However, due to its hilly terrain and poor water supply, they decided to move nearer the bank of the Suage River, now called Pototan.In 1874, Pototanons began to run their own political affairs with the appointment of Don Juan Marcelo as the first Capitan Municipal.The remaining Spanish population fled to the hills together with many Filipinos including the last Gobernadorcillio, Don Maurilio Mendoza.President Maurillo Mendoza, the Pototanons again witnessed another unforgettable event: the burning of the entire half of the poblacion in November 1914.Considered the rice granary of Panay, the town is bordered by Dingle to the north, Zarraga to the south, Barotac Nuevo to the east, New Lucena and Mina to the west.[12] Poverty incidence of Pototan Source: Philippine Statistics Authority[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] In 1893, the Maura Law was passed to reorganize town governments with the aim of making them more effective and autonomous.
