Mrf san rafael tarlac city
San Rafael is located within Tarlac City, Philippines. According to stories of old folks,sometime in 1947, a small bario was given the name Barangay San Rafael after an alleged miracle when the image of Saint Rafael survived the fire engulfed the house of its custodian. The image was found unscathed. Originally, Sitio Proper was the Barangay San Rafael, until its area expanded. Barangay San Rafael then was being administered by the first Tenyente Del Barrio, Mr. Mariano Feliciano, followed by Mr. Elias Castro, Ponciano Fausto, Rufino Maglalang,Felix Calara, Abelardo Cruz and Benjamin Quinto. Their selection was simply through the raising of hands or "Viva Voce".
