+ April 06, 2021 THE historic role of early missionaries as agents of spiritual and social change in Negros, according to historians, began in 1572 when the town of Binalbagan was made the first mission under the Agustinian Order. A similar mission was also created along the Bago River in 1575. As was typical, the missionaries first attracted the local leaders knowing that their authority would motivate the rest of the inhabitants. In some cases, the local privileges and the fear of Moro pirates made the natives cooperate with the missionaries.
In a report by historian Miguel de Loarca, Negros was described in 1582 as already engaged in commercial trading with nearby Panay Island and other areas as far as Luzon. The small population of natives was distributed mainly on the south east stretching from the settlement of Ilog in the south and Saravia in the north.
