Veruela - Sala Capitular
Veruela, officially the Municipality of Veruela ( ceb, Lungsod sa Veruela; tgl, Bayan ng Veruela), is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Agusan del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 39,708 people. History Veruela is considered the oldest town of upper Agusan del Sur. It was believed the name "Veruela" was derived from the word "virus", as the entire area was suffering from smallpox and cholera in the late 18th century when the Spanish missionaries encountered the tribe. From then on, the name ''Veruela'' existed out of the Spanish word ''La Verus''. The Manobo tribes later moved to ''Manning'', also known as ''Linongsuran'' along the Agusan River. In 1916 however, a great earthquake destroyed the settlement leaving no trace of it, forcing the survivors to evacuate and reorganize themselves into another place, now the barangay ''poblacion'' of the municipality. In the 18th century, the Muslim tribes in Davao invaded the Manobos in Ag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
