history

Palapag was the hometown of Juan Ponce Sumuroy , who led a rebellion against the Spanish colonial rulers from 1649 to 1650. Juan Ponce Sumuroy belonged to the Waray people . The main reason for the so-called Sumuroy Rebellion was the forcible recruitment of workers from Eastern Visayas to work in the shipyards in Cavite .
