Friar Francisco de Otazo, S.J., who arrived in the Philippines in 1596, founded the Catbalogan Mission and was thus the first missionary to bring the Catholic faith to the people of Catbalogan. </p><p>In 1627, Catbalogan was raised to the status of <i>residencia</i> (residence or central house) and among its dependencies were <a href="/wiki/Paranas,_Samar" class="mw-redirect" title="Paranas, Samar">Paranas</a> where, in 1629, Fr. Pedro Estrada actively evangelized the area and Calbiga where he took whiterocks or grey limestone to use as building blocks for its church. The church has some arc-like stone roof that was pasted together to dry on each block, giving an arching force to the side. On October 17, 1768, Catbalogan was ceded to the <a href="/wiki/Franciscan" class="mw-redirect" title="Franciscan">Franciscans</a> who took over from the <a href="/wiki/Jesuit" class="mw-redirect" title="Jesuit">Jesuits</a>.

The union, however, did not prove satisfactory. In 1768, Catbalogan became the provincial capital when Samar separated from Leyte and became an independent province. Paranas (with Calbiga) was then separated from Catbalogan as an independent town. In 1882, Jiabong (with Motiong) separated from Catbalogan as an independent town. </p><p>On December 31, 1898, during the Philippine Revolution, Gen. Vicente Lukban arrived in Catbalogan and put Samar under his jurisdiction. </p><p>On January 27, 1900, the Americans captured Catbalogan during the <a href="/wiki/Philippine%E2%80%93American_War" title="Philippine–American War">Philippine–American War</a> (1899–1902).

The April 1, 1957 conflagration, considered as the most destructive one, caused damage to properties in the amount of thirty million pesos. The next was on May 19, 1969, where damage was estimated at twenty million pesos and the more than century-old Saint Bartholomew Roman Catholic Church was razed to the ground. Paradoxically, like the proverbial <a href="/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)" title="Phoenix (mythology)">Phoenix</a>, each time Catbalogan suffered under the throes of these calamities, better buildings and infrastructures emerged from the ashes. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cityhood">Cityhood</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Catbalogan&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cityhood"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Cities_of_the_Philippines" title="Cities of the Philippines">Cities of the Philippines</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">For further information, see <a href="/wiki/League_of_Cities_of_the_Philippines_v._COMELEC" title="League of Cities of the Philippines v.

The bill was being deliberated in the <a href="/wiki/Philippine_Senate" class="mw-redirect" title="Philippine Senate">Philippine Senate</a>, but the blaze of 1969 caused it to be shelved. Subsequent efforts were made by Catbalogan political leaders, including former Representative Catalino V.

Under the sponsorship of Senator <a href="/wiki/Alfredo_S._Lim" class="mw-redirect" title="Alfredo S. Lim">Alfredo S.
