Pilahan bound it on the west, by P. Lupa on the east, by Talaga on the southeast, by Saguing on the southwest, by Solo and P. Anaho on the northeast. The northern part of Estrella is bounded thousand square meters more or less, with almost 500 inhabitants.

The first settlers were simple people. They were engaged in farming and animal raising. Their products were merely for their own consumption, such as rice, corn, rootcrops, vegetables and fruits.

In addition, the reidents are happy folks. They have "subli", "pandangga" and modern dances as their means of entertainment and social activities. Every year, they have Thanks Giving Mass in their "tuklong" or chapel. They are all God-loving people. During Lenten Season, they have their so - called "pabasa" in honor of the sacrifices of God. They were all aware of the importance of mass media, and other musical instruments as their means of recreation. Radio broadcast is the most popular of them.

With the strong belief that independence from the barrio of Talaga will bring them faster growth and progress, the residents of Sitio Estrella petitioned the Provincial Board through the Mabini Municipal Council to create, recognize and declare the Independence of Estrella as a barrio. And on March 19, 1968 the said petition was granted in accordance with the provisions of the Revised Barrio Charter.
