description
In 1606, the settlement was founded as a barrio of Polangui and was later ceded to Oas in 1665. Finally. Ligao became an independent municipality in 1666. In the latter part of 1998, then Mayor Fernando V. Gonzalez started efforts to convert the Municipality of Ligao into a Component City of the Province of Albay. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo approved Republic Act 9008 on February 21, 2001, after the bill passed through both Houses of Congress. Ligao’s conversion into a City was ratified by a plebiscite on March 24, 2001 with a YES vote of 17,754 as against a NO vote of 1,387. On that same day, the Commission on Elections proclaimed Ligao a Component City of the Province of Albay, making it the sixth city in the Bicol Region.
