Vinzons officially the Municipality of Vinzons (Tagalog: Bayan ng Vinzons), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Camarines Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 43,485 people.[3]

The Calaguas Islands is under the jurisdiction of Vinzons.

The first recorded name of Vinzons was Tacboan and was later changed to Indan at which time the Mayor was Pedro Barbin.[5] The town was then renamed "Vinzons" in honor of Wenceslao Q. Vinzons, then Governor of the province.[5] He was the youngest delegate to the 1934 Philippine Constitutional Convention and a guerrilla leader martyred by the Japanese during World War II.

History

[edit]
Government flag

The town was established in 1581 by the Franciscan priests without a patron saint and without a church. In 1611, Fr. Juan de Losar, OFM built a church named after Saint Peter. Fr. Losar was the first Parish Priest of the church. In 1624, the whole town of Tacboan was relocated and it was called Indan where a new church was built with the same Patron Saint, St. Peter the Apostle.[6]

Vinzons has contributed priests and nuns to the Catholic Church more than any other town in the province.[citation needed] The town has also had more provincial elective officials than in any other town in the province.[citation needed] There was a time when all three candidates for governor hailed from Vinzons as when Dominador Asis, Fernando V. Pajarillo, and Wenceslao G. Vinzons, Jr. ran for governor in the elections of 1964. [citation needed] Before that, majority of the provincial governors came from Vinzons: Carlos Balce (1928-1931) Wenceslao Q. Vinzons (1937-1940), Carlos Ascutia (1944-1946), Regino Z. Guinto (1946-1947), Cayetano Vinzons (1958), Dominador Asis (1959-1963), Wenceslao G. Vinzons, Jr. (1964-1968), Fernando V. Pajarillo (who died while in office).[citation needed]

The first Municipal Mayor, Jose "Buding" Tacalan Segundo, has accomplished to finish the three (3) terms. He was the only Municipal Mayor in this town who is from a rural barangay, which is Barangay Sabang. Another Prominent Mayor who served for two terms is Cesar Asis Cereno, who pushed for massive agricultural development in the countryside, particularly seaweeds production, which improved the living conditions of constituents in most fishing villages and island barangays. Mayor Eleanor Ferrer Segundo is the current Municipal Mayor of town (2016–present) and wife of late ex-Mayor Jose "Buding" Tacalan Segundo.
