Brieft History of Pasuquin
As early as the 17th century the municipality was known as PA-ASOKEN. The name PA-ASOKEN as derived from a local dialect “pa-asok” which literally means kindling a fire to produce a smoke. The smoke was kindled on a hill called Sentinella, where the watchman monitored if there were invading ships coming from the South China Sea, to warn the settlers. Upon seeing the smoke, the settlers below the hill would assemble for war and meet the coming invaders, whether they were Chinese, Tirongs, Ibaliws, etc. at the shores of the West Philippine Sea. The Frailes and Spanish Conquistadors then named the area with the growing community “PA-ASOKEN” which later transformed into “PASUQUIN.”
