You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Pasacao''', officially the '''Municipality of Pasacao''' (((lang-bcl|Banwaan kan Pasacao)); ((lang-tl|Bayan ng Pasacao))), is a 2nd class [[municipality of the Philippines|municipality]] in the [[Philippine Province|province]] of [[Camarines Sur]], [[Philippines]]. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 53,461 people.((PH census|current))

It is famed for its stretch of brownish sand beaches, earning it the title "Summer Capital of Camarines Sur".<ref>((Cite web |last=Barrameda |first=Shiena M. |date=2013-06-12 |title=Saving Pasacao as summer capital |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/425317/saving-pasacao-as-summer-capital |access-date=2022-05-15 |website=INQUIRER.net |language=en))</ref> The municipality's landmarks include the town's symbol, Daruanak Island, and the Port of Pasacao.

During the [[Spanish Colonization in the Philippines|Spanish colonization]] in the 16th century, Pasacao was one of the embarkation points in [[Camarines Sur]] and was the only sea transportation link to Manila. It played a vital role in the development of commerce and trade in the province.<ref name=":0" />

The town was formed in 1872, according to records from the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cáceres|Archdiocese of Cáceres]].<ref name=":0" />

==Etymology==
The town's name is derived from the [[Spanish language|Spanish]]-[[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] [[portmanteau]] ''Pasa-Ikaw'' ([[English language|English]]: Pass it on)''.'' This is because dock guards stationed at the Pasacao Port would regularly issue directions to passengers by shouting "''Pasa ikaw, Pasa ikaw.''" Passengers mistook the phrase for the town's name, Pasacao.<ref name=":0" />

==History==
=== Spanish colonization===
From 1585 to the 19th century, Pasacao served as a crucial defense port against Moro pirate incursions. The raid in Caranan on October 4, 1779, is an example. Pasacao and 9 other towns and two missions were entirely destroyed; ten churches were robbed and torched; 8,000 residents were captured or slain; one priest was killed, two were captured; and [[Naga, Camarines Sur|Caceres]], the capital, was placed on high alert one night.<ref>((Cite book |last=Abella |first=Domingo |title=((ill|Bikol annals: A Collection of Vignettes of Philippine History.|bcl|Bikol Annals)) |year=1954 |location=[[Manila]]))</ref> In 1823, the town had an estimated population of only 200 people due to frequent attacks.<ref name=":0" />

To defend Pasacao against these raids, Alcalde Jacinto Rodriguez Morales contributed material for a balwark. He also gave watchmen rations. The fortification of Pasacao in 1848, which included [[Cabusao]] in Camarines Sur, Pantao (now [[Libon, Albay|Libon]]), and [[Donsol]] in [[Sorsogon]], was motivated by these attacks.<ref name=":0" />

Between 1609 and 1616, during the governor generalship of [[Juan de Silva]], two galleons, the Nuestra Seora de Guadalupe and Angel dela Guardia, were built in Barangay Dalupaon, as well as the ''Astillero de Dalupaon'' (English: Dalupaon Shipyard). Guadalupe was vital in the [[Manila galleon|galleon commerce between Manila and Acapulco]], as well as the defense of the Philippines against the Dutch at the [[Battle of Playa Honda]].<ref name=":0">((Cite web |title=History of Pasacao ((!)) LGU Pasacao Official Website |url=https://pasacao.gov.ph/|access-date=2022-05-13 |language=en-US))</ref>

=== Japanese occupation ===
When World War II broke out on December 8, 1941, Juan Q. Miranda and Elias Madrid, both from [[Canaman]] and Leon Sa. Aureus from [[Libmanan]] founded the ((Interlanguage link|Tangcong Vaca Guerilla Unit|bcl)). It was the province's first big guerilla unit, established on March 18, 1942. The TVGU took its name from [[Mount Bernacci]], where they set up camp. Miranda commanded 67 men from multiple guerrilla squads in a two-and-a-half-hour convoy ambush near Taguild, [[Pamplona, Camarines Sur|Pamplona]], on November 8, 1942. Colonel Susumo Takechi (the Japanese commander in Naga), two captains, two lieutenants, and 168 to 200 enlisted men were killed.<ref>((Cite book |title=Barrameda |pages=43–44))</ref> Other significant historical events in Pasacao also left their mark. When the Japanese ships docked at Pasacao Pier, it was bombed. Until today, some Japanese ships have been visible in clear waters.<ref name=":0" />

The Six [[Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul|Daughters of Charity]] landed on Pasacao's shore to establish Naga City's first regular girls' school, [[Universidad de Sta. Isabel|Universidad de Santa Isabel]].<ref name=":0" />
