SAN ISIDRO
San Isidro was a premier barangay or barrio before the outbreak of the Second World War encompassing Malilion ,Bensican and Salpad with a total land area of 543 hectares.
However, with the creation of PACD in the 60’s other barangays were organized to accelerate the impending development in the countryside .Reduced to merely 85-90 hectares in area, San Isidro has only 3 sitios now, Nagcoralan, Sta. Crusan and San Juan with a population of 728 based in the latest census .
The development of the barangay takes us back to the pioneers from Ilocos in 1920 that came to settle in this barangay like the Laureta, Serquiña, Martinez and Lucas clans. San Isidro was originally sited from where Barangay Malilion was found today. It is believed that when the original settlers of Malilion, which was then still a part of San Isidro, founded and built a school building on a vacant lot on the north portion of the barrio they brought with them the sign board of their school that carried the name SAN ISIDRO, but due to scores of troubles that arose from the transfer of the school, they decided to reopen and brought back the school to its original site in Malilion. However, they only succeeded in bringing back their school to its former setting, leaving behind the name of their Barrio to the place what is now called Barangay San Isidro.
As its name signifies, this barangay is named after San Isidro de Labrador, the patron saint of farmers and agriculture. Up to this time the belief in the powers of intercessory prayers of their patron saint working wonders for the welfare of the people is very much alive.
Farming became the major source of livelihood of the people. Their farm produced includes palay, corn and vegetables.
