    History of the M.

    History of the Municipality of Dagam

    Dagami, an inland settlement south of Carigara, produced an

    abundance of rice so that it made for a steady supply, thus making it in colonial times an

    important settlement.

    As early as this 1565 it is reported that Fray Mateo Sánchez de Plasencia, an Augustinian, wrote

    a Visayan grammar in Dagami. However, the evangelization of the settlement awaited a more

    settled presence of the missionaries.

    Dagami was one of the early mission stations established by the Jesuits on Leyte island in 1595.

    However, Putong claims that the mission was established in 1600, when the Jesuits built a

    church of wood under the advocacy of St. Joseph.

    In 1655, Dagami was raised to the status of residence until a fire destroyed the parochial house,

    after which the residence was transferred to Palo. The residence built through the generous

    benefaction of Gov. Sabiniano Manrique de Lara was the most beautiful of parochial residences

    in Leyte.

    According to Braganza, Dagami was raised to parish status in 1737. and in 1768 was ceded to

    the Augustinians with the departure of the Jesuits but they did not arrive until 1799. Then in
    1843, The Augustinians officially ceded Dagami to the Franciscans although no Franciscan took

    charge of Dagami until September 1847.

    Huerta attributes the Dagami church, a structure of stone and brick, to the Jesuits. During the

    19th century, the church must have been in good repair because there are no notices of major

    renovations. The church was utterly destroyed during the Second World War, and whatever was

    saved was destroyed in a devastating fire that ruined most of the town in the 1970s.
