It is said that when some Spaniard wanted to know the name of the trees, they asked a native saying, “COMO SE LLAMA EL GRANDE LENIA? SABES TU? The native not knowing what the Spaniards said, picked the last word he heard and answered “TUMAUINI”. In 1952, the barrios of Barucbuc, Siempre Viva, Bimmonton, Pasurgong, Manga, and Settlement No. 1 were transferred to the newly-created town of [[Mallig, Isabela|Mallig]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lawph.com/statutes/ra678.html|title=R.A.

It is located at the eastern outskirts of the Spanish – built town of [[Tumauini]], Isabela. A 23.50 – hectare of elevated mass of rolling hills 500 feet above sea level. It is endowed with natural spring, evergreen grasses, trees and shrubs. It overlooks the mighty [[Cagayan River]], the [[Pinacanauan River]], the town of [[Tumauini]] itself, the municipality of [[Delfin Albano]], and the [[Sierra Mountain ranges]]. Its name was derived from the first syllable of the surnames of the spouses, Ricardo C. Sadornas and Purificacion Malana who donated the camp to the Boy Scout of the Philippines in 1954. After the holding of the [[1977 National Jamboree]], the camp slept for 26 years until the assumption of Honorable Arnold S. Bautista in July 2001 as Municipal Mayor, who drew out the support of the government and private sectors for its restoration and development. It is still the favorite destination of the Boy Scout and Girl Scouts of the Philippines for their annual district and provincial encampments. It hosted another big event which is the 5th Northeastern Luzon Regional and Ilocos Region Invitational Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines held last November 25 – 30, 2004 with a total of 5,281 participants. ==Tumauini became a capital of Isabela for sometime== The church of [[Tumauini]] is officially named Church of Tumauini, although most locals refer to it as St. Mathias’ Church. It was first built of light materials (wood, to be exact) as commissioned by [[Father Francisco Nunez]] in 1707. It became a regular [[parish]] in 1751 and got upgraded to a church of stone. A unique cylindrical bell tower, the only one of its kind in the [[Philippines]], was constructed through the efforts of [[Father Domingo Forto]], which started in 1783, and finished 12 years later (1805). The small town of [[Tumauini]] then became the capital of [[Isabela]] (when it was separated from [[cabagan]] in the 1880s). During [[World Ward II]], the church wasn’t spared from the bombings, but was repaired to its original form by the faithful of Tumauini. This church was recently declared a National Historical Landmark last February 24, 1989. It was also in this town that the resident of the staff of the foot- soldiers No. 73 with its Coronet. Chapla and the infantry band were put up in 1889. Tumauini being a melting pot of natives, Ilocanos, Spaniards, Tagalogs, Americans, and Chinese ancestors have a new generation of sturdy, brave, pioneering, industrious, happy and peace-loving people. The old prominent families were the Baquiran, Pascaran, Palattao, Tagufa, Mallillin, Nepomuceno, Taccad, Castellejo, Cacho, Guiyab, Caronan, Bacani, Catunan, Siagon, Dumaua, Bissalu, Lumauig and many others. The first known native priest of Tumauini was Fr. Lino Luis, an Ilocano and followed by Reverend Angongan; Tajedor; Apostol; Isaac; Albano; Marallag and Singson. Peace, contentment and happiness were not always the lot of the Tumauini people. They had their baptisms of blood and fire; war and famine of floods and death. The revolution of 1896-1900 caused many lives and properties damaged. Tumauini youth joined the Katipunan and never returned after the revolution. These who returned were able to enjoy their small pensions from the government. The last global war, [[World War II]] was counted as the darkest years in the history of Tumauini. The town was occupied by the Japanese invaders. When the Allied Forces came and liberated the country, towns has to be bombed, shelled and strafed to wipe out the Japanese. The town was in ruin. The church, the beautiful landmarks of the town was destroyed; its convent was leveled to the ground. What was left was it walls, a mut testimony of a once beautiful repose of the Dominican missionaries. The only structure that withstood the exigencies of the war was the 25 meters tall cylindrical, battered bell tower with all its medieval architectural beauty. From prosperity to war; from war to famine; from famine to death, the town of Tumauini with its great heritage and God-fearing people is reborn from slavery to freedom. This is the historical struggle of Tumauini seeing its bright future to become the greatest community of Northern, Isabela. ==Location== Tumauini being identified, as a growth center in the north and the 7th largest municipality in the province, located at the northern portion of the province.

This is the best-preserved church ensemble in Isabela although its convento is in ruins. The church can be considered to be the best and most artistic brick structure in the Philippines. The delicate brickwork is evident in the church itself and also in the cylindrical, confectionery-like bell tower (a later addition). In the convento's vaulted ceiling may still be seen impressions of the mats that were used as forms to mold wet plaster during construction. A low, undulating brick wall circumscribes the front garden. [PDI, Dec 16, 2001] First build of light materials by Francisco Nunez O. P., and dedicated to the Patron Saint, 1707.
