Punta Bulata white beach resort a top standard resort and hotel is
surrounded with natural beauty and dive spots.
In 1822, was formally founded by Don Vicente Paulo Decena, believed to have
come from Cebu. He was enticed into Cauayan city by the legendary beauty of
a native girl who subsequently became his wife. During the Spanish era, a
seat for the municipal government was sought. Guihulngan, Cauayan city and
Isio were candidates but Isio prevailed as it was more populated. It got the
honor of being the center of government although “gobernadorcillos” were
accorded Cauayan city and Guihulngan.
Not much progress happened to the town at that time since the Spanish rulers
were reluctant to educate their subjects. Even if they built schools, only a
few privileged were admitted to them. There were no roads and most people
were required to render forced labor.
All these changed when the Americans came in 1904. The tribunal in Isio was
shifted to Cauayan city and this fostered development. The natives were
taught modern ways to raise crops while schoolhouses, roads and bridges were
constructed. Not even the Japanese occupation could disrupt the development
of the town since then.
The changing of the town’s name into “Moises Padilla” was in honor of its
defeated Nacionalista Party candidate for mayor who was tortured to death by
the Special Police of then Governor Rafael Lacson shortly after the 1951
elections. The town became a full-fledged Municipality on October 16, 1951.
For more than 50 years, the municipality evolved into a dynamic yet peaceful
community of law-abiding people. And with all the colors of its noble
history, creates its own unique identity and indubitable stature not only as
the place of beautiful and brave people but also as the “Livestock Capital
of Negros Occidental”.
