UMANGANBrgy. Chairman: RAMIRO L. DIONISIO
Barangay Umangan which is
located in the eastern tip of Aliaga was a woodland during the early years of
the Spanish regime. It was dense forest teaming with wild animals, such as
deer, wild pigs, ducks and the like, so much so that it was a favorite hunting
ground, in the absence of shotguns, the hunters used nets of pits equipped with
spears and nooses to trap the animals.The days come when the settlers decided to clear the forest so they could cultivate the land. They built huts made of bamboos and cogon grass. Owning of the fertility of the soil, the number of settlers increased rapidly.
A story is told about a hunter who chanced to pass by and did not know that it was the same place he used to hunt wild animals a few years back because of the presence of many houses. He told the inhabitants that their village was once a hunting ground or “Umangan” of wild animals. From that time on, it was called Umangan. As of 1980, Umangan has 273 houses and 1,529 inhabitants. |
