It is known for its long stretch of brownish sand beaches, earning it the title "Summer Capital of Camarines Sur".[5] The municipality has jurisdiction over the 200-m tall Daruanak island, which is the town's unofficial symbol and appears on its official seal.

Pueblo de Pasacao, Ambos Camarines, was formed in 1872, according to records from the Archdiocese of Cáceres.[6]

During the Spanish colonization in the 16th century, Pasacao was one of the embarkation points in Camarines Sur and was the only sea transportation link to Manila. It played a vital role in the development of commerce and trade in the province.[6]


Etymology


The town's name is derived from the Spanish-Tagalog portmanteau Pasa-Ikaw (English: Pass it on). This is because dock guards stationed at the Pasacao Port would regularly issue directions to passengers by shouting "Pasa ikaw, Pasa ikaw." Passengers mistook the phrase for the town's name, Pasacao.[6]


History



Moro piracy


Moro From 1585 to the 19th century, Pasacao served as a crucial defense port against Moro pirate incursions. The continuing Moro piracy, such as the one in Caranan on October 4, 1779, is an example. 10 towns and two missions were entirely destroyed; ten churches were robbed and torched; 8,000 indigenous people were captured or slain; one priest was killed, two were captured; and Caceres, the capital, was placed on high alert one night.[7] In 1823, the town had an estimated population of only 200 people due to frequent attacks.[6]

As defense of Pasacao against these raids, Alcalde Jacinto Rodriguez Morales contributed material for a balwark. He also gave watchmen rations. The fortification of Pasacao in 1848, which included Cabusao in Camarines Sur, Pantao (now Libon), and Donsol in Sorsogon, was motivated by these persistent moro invasions.[6]


Post-colonization


Between 1609 and 1616, during the governor generalship of Juan de Silva, two galleons, the Nuestra Seora de Guadalupe and Angel dela Guardia, were built in Barangay Dalupaon, as well as the Astillero de Dalupaon (English: Dalupaon Shipyard). Guadalupe was vital in the galleon commerce between Manila and Acapulco, as well as the defense of the Philippines against the Dutch at the Battle of Playa Honda.[6]

When World War II broke out on December 8, 1941, Juan Q. Miranda and Elias Madrid, both from Canaman and Leon Sa. Aureus from Libmanan founded the Tangcong Vaca Guerilla Unit [bcl]. It was the province's first big guerilla unit, established on March 18, 1942. The TVGU takes its name from Mount Bernacci, where they set up camp. Miranda commanded 67 men from multiple guerilla squads in a two-and-a-half-hour convoy ambush near Taguild, Pamplona, on November 8, 1942. Colonel Susumo Takechi (the Japanese commander in Naga), two captains, two lieutenants, and 168 to 200 enlisted men were all slain.[8] Other significant historical events that occurred in the Pasacao left their imprint. When the Japanese ships docked at the Pasacao Pier, it was bombed. Until today, some Japanese ships have been visible in clear waters.[6]

In 1945, American Taylorcraft L-2 Grasshopper planes landed in Tinalmud, bringing The Six Daughters of Charity to the Pasacao seashore to establish Naga City's first regular girls' school, Universidad de Santa Isabel.[6]
