Carmen, Agusan del Norte
Carmen was created into a municipality in 1949, when the "barrio"s of Carmen, Tagcatong, Cahayagan and San Agustin were separated from the municipality of Nasipit and constituted into the newly created town, by virtue of "Republic Act No. 380" which was approved on June 15, 1949. This law was sponsored by Congressman Marcos M. Calo. The town came into being on July 1, 1949.
Carmen in victoriam Pisanorum
The text of the "Carmen" survives in a single copy in MS. 3879–919, ff. 63–65, in the Bibliothèque royale Albert I in Brussels. The manuscript originated in Italy in the twelfth century and contains 174 folios. The mansucript begins with the words "Here begins the prologue of the book of Guido, composed of various histories for diverse uses for edification of the reader", but there is no reason to believe that Guido of Pisa is the author of the "Carmen". In fact, the Brussels manuscript is a careless copy of the original "Liber Guidonis", which places the surviving "Carmen" at least two stages removed from the original. It has come down to us without a title, the conventional title has been supplied by editors.
