| General Note |
- General note - Estancia, one of the four coastal towns along the northern shore of Iloilo province which faces the Visayan Sea, is the fishing center of the province where most of the fish sold in Iloilo markets come from. In fact, before and shortly after World War II, it was known as "Alaska of the Philippines" due to the large volume of mackarels, herring and sardines sold there. It started as a rest station for Capiz fishermen during the peak season. Most of the residents are from Leyte and Samar. Estancia, nestling snugly along the foothils, formerly belonged to the district of Concepcion. Its topography of rolling hills and vast forage areas give credence to the belief that it was once the estancia (ranch) owned by an encomendero named Jose Antonio Pabon.
