Additional Information:

Some pronounce "Bang" as in the sound that a gun makes when fired
Some pronounce with the emphasis on the first syllable. I do not, as my father did not. Some of my siblings and cousins have Americanized it to emphasize the first syllable.
None of these are a deal breaker for me. Just do your best.
Don't be like my middle school physics teacher who said "Brannigan." That's not even close and is very disrespectful.
My father used to say that the original name was "Bangil" meaning "To Wedge" and a priest revised it to "Bangilan." Dubious story, as it doesn't even remotely sound Spanish and other families in the region were assigned a Spanish name.
There is a "Bangilan" province in Indonesia, not sure how old it is or if it has Filipino origin or vice versa.
