COASTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR BRGY. 6A, VICTORIAS CITY

BARANGAY CONTEXT

Not far from the City of Victorias, lay Villa Miranda a 37 hectares urban sitio with
lush green mangrove sanctuary. Only a few houses stood and some inhabitants once
lived there due to no space for building houses because of the mangrove.
Villa Miranda was once of the component sitios of Barangay VI-A, Victorias City,
Negros Occidental the other two are Pinanubol and Estrella Village.
It was believed that the name Villa Miranda was taken after and in honor of the
the late Mr. Restituto “Tiyo Anggo” Miranda Sr. He was once a very diligent and kind
hearted person, the one who persevered and was determined to make improvised and
temporary pathways for his families and for everyone who lived in Villa Miranda.
For the first time in 1972, Victorias Milling Company and used the dredger to
excavate Malihao River which was very shallow at that time. They dug the mud/soil to
deepen and widen the shallow Malihao River so that it would be easier and more
convenient for the company to transport their products to other places. The Victorias
Pure Refined Sugar, the Victorias wash sugar and the Vict. Molasses. Making Malihao
River as their route of way for both entrance and exit, the dredger kept on landfilled Villa
Miranda until the land got higher.
People from different places flocked Villa Miranda upon hearing and knowing that
the place was fit and good enough for inhabitants. There, they were asked by Brgy. VI
Barangay Captain Orlando Limpot to cut down the trees like Pagatpat, Bungalon and
Bakhaw so that they can build their houses and start to live with their families. He was
the Barangay Captain of Brgy. VI from 1972 to 1988. In 1989, Romeo Jacobo became
the Brgy. Captain until 1991.
Barangay Captain Romeo Jacobo led the people of Villa Miranda to separate
from Brgy. VI through a resolution from the Municipal Council and was adapted by
Cong. Kako Lacson. He urged them because according to him Villa Miranda was a big
sitio, it has a primary school with 2 rooms, a chapel, a huge population and it can stand
on its own, and one main reason was that residents of Villa Miranda were clamoring that
Brgy. VI Hall was far from them if and whenever they need to get something from the
barangay.
Villa Miranda then became Barangay VI-A, the daughter barangay of Barangay
VI which was considered as the relocation side for relocated families from the different
parts of Negros Occidental. Its population as determined by the 2020 Census was
6,287. This represented 6.98% of the total population of Victorias City.
At present Punong Barangay Anna Mae B. Claro who took office last July 2,
2018 took an initiative to develop Barangay VI-A into a productive area to help her
constituents alleviate thier living .
