The town of Orion has contributed a great man to the country in the form of Don Cayetano Arellano, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who was born in this town on March 2, 1847. Another hero was Francisco Balagtas, greatest Filipino poet and author of the renowned "Florante at Laura". He married Juana Tiambeng, a pretty lass of Orion, and lived here from July 1842 to February 1862.
