Anini-y
History
During the Spanish era, Anini-y was already an independent town with a Baroque church located on the heart of its town proper. During the American period in October 23, 1903, Anini-y was integrated into the municipality of Tobias Fornier (formerly Dao) by virtue of Philippine Commission Act No. 961. This move by the Americans, aimed to reorganize the local government units in the country. On August 5, 1949, the town of Anini-y became independent again from the municipality of Tobias Fornier by virtue of Executive Order No. 253 by President Elpidio Quirino.

- Iboc River and Nasuli River - two longest rivers in Anini-y

- San Juan Nepomuceno Parish Church or Anini-y Church — built during the Spanish era in the 19th century. The church is made of coral reefs carved into thick blocks to form an adobe and were glued using thousands of egg whites/yolks.

Some stories tell that people of the town were forced to contribute anything such as goods and food for the Spanish priest as well as raising chicken to lay more eggs so that it will be used for building of the church.
