Arcadio Maxilom figured imminently in the Revolution against Spain and the resistance against the Americans in the past. Juan Climaco was a well-known figure when the Spaniards departed. Leon Kilat was a charismatic figure that was believed to have supernatural powers. Don Pedro Cui along with his sister who were generous philanthropists.
