== History ==
== History ==
⚫
The name ''Barotac'' is from the Spanish word ''baro'', which means ''mud'', as well as the last syllables of ''tac'' and ''lutac''. With ''nuevo'', translated as ''new'', added to the name, it distinguished it from another town called [[Barotac Viejo]] just north.


According to local folklore, Barotac Nuevo was famous for its well-bred [[horse]]s. There was once a horse called Tamasak, a pure white stallion known for its strength, in the stead of one Don Simon, and who was offered much if he could sell it to [[Manuel Gonzales de Aguilar]], the Governor General of the country at that time. Don Simon eventually sold Tamasak. But not for money, but for title, and separation from the town of Dumangas, which it was just a smaller section thereof. The barrio once known as ''Mulatac'' now stands the town of Barotac Nuevo.
According to local folklore, the barrio of Malutac in [[Dumangas]] was famous for its well-bred horses. There was once a horse called Tamasak, a pure white stallion in the stead of one Don Simon Protacio. Don Protacio was offered to sell the horse to Manuel Gonzales de Aguilar, the [[Governor-General of the Philippines|governor-general of the Philippines]] at that time whose white horse previously died. Don Protacio adamantly refused to sell his horse which led to Gonzales de Aguilar personally visiting Don Protacio's compound in order to persuade him to do so. After a long negotiation, they came to a truce wherein Tamasak will be given to the governor-general in exchange for Malutac to be made into a town. When the barrio was eventually separated from Dumangas and became a town, it was renamed into Barotac Nuevo.

Barotac Nuevo, officially the Municipality of Barotac Nuevo (Hiligaynon: Banwa sang Barotac Nuevo, Tagalog: Bayan ng Barotac Nuevo), is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Iloilo, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 58,176 people.[3]

The town is officially known as the Football Capital of the Philippines.[5]

History[edit]

According to local folklore, the barrio of Malutac in Dumangas was famous for its well-bred horses. There was once a horse called Tamasak, a pure white stallion in the stead of one Don Simon Protacio. Don Protacio was offered to sell the horse to Manuel Gonzales de Aguilar, the governor-general of the Philippines at that time whose white horse previously died. Don Protacio adamantly refused to sell his horse which led to Gonzales de Aguilar personally visiting Don Protacio's compound in order to persuade him to do so. After a long negotiation, they came to a truce wherein Tamasak will be given to the governor-general in exchange for Malutac to be made into a town. When the barrio was eventually separated from Dumangas and became a town, it was renamed into Barotac Nuevo.

The name "Barotac" is from the Spanish word "baro", which means mud, as well as the second syllables of the Hiligaynon word, "lutac" which also means mud. "Nuevo", which translates to new, was added to the name to distinguish it from another town called Barotac Viejo located just north.

Barotac Nuevo is a small town whose main industry and capital are in fishing and agriculture. The town church was built by Spanish Roman Catholic missionaries in the 16th century.

Geography[edit]

The town is 31 kilometres (19 mi) from the provincial capital of Iloilo City. The town is bordered by Pototan to the west, Dingle to the north-west, Anilao to the north-east, and Dumangas to the south.
