CONCEPT
Paco was known as Dilao in light of the Amaryllis plants that were once copious on this area. Dilao or dilaw is a Tagalog word for the shading yellow. Albeit, a few sources say,it was named Dilao or "Yellow Plaza" by the Spanish pioneers on account of the Japanese transients who lived there, depicting their physiognomy. Spanish Franciscan ministers established the town of Paco as ahead of schedule as 1580.
