Santo Domingo, Albay

It became a separate Municipality in 1749 through the uproar of its inhabitants and under the leadership of Diego Castellanos who took the matter first to the authorities in Manila, and to the Bishop of Ambos Camarines.Later when the time came to classify and arrange this settlement to give it a political status as a visita of Binanuahan, now Legazpi Port, the corruption crept in – Libog for Libot.In 1816, one hundred fifty-nine (159) Moro pirates and six (6) vintas attacked the town, taking them one captive, Juan de la Conception, who was able to return after 30 years.Poverty incidence of Santo Domingo Source: Philippine Statistics Authority[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Potenciano Gregorio, Sr., a famous Bicolano composer and musician was born in the town on May 19, 1880.Resorts along the Santo Domingo coastline offer a wonderful view of the black[clarification needed] beach, Albay Gulf and a part of the Legazpi City area.Found along the shores of Buhatan beach at Santo Domingo, this galleon relic was wrought by a strong typhoon on its way to Acapulco and crushed on the reefs of Albay Gulf.
