History
In 1914, Governor General Charles Yeater declared Pantukan a Municipal District. Sangui, a Mansaka, was appointed president. A year after, he was replaced by Bancas Mansaka. On 13 November 1936, President Manuel L. Quezon declared it a regular municipality, therefore becoming the oldest local government unit in ComVal province. Teodoro Fuentes was appointed its first Alkalde. Juan Caballero Sr. was its first elected Mayor. From then up to the present, the elected mayors were: Graciano Arafol (1952-1959), Diosdado Basanez (1960-1963), Celso Sarenas (1964-) with Juan Caballero, Jr. as OIC (1986-1987), Jovito Derla (1988-1992), Juan Caballero, Jr. (1992-1995), Jovita Derla (1995-2004), Tok Sarenas (2004-2013), and Roberto Yugo (2013-).[4]
