Welcome to our web site
This is our home town in cyberspace. Many of our
kababayans who have migrated abroad who wish to reminisce
the beauty and simplicity of life in this rustic town are
welcome to visit this web site. We hope to link our kababayan
with their relatives, friends and other people who trace
their roots to Luisiana. To meet our members, Join
our egroup for news and tidbits.
Town Fiesta
On October 9, 2005, Luisiana celebrated its 151st year
honoring its patron saint Nuestra Senora del Rosario (Our
Lady of the Rosary). The children and spouses of the late Jesus
and Teofila Estrellado served as the Hermanos and Hermanas
for this year's town fiesta. Procession of the Virgin Mary
was held on Oct. 7, 2005. Click to view pictures.
Town Center
The town center has an approximate three-hectare well laid
plaza. Half of it has three fountains with the monument of
Dr. Jose P. Rizal at the center while the other half has the
glorieta, a basketball court and convertible tennis court.
The plaza is surrounded by the municipal hall, Catholic and
Aglipayan churches, and several commercial establishments.

Do you know your Family
Tree ?
In the early days many Filipinos did not have family names.
The Colonial Spanish government in their desire to increase
collection of taxes, decreed in the year 1850 to issue family
names, and where families have surnames already, they were
changed. Most family names of our forefathers were changed.
Bernardo was changed to Estrellado, Alcantara to Roasa, and
Mariano to Esperanza and so forth. (more...) |
