'''Alicia''', officially the '''Municipality of Alicia''' ({{langx|ilo|Ili ti Alicia}}; {{langx|tl|Bayan ng Alicia}}; formerly known as '''Angadanan Viejo'''), is a [[municipality of the Philippines|municipality]] in the [[Philippine Province|province]] of [[Isabela (province)|Isabela]], [[Philippines]]. According to the {{PH wikidata|population_as_of}}, it has a population of {{PH wikidata|population_total}} people.{{PH wikidata|population_reference}}

It is known for the ''Pagay Festival Balitok Ti Alicia'' and its famous historical landmark, the [[Our Lady of Atocha]] Church completed and inaugurated in 1849 which was officially declared by the [[Department of Tourism (Philippines)|Philippine Department of Tourism]] as a national religious [[tourist destination]] in the Philippines.

==Etymology== When [[Philippine President|President]] [[Elpidio Quirino]] signed Executive Order No. 268 on 28 September 1949, Old Angadanan was formally created and renamed Alicia after his late wife, Doña [[Alicia Syquía Quirino]]. Along with three of their children (except Tomás, a soldier, and [[Victoria Quirino-Gonzalez|Victoria]], who later became [[First Spouse of the Philippines|First Lady]] for her father), Doña Alicia was one of many civilians massacred by [[Japanese occupation of the Philippines|Japanese occupiers]] on 9 February 1945 during the [[Battle of Manila (1945)|Battle of Manila]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wowphilippines.com.ph/explore_phil/place_details.asp?content=thingstodo&province=6|title = Isabela History| accessdate =19 January 2008|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20090828150557/http://www.wowphilippines.com.ph/explore_phil/place_details.asp?content=thingstodo&province=6 |archivedate=28 August 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

==History== Alicia was the second site of the town of Angadanan, which was initially founded in the mid-18th century as a settlement in present-day Nueva Vizcaya, between the towns of [[Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya|Bagabag]] and [[Bayombong]]. The town took its name from the nearby Angaranan Creek. In 1776, the Spaniards decided to move the settlement further north to Alicia's present location along the Ganano river, a tributary of the [[Cagayan River]]. In the 19th century, the Spaniards decided to move Angadanan again six kilometers further east along the Cagayan River to facilitate better transportation links and to secure the town from repeated raids by the Igorots and Gaddangs. The second site was subsequently known as Angadanan Viejo (Old Angadanan) to distinguish it from its third site called Angadanan Nuevo (New Angadanan), to which the former was a part of until Angadanan Viejo was converted into the separate municipality of Alicia in 1949. Part of the reason for the separation was that Alicia lay alongside the national highway network, which led to a more flourishing economy than its mother settlement.<ref>{{cite book |last=Salgado|first=Pedro|title=Cagayan Valley and Easter Cordillera: 1581-1898, Volume I |publisher=Rex Publishing |orig-date=2002|pages=551–557|chapter=Formation of Christian Towns in Diffun (Southern Isabela)|isbn=}}</ref>

Both the second and third Angadanans were part of the [[Cagayan Valley]] province. The entire Cagayan Valley was one large province which the [[Spaniard]]s called ''La Provincia del Valle de Cagayan'', but divided into two new provinces in 1839 by the [[Spanish conquistador]]s. One retained the old name [[Cagayan]] which comprised all towns from [[Aparri]] to [[Tumauini]]; while a new province of [[Nueva Vizcaya]] was created composed of all towns from [[Ilagan, Isabela|Ilagan]] to the Caraballo del Sur.<ref name="flyphilippines1">{{cite web| url = http://www.flyphilippines.com.ph/isabela/info.html| title = Isabela Travel Information| accessdate =16 January 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100103132144/http://www.flyphilippines.com.ph/isabela/info.html| archivedate= 3 January 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref>

A [[Royal Decree]] was created on 1 May 1856 creating [[Isabela de Luzon]] to distinguish it from other Isabelas in the Philippines, to which both Angadanans were added. It was placed under the jurisdiction of a governor with the capital seat at [[Ilagan]], where it remains at the present.<ref name="flyphilippines1"/>

==Geography== Alicia has a total land area of 15,410 hectares. 71% of the total land area is an [[agricultural land]] which makes Alicia primarily an agricultural municipality best suited for the intensive production of rice and corn. Farming is its major livelihood and rice its major product and resource.

The municipality is located in an area of predominantly flat and [[fertile soil|fertile land]] in the [[Cagayan Valley]] that is surrounded by the [[Caraballo Mountains]] to the south, the [[Sierra Madre (Philippines)|Great Sierra Madre]] to the east, and the [[Cordillera Central (Luzon)|Cordillera Mountain Range]] to the west. It is the largest rice producer in the entire Cagayan Valley and has the largest irrigated [[rice field]] in the whole [[Regions of the Philippines|Region II]] of the Philippines.

Alicia is {{convert|53.25|km}} from the provincial capital [[Ilagan]] and {{convert|383.62|km}} from the capital [[Manila]].

===Barangays=== Alicia is politically subdivided into 34 [[barangay]]s.{{PSGC detail|area}} Each barangay consists of [[purok]]s while some have [[sitios]].

The structure of the church was original built by the [[Spaniard]]s in the 18th century, but not finished. Passing by Angadanan town on 12 February 1805, Fr. Manuel Mora, OP wrote that "Angadanan has a convent of bricks, though not totally finished. Its church is timber, wood, and bamboo. The number of inhabitants is 791." The church and convent as seen today in the town of Alicia, beautiful and antique, was built by Fr. Tomas Calderon, OP and inaugurated in 1849, with Fr. Francisco Gainza, OP, then vicar of Carig (now [[Santiago, Isabela|Santiago City]]). The church was dedicated to the [[Nuestra Señora de Atocha]], more popularly known today as [[Our Lady of Atocha]]. The church is known for its antique Castilian architectural design and can be found along the [[Maharlika Highway]] and is accessible by land transport.<ref name="flyphilippines1"/><ref>{{cite web|last=Rumpon |first=Danijay |title=Province of Isabela Tourists Attractions and Destinations |url=http://www.dotregion2.com.ph/d2/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=66&Itemid=78 |work=Cagayan Valley Region |publisher=dotregion2.com.ph |accessdate=17 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111216150453/http://www.dotregion2.com.ph/d2/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=66&Itemid=78 |archivedate=16 December 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Tourists Attractions|url=http://www.visitmyphilippines.com/index.php?title=Isabela&func=all&pid=1020&tbl=0|work=MyPhilippines.com The Ultimate Travel Guide for Tourists|publisher=[[Department of Tourism (Philippines)]]|accessdate=17 June 2011}}</ref>
