History and Etymology
During the early part of 17th century, Villasis was a mere barrio of Malasiqui which was known by its first name “Pandoyocan”. The place had no fixed boundaries. It was simply a frontier settlement, a thickly forested region covering most of the southeastern part of the province. Its jurisdiction embraced in full or in parts the towns of Asingan, Sta. Maria, Urdaneta, Sto. Tomas and Alcala. Its features varied with the number of families temporarily or permanently settled within its environs. Few people lived in this place because few edible plants could be grown due to unavailability of open spaces for farming. Its thick forest however was a nesting ground of great hordes of bees they called oyocan which produces honey called allid. The abundance of honey attracted Spaniards and inhabitants of neighboring places to settle in this village. The honey provided good income and the bee wax, another bee product, were then traditionally used for cloth weaving. From this, the place was made popular by its great hordes of bees and they called the place “PANDOYOCAN” meaning colony of bees. It was also the principal source of timber. As late as the middle of the middle of 19th century, its nearby forest still yielded wood used in principal constructions for civil as well as naval uses. One vessel of the Spanish navy was even constructed at Lingayen with timber from this area. Moreover, the banks of the great Agno River were another source of livelihood with the abundance of gold dust called mocmoc.
