Sison

Sison, officially the Municipality of Sison, (Pangasinan: Baley na Sison; Ilokano: Ili ti Sison; Tagalog: Bayan ng Sison), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 47,518 people.^[3]

Sison was once part of San Fabian until petitioners from Barrio Bolaoen signed a manifesto on June 30, 1858 expressing their intention of creating a separate pueblo.^[6] It was filed to the Governadorcillo of San Fabian and was later endorsed to the Alcalde Mayor of Lingayen on August 8, 1858.^[7] After the definition of the jurisdiction of the proposed new pueblo, the administrative proceedings began with the mayor of San Fabian himself, Don Enrique Casaoay, as among those who appeared in behalf of the petitioners. On December 15, 1862, a royal decree was finally issued declaring the creation of a pueblo independent of San Fabian’s civil jurisdiction. The pueblo was called Alava.^[8] Don Faustino Baclit served as its ad interim head until the pueblo’s first elected president, Don Felix Genelazo, assumed his office on March 1, 1868.^[9] Under the following American regime, a bill effecting the incorporation of Artacho to Alava was approved on March 25, 1918 through the sponsorship of Senator Pedro Ma. Sison.^[10][11]Following this incorporation, Alava was renamed Sison in honor of Don Perfecto Sison, first provincial governor of Pangasinan.
