The vicinity of Ilaya is situated at 8.54° North latitude, 123.43° East longitude and 20 meters elevation above the sea level.[4] It shares a common border with other barangays of Dapitan namely, Hilltop (north), Barcelona (south), Ba-ao (east) and Burgos (northwest). It also shares border with the municipality of Polanco in the west.[5]
The first people of Ilaya were the Subanen of Indonesian in origin known to have settled and lived along the banks of the river or “suba”. They were people of the river who believed in the spirit and the forces of nature. Timuay is the traditional title for the communal leader who is also the chief arbiter of conflict between the families of a community. Subanens held “buklog” to propitiate the diwata or to celebrate an event of communal significance and is exclusively performed by the balian. The functions of a balian are those of a medium who directs the living person's communication with the spirits, of a priest who conducts sacrifices and rituals, and of a healer of the sick.[3]
In 1563, some Eskayan followers of Datu Pagbuaya arrived and settled in Ilaya.[3]
During the Spanish occupation, Ilaya became a town known as "Pueblo de San Lorenzo" with its own local government under an executive called Gobernadorcillo.[6] The Spanish authorities created the pueblo de San Lorenzo to extend administrative control of the area in order to extract tribute and instate forced labor to the community. The barrios had to be integrated into the colonial framework so the Spanish authority instituted a policy of resettlement or “reducciones” (reduction) which would consolidate population in larger villages. This policy resulted to the incorporation of the communities from Oyan to Dampalan, as well as the present municipalities of Sibutad, Piñan, Rizal, Mutia (Salvacion) and La Libertad as barrios of Pueblo de San Lorenzo.[3]
On January 31, 1901, the American authorities reorganized the municipal government through Public Act 82, a general act for the organization of municipal governments in the Philippine Islands. With the new law, Pueblo de San Lorenzo became a barrio of Ilaya under the municipality of Dapitan which is also under the province of Zamboanga.[3]
