GARCHITORENA ....The Living Paradise
What's the story behind?
According to the 2007 census, it has a population of 24,825 people.
The
original location of Garchitorena is said to be found at the mouth of
the Pambuhan River but it was later transferred to Binanwahan primarily
because of frequent attacks of the Moros.
Soon, a rich man by the
name of Don Andres Garchitorena, who hailed from Tigaon town and owned
in this place a vast portion of the land area, persuaded the townspeople
to plant abaca. He later established an abaca processing plant which
started the establishment of this coastal settlement named after its
founder Don Andres Garchitorena.
Garchitorena was named after its
founder and discoverer, Don Andres Garchitorena. He came from Tigaon.
He was a member of Emilio Aguinaldo's Hong Kong Junta during the Spanish
American War. He became the governor of then Ambos Camarines in 1919.
He is the father of Don Mariano Garchitorena, Secretary of Agriculture
and Commerce and also Governor of Camarines Sur.
