Cuartero,Capiz,Philippines

Long before the Spaniards came to the Philippines in the 16th century, Cuartero was a dense forest inhabited by some tropical animals, bats, rodents and some man eating animals. As time went on, after the ten Bornean Datus established their settlements in the archipelago, some members of the Sumakwelan settlers happened to reached this place using the river now known as Panay River, as their means of passage.

The Municipality of Cuartero was formally inaugurated on January 1, 1939 with Honorable Manuel Funa at First Alcalde Mayor and Honorable Pascual dela Torre as Vice Mayor.
