Mayor's Message

Welcome to the
Municipality
of
Oton
, -the 1st
Pueblo
in Panay founded in May 3, 1572 and seat of Christianity in
Western Visayas
. Oton boasts of a rich historical and cultural heritage that dates back to the
time of first Malay settlers in the country. (It was the seat of the
Confederation of Madia-as under Datu Paiburong.)
Today, the Municipality has evolved into a progressive
society where business ventures thrive. Also, with its established subdivisions,
it has become
Iloilo
’s residential haven due to its proximity to the city and geographical
composition. Being a coastal town, our people continue to enjoy the blessings of
the sea-its abundance and inherent capacity for leisure. The farms yield various
agricultural products-rice, watermelons and vegetables.
Last November 28, 2001 Oton was launched as a
Municipality
of
Character
. This program enables Ogtonganons to promote the character qualities which are
the corner stone of a strong, dynamic and progressive society.
Welcome to Oton-the place to be!
