However, its economic development has been hastened with the increased agricultural, livestock and the fish production through modern technology.
Pililla is an old community, having been founded as an Independent Municipality in 1583. The present church which was recently renovated was constructed in 1673 after a series of fire that gutted the first church in 1632 and again in 1668.
