Pozorrubio, formerly known by the name Claris, became an independent town on January 1870, and also established a parish on July 28, 1879, both by virtue of the royal decrees made by Governor General Carlos Maria de la Torre. (Source: Faith Enshrined: Churches of Pangasinan, Visitacion de la Torre, 1997).
The name Claris was derived from Juan dela Cruz Palaris, the leader of the 1762 Spain revolt of Binalatongan (San Carlos). Claris was named in honor of Palaris, king of Pangasinan. Father Asencio suggested Pozorrubio to honor Governor-General dela Torre alias Conde de Pozor-the Count of Pozor, adding RUBIO.
The Cablong (now the town proper) temporary parish was opened and the new church inaugurated on July 26, 1879, by Fr. Julian Lopez, San Jacinto Vicar, with the appointment on December 5, 1879, of Fr. Joaquin Gonzales (1879โ1884) as Kura Paroko. Fr. Silvestre Fernandez (1887โ1893) added the convent and the "escuelas" of "caton" and the old brick-walled cemetery. Mortae and ladrillo were used for house construction. Fr. Mariano Rodriguez (1893โ1899) built a bigger bricks church (75.57 m long, 23 m 50 cm wide, walls of 4 m high, unfinished due to the Philippines-American War).
Santa Philomena became the Town's Patron Saint with feast day of August 13. She is, as believed by her devotees within the Catholic Church, a young virgin martyr whose remains were discovered in 1802 in the Catacombs of Priscilla. Three tiles enclosing the tomb bore an inscription that was taken to indicate that her name (in the Latin of the inscription) was Filumena, the English form of which is Philomena.
