The Palaris Revolt of 1762
     
      A revolt presaging the Ilocos Revolt led by Diego and Gabriela Silang, and unique in the history of Pangasinan for being led for the first time by the common people broke out in Binalatongan, on November 3, 1762.  It spread to the other towns of the province including Paniqui (then still a part of Pangasinan), Malasiqui, Bayambang, Manaoag, Santa Barbara, San Jacinto, Dagupan, Calasiao, and Mangaldan.  Prior to this, uprisings in the province of Pangasinan including the Malong Revolt, which had been carried out against the Spanish government, were conceived and led not by the heretofore silenced masses but by the principalia, or the native officials, as well as the local aristocracy.
