Angono



·
Angono is politically subdivided into 10 barangays namely Bagumbayan, Kalayaan, Poblacion Ibaba, Poblacion Itaas, San Isidro, San Pedro, San Roque, San Vicente, Santo Nino and Mahabang Parang.
·
Two painters were also active during the Spanish colonial period: Pedro PiÒon and Juan Senson, the grand old man of art in Angono, who lived in the 19th Century.
·
Carlos “Botong” Francisco and Lucio San Pedro share the same death anniversary on March 31. Botong died in 1969 and Maestro Lucio in 2002.
·
Jose V. Blanco is the patriarch of an entire family of painters. His works and those of his wife, Loring, and sons are frequently displayed in world expositions in Europe and the United States of America.
·
Angono’s heritage of painting is impressive, but the townspeople express their creativity in so many other ways-in creative pieces used in everyday life and in times of celebration.
·
The ‘titiris’ is a weather vane once a common fixture of Angono houses and now quite rare. It usually consists of wooden figures of a Spaniard and a Moro fighting of a Spaniard and a Moro fighting each other with large flat swords which turn with the wind.
