In 1886, Adriano Noircio, uncle of Antonio Luna, schemed to overthrow the Spanish yoke, but failed to succeed.

b. During the American Occupation:

In November 1900, the Americans came to the town and transformed Tayug into one marked with happiness, peace, and freedom.

In 1901, the first Filipino teacher, Cinon Garcia, began to hold classes under the convent.

The Colorum Uprising on January 11, 1931:

The uprising was led by Pedro Galosa, a man of "anting-anting" who mysteriously freed his hands from handcuffs when captured.

He organized his group called Colorum with strict, fanatical religious teachings. He preached principles akin to communism and he revealed his intentions of seizing all haciendas around Tayug and that these were to be divided among his followers. To accomplish his desire, the authorities had to be mopped out. So, it was decided to attack the constabulary stationed at Tayug, then the municipal officials to be replaced by them, establishing the government of their man; a sort of kingdom with Galosa as supreme head. For three years, they waited and planned until early on January 5, 1931, Galosa gathered his men at barrio Legaspi, Tayug. After distributing to each one an anting-anting, he declared that it was time to strike. On January 11, 1931, at 12 o'clock, they marched without fanfare arrayed in war regalia and armed

Tayug was the worst hit by the last war. Dust, ashes, and rubbles are the remnants of heavy air attacks which Tayug experienced. On January 31, 1945, the first elements of the United States 25^th Division liberated Tayug, the war capital of the province. Among those devastated were the municipal building, elementary school building, the municipal market, and the Roman Catholic church and convent. Out of the government aid, Tayug gradually rehabilitated itself. Buildings once again stood at the heart of the poblacion. The botanical plaza was once more planted with ornamental plants.

a. The [unreadable] of "anglen" burned cloth near the place of the baby and the mother to drive away devils. Putting camachili branches with leaves under the house beneath the bed of the baby and mother also drives away devils.

b. The sponsors, "compadre and comadre," for the child to be baptized may be made either by "tani" choice of the parents of the child. The sponsors give a certain amount of money (papetpet) to their godchild just after the baptism. A party is usually given in the home of the parents of the child.

c. Parental agreement is made by both parties to have their children marry. The man stays in the house of the girl until they are satisfied with his attitude toward the family. If the parents of the girl are satisfied, then the marriage will continue; but if they disagree, they just drive away the man.

d. When the couple arrives from the church just after the marriage

e. Death is the most lamentable concern of the family. A dream that a tooth of the dreamer has been removed foretells death in the family or in the nearest kin.

When a person in the family dies during the night, it forecasts hardship on those left behind.

f. Those who attend a funeral, after coming home from the cemetery, should go to the house of the deceased and wash their faces and hands with warm water and vinegar or wine prepared for the purpose.

The day following the burial, the bereaved family, with friends, go to the nearest brook or river to take a bath, "golgol." After coming home, they eat boiled bananas, "dip-pig," without leaving anything. The "lompos" is preceded by nine days of prayer.

g. A cat in the house washing its face near a door or the stairway foretells a visitor coming. When a house lizard makes noise near a doorway, this foretells a visitor coming.

h. During the festival in the community, everyone must prepare something for the visitors who may come to the house. Confirmation in the church is usually done during town fiestas.

i. All persons suspected of a crime are made to dip their hands in boiling water. Whoever removes his hands first is the guilty one.

Anyone who is found guilty is submerged in water until he is almost unconscious. This is done to make him tell the truth.

a. Sneezing when one goes down [the stairs of a house] foretells bad luck to him in the journey he is making. Meeting a man along the way or seeing a snake foretells

Red skies foretell approaching windy weather.

The dim appearance of the sun in the morning and a cloudy setting foretells bad weather.

The appearance of many stars is a good sign for planting, especially in the months of May to September. The same is true in business.

An earthquake felt during the day foretells late rainy days.
