HISTORY 

   According to our Grandparents, once there was grown big hard tree inside the wild forest of the foot Mount Mayon. This tree was known by the hunters “Baligang Tree “. These kinds of trees were famous because of its wide twigs and colour black fruit. Its fruit taste a little bit sour however excessive in sweet.

   In the centre of the forest near Baligang Tree, there was Abacas or commonly called Manila hemp wildly grown. These Abacas were harvest by the farmers and made it into an Abaca thread which they sell at the metropolis. Our Grandparent added that the farmers vend Abacas to survive the hunger. Before the farmers ran thru the forest, they always pass over the Baligang tree that during the times, they sometimes made it a meeting place to take their lunch and their place to rest. Because of the far distance of their place to the forest where they get Abacas, they certainly decided to build their houses nearby the tree. As the times, days and years goes on, many people then built houses – hundred of houses particularly. This was the reason to turn the place over into a village. Since then, the place was known Barangay Baligang.
