    HISTORY OF TARLAC

    Tarlac's name is a Hispanized derivation from a talahib weed called Malatarlak. Tarlac
    was originally divided into two parts: the southern division belonging
    to Pampanga and the northern division belonging to Pangasinan. It was the last
    province in Central Luzon to be organized under the Spanish colonial administration
    in 1874.
    During the Philippine Revolution of 1896, Tarlac was among the first eight provinces
    to rise against Spain, alongside neighbouring Pampanga. It became the new seat of
    the first Philippine Republic in March 1899 when General Emilio
    Aguinaldo abandoned the former capital, Malolos, Bulacan. This lasted only for a
    month before the seat was moved to Nueva Ecija in Aguinaldo's attempt to elude the
    pursuing Americans.
    On October 23, 1899, Gregorio Aglipay, military vicar general of the revolutionary
    forces, called the Filipino clergy to a conference in Paniqui. There, they drafted the
    constitution of the Philippine Independent Church. They called for the Filipinization of
    the clergy, which eventually led to a separation from the Roman Catholic Church in
    the Philippines.
    Tarlac was captured by American forces on November 1899. A civil government was
    established in the province in 1901.
    During World War II, Camp O'Donnell in Capas became the terminal point of the
    infamous Bataan Death March of Filipino and American soldiers who surrendered
    at Bataan on April 9, 1942. Many prisoners died of hunger, disease and/or execution.
    The general headquarters of the Philippine Commonwealth Army was established
    from January 03, 1942 to June 30, 1946 and the 3rd Constabulary Regiment of
    the Philippine Constabulary was founding again from October 28, 1944 to June 30,
    1946 and military stationed in the province of Tarlac and some parts in Central Luzon
    due to Japanese Occupation.Local troops of the Philippine Commonwealth Army units
    has sending the clearing military operations in the province of Tarlac and Central
    Luzon from 1942 to 1945 and aided them by the recognized guerrilla groups
    including Hukbalahap Communist fighters and attacking Japanese Imperial
    forces.But in the aftermath, some local guerrilla resistance fighters and Hukbahalap
    groups are became retreating Imperial Japanese troops around the province and
    before the liberation from the Allied forces.
    In early 1945, combined American and Filipino military forces with the recognized
    Aringay Command guerillas liberated Camp O'Donnell. The raid in Capas resulted in
    the rescue of American, Filipino and other allied Prisoners of War.
    From January 20, 1945 to August 15, 1945, Tarlac was recaptured by combined
    Filipino and American troops together with the recognized guerrilla fighters against
    the Japanese Imperial forces during the liberation and beginning for the Battle of
    Tarlac under the Luzon Campaign.
