3. (a) Date of establishment - 1570
The town of Lilio was founded by Gat Tayaw in 1570. After the founding of the town, Tayaw and his men decided to erect a bamboo pole in the middle of the town and watched the bird that would be the first to alight on its top. On the seventh day of constant and patient watching and waiting, a beautiful bird alighted on its top and sang, "Iliw, iliw, iliw!" The eldest among them shouted, "That is iliw-iliw." Hence, the town was named Liliw or Lilio, derived from the bird iliw-iliw, meaning "maaliw" or happy.
(b) Name and social position of the founder:
4. Name of persons who held leading official positions in the community:
Gat Tayaw, the founder of Lilio, was one of the sons of Gat Tapiya. He ruled the town after its establishment for about 54 years. He was married and his eldest son, Masulong, was the first to be baptized and converted into Catholicism. Masulong was baptized by Fr. Martin Herrada. His godfather was Don Juan Banliol, a Spaniard, and the name given to him was Don Juan Masulong.
To facilitate the administration of the government, Gat Tayaw divided the town into four barangays, namely: Ilaya or Suñgi under the leadership of Barsalan; Oples under the administration of Mandig; Liliw Pequeño under Bansala-Rumanda; and Liliw Grande under the leadership of Masulong, the eldest son of Gat Tayaw.
