RAYMUNDO ILAGAN “ Tatang ” and “ Inang ” Ma. Trinidad Alisuag
One of the first traders of SANTIAGO ISABELA
from Alitagtag Batangas ( Batangueños)
Commonly known as ‘ Tatang Mundo’ Of Palengke
Raymundo Ilagan and Ma. Trinidad Alisuag were the first couple from Batangas to come and sell their wares in Santiago.
They had no stores or a specific place to sell their goods consisting of blankets, abaca mats and mosquito nets.
They carried this on their shoulders and went around the town to sell them.
After World War 2, they put up a big textile store in the town public market and became one of the most successful businessman to come to Santiago.
