Tudela (Cebuano: ''Lungsod sa Tudela''; Tagalog: ''Bayan ng Tudela'') is a fourth class municipality in the province of Misamis Occidental, Philippines. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 27,371 people.〔 Tudela is widely known for its colorful Binalbal Festival, where many revelers are clad in very gory costumes like a giant Halloween costume party.〔(Binalbal Festival )〕 It is held every New Year's Day (Jan. 1).〔Tudela Binalbal Festival Official Souvenir, published January 1, 2003, (Local Government Unit of Tudela, Misamis Occidental); Panfilo S. Olarte, Secretary to the Sanggunian 1988-2003〕 Close to the border of Tudela and Sinacaban, its neighboring town to the north, is the eco-tourism attraction Misamis Occidental Aquamarine Park (MOAP). ==History== During the Spanish occupation of the Philippines, Tudela was previously known as Simbalagon. In 1847, a Spaniard named Juan Tejada founded the sitio of Simbalagon (after Simbalagon River, a tributary of Clarin River). The origin of its name is ambiguous. One version claims that a certain Father Jimenez, a Spanish priest, changed its name from Simbalagon to Tudela after his birthplace in Spain. The other version states that in 1854 another Spanish priest named Apolinario Tudela was assigned in the town of 'Kuyamis' (later renamed 'Misamis', which is now the City of Ozamiz). Simbalagon, at that time a sitio of Kuyamis, was later renamed Tudela in honor of the priest, Apolinario Tudela. A legendary derivation of the name of Tudela also tells that a group of people was sentenced to have their tongue cut off because of their false accusations against the Spanish government. The first syllable of Tudela was derived from the Spanish word ''todos'', meaning all (the convicted), and ''dela'' of the native dialect, meaning tongue.〔Tito P. Daaca, page 1 of “History and Cultural Life of Tudela,” (Bureau of Public Schools, National Library, 1953)〕 On February 21, 1921, during the American occupation, Governor General Francis Burton Harrison, through the efforts of Senator Jose F. Clarin, created the Municipality of Tudela through Executive Order No. 61 Series of 1920. The first appointed Municipal President was Primitivo Ninang and its first Vice President was Pirigrin Sengidas. The following councilors appointed were Pio Adecir, Simeon Fuentes, Gregorio Madula, Casimeo Rubio, Julio Maliao, Florentino Olarte, Felix Codilla, and Isidro Sol. The first appointed Municipal Secretary was Jose M. Castaños, known as “Secretario Municipal Interino”. The Provincial Fiscal nominated him and it was approved by Municipal Council Res. No. 123, series of 1923. Spanish Language was used in the preparation of minutes, resolutions and ordinances from 1921 up to 1928 and in the later part of 1929 during the term of Ulpiano Balazo as Municipal President. Originally, Tudela had 36 barangays. Since 1995, it has 33 barangays, when 3 barangays (Tuno, Lalud, and Lampasan) were annexed to the newly created municipality of Don Victoriano. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tudela, Misamis Occidental」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
