According to the early people who inhabited, this place had a difficulty naming this place. They could not think of a good name at first to the place where they were living. One of the inhabitants suggested that since the place is abundant of morsico, which they call also balili, they just called it Balili. From that time until now the name that derived from the balili plants remained the name of the present barrio. The sitios included in the barrio are: Capao-an and Seling.

It was in this barrio that the Japanese strugglers made their headquarters in the forest of Tubig diao. During the Japanese day in this place, they capture a woman Eufracia Sajulga and made her as their guide. The woman was called ray authorities and made to testify before the investigating committee about the cruel practices done by the Japanese. The Japanese strugglers later surrendered to the army authorities and when Eufracia testifies against them, the Japanese were sentenced to imprisonment and others were hanged. The Japanese strugglers in this place killed two persons namely: Miguela Sajulga and Candida Sajulga, several carabaos, horse and the Japanese soldiers stole cows.
