[edit] Geography
It lies on a strip of seashore off the Mambulao bay, and is bounded by a hill on the northeast of the bay, within the province of Camarines Norte. On December 1, 1934, the municipal council passed a resolution urging a change in the name of the town.
[edit] History
Pursuant to the provision of Act No. 4155, Mambulao was changed to Jose Panganiban. In honor of the great hero of Bicolandia, the “avenger of the honor of the Filipinos”, Jose Maria Panganiban Y Enverga.
From 1900 until the early twenties, Mambulao was sleepy town, isolated from the other towns of Camarines Norte.
During the gold bloom, it was dubbed as “Little Manila”, due to flourishing business operated by Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Syrians and many others.
