the seventeenth century, especially the priest. Ignacio Alcina, wrote many stories about it and its people. Jesuit records and reports refer to these settlements originally as Ibatan and Jibatang (Hibatang). In the 1739 annual report, the name Calbayog appeared for the first time. Fr. de Huerta, a nineteenth-century Franciscan writer, notes in his Estado Geografico that in earlier times Calbayog was called Tiayban because it had been erected near the river of the same name. Then it was moved due to flooding to the shore of the Hibatang River, whose name was taken. Then again the settlers were moved to the place they occupied permanently and took the name Calbayog.
Hibatang had become a small settlement at the beginning of the 17th century. It slowly occupies a prominent place among several small settlements. It became visita <(a large barrio with a chapel, similar to a chapel in England) from Capul under the jurisdiction of the city's parish priest. The Calbayog Church was built from the scree formation near Malajog, the shortest distance now is the Malabungto bridge. After the expulsion of Jesuit missionaries from the Philippines in the 18th century, the administration of the Samar parishes was handed over to the Franciscan monks.
Calbayog as a city and parish during the Spanish period consists of several villages, the most populous called the visitas. Calbayog grows from visita size and becomes a pueblo (city). It was created a separate parish in 1785. Apart from the ecclesial jurisdiction of the Capuch priest priest, he was then given his own minister, becoming a religious center. His parish priest paid attention to the spiritual needs of the people living in Calbayog City now, the municipality of Sta. Margarita, Sto. NiÃÆ' Â ± o and Almagro. At the end of the 19th century a number of visas became poblaciones when new cities were created from Calbayog. They are Caybago (later called Oquendo), Sta. Margarita, Weyler (later called Tinambacan) and Sto. NiÃÆ' Â ± o.
In 1878, Calbayog was hit by a cholera epidemic, killing nearly half of the total population. Fr. Sebastian Cordova was forced to leave to save himself from the disease, bringing Biktoy with him as his sacristan. In Manila, Biktoy is a working student, serving the monastery without sacrificing his studies. One year after graduation, Father. Cordova recommends Biktoy to work for the Spanish Army. He was trained and accepted as a corporal. After one year, he was promoted and assigned to become the second lieutenant in the Spanish Army infantry battalion. His first deployment and jurisdiction as an officer were throughout the Visayan Territory.
Unraveling a revolutionary society, Katipunan
After Rizal's exile in Dapitan, Katipunan was born in Binondo, Manila. Andres Bonifacio and his men moved heaven and earth against the Spanish government led by Gob. Heneral Polavieja. Katipunan extends its membership from Luzon to the Visayas Region, thus increasing the number of Katipuneros within a period of one year. Sensing Katipunan's secret plan to overthrow the government, the Spanish authorities invaded the Binondo printing machine where subversive documents were discovered and confiscated. One of the documents confiscated is a list of members of Katipunan. Benedicto Nijaga's name is one on the list, becoming a revolutionary fund collector in the area. After knowing the arrest, Governor Polavieja ordered the arrest of all suspected members of Katipunan. Nijaga was arrested along with the other twelve katipuneros while campaigning for a revolutionary fund. Shortly after they were imprisoned and reportedly tortured, a trial took place, reminiscent of Rizal and other Philippine nationalists. The 13 men were sentenced and sentenced to death. On January 11, 1897, the thirteen men were taken to the Bagumbayan field under tight guard. Just before sunrise, the men were executed.

Sarakiki as a ritual dance is a dance offered from Warays to their gods or gods rooted in pre-colonial religious beliefs.

Rituals to please these spirits are held during parties and other occasions such as cropping and harvesting seasons, drought and in moments of horrific epidemics. The ceremony can take several days. It involves all villagers who offer sacrifices (manok) to glorify spirits. Traditionally, our ancestors made use of the patani ugis nga manok (black fur and white fur chicken) as offerings in the worship of spirits.
