Barangay Lorenzo Tan

Brief history of Barangay Lorenzo Tan

The ‘’SUBANENS” were the first settlers of Barangay Lorenzo Tan.  They depended on hunting wild animals for food especially the meat needed during festivals, usually ‘’baboy ihalas’’ or wild pig.

‘’PONTOD’’ was the first name given to the place; it was a sitio of Barangay Pangabuan.  The name ‘’Pontod’’ was given by early settlers from Cebu to the people who were just wearing a ‘’G-string’’ or ‘’Bahag.’’   Pontod was also a synonym for plateau or ‘’Tagabukid’’.

During the time of Mayor Alfonso D. Tan, the people wanted for Pontod to be a separate/independent barangay from Pangabuan.  Mayor Tan asked for a list of the population not less than five hundred to quality for a Barangay. The needed requirements were accomplished and the former ‘’sitio pontod’’ became a regular Barangay.
