Establishment:
Pasuquin, like other towns has it's own origin. Although its date of
foundation was not well defined, available records
show that the place was
established as early as 1674 by the Augustinian Fathers.
It is interesting to note how the town was called Pasuquin. In the
early 17th century, a Spanish and a church was erected in Bacarra and
later Augustinian Fathers constructed and established a "Visita"
of the church in the sitio, now called Pasuquin.

One of the fiercest battles
was made when the (people from other lands accross the sea like Chinese)

it"Pa-asoken", to the present "PASUQUIN". |
