| General Note |
- General note - The southeastern coast of Panay, notably that which borders the districts of Molo and Arevalo, figures prominently in the history of the province''s early contacts with the Europeans. In 1588, Sir Thomas Cavendish-British adventurer and third circumnavigator of the world-attacks the Arevalo shipyard where the galleon "Santiago" was being built after he had earlier plundered and sunk the "Santa Ana" off southern California. This makes Arevalo the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines to be attacked by the British. On this coast, too, the Dutch landed unoppose on October 12, 1614, after the alcalde mayor Antonio Jarez de Montero, had deserted his Spanish-Visayan troops and fled inland The Dutch invaders burned practically the whole town including the Augustinian convent. The Muslims too came to attack. In 1599 the Maguindanaos led by Datus Sali am Sirongan (Silonga) raided the place but were repulsed by Juan Garcia de Sierra who died during the skirmish. Molo, on the other hand, was a part of Arevalo and the town''s Chinese quarters. As in pre-Hispanic times, the people of the island had extensive trade with the Chinese during the Spanish regime, and Arevalo, for nearly a century (late 16th to 17th centuries), was its busy sea port and textile emporium. Governor Gonzalo Ronquillo de Peñalosa built a pariancillo for the Chinese traders. Photo was taken from the Bala-an bukid; imposing structure seen at the middle is the Gothic church of molo.
