Dionisio Magbuelas (20 March 1846 - 1911), Dionisio Seguela or Dionisio Papa y Barlucia, more widely known as Papa Isio (Hiligaynon, “Pope Isio”), was the leader of a group of babaylanes who were, as conjectured by Modesto P. Sa-onoy, recruited from the remnants of Dios Buhawi’s movement, which dissolved under the poor leadership of Camartin de la Cruz in the years before the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution.
