BINENG SAYANGAN ST.

BENGUET
Historical
During the pre-Spanish times, Bineng was covered with thick lush forest where
wild animals roamed around. It is unknown if there were any settlements in the area.
It was originally part of the Municipality of Disdis, what is known today as Sablan.
During the Spanish period, the peopling of the area was due to the out-
migration movement from the valley area of La Trinidad. The migration picture of the
Spanish was of forced labor, cruelty and exorbitant taxation. These led many to go
into hiding by moving towards the adjoining areas of Bineng, Beckel, Wamgal and
Shilan.
The Spaniards appointed “Capitanes” or “Capitanes de Barangay” to join their
rank and file. Among those appointed was Saroyo who held the position at Bineng.
Saroyo, along with the others acted as liaison officers of the Spanish authorities to
the local residents.
During the American period, Bineng produced Baldomero Namoro as Municipal
District President of L a Trinidad for two terms in 1918-1919 to 1919-1920.
Some of the people of Bineng were able to enroll at the La Trinidad Farm
School that was established in 1916 at the Balili area. Mr. James A. Wright was
teacher and Mr. Harold was school principal. In 1924, a student demonstration
occurred. Apparently, the children of the farmers were required to use short pants
and short-sleeved shirts while the others would use long pants and long sleeved
shirts. This apparent discrimination led the students like Bado Dangwa and Tomas
Namoro to demonstrate against the school administration. After this, some students
stopped attending school.
The declaration of all public and idle lands for school reservations for the La
Trinidad Farm School in the 1920’s led to the displacement of residents staying in the
valley area. This bought them to outlaying areas such as Bineng.
