HISTORY

Historical Background

In the year 1927, evacuees from the provine of Ilocos came to this place. They mingled with the people originally residing near a mountainous area.

They were the Agtas and Ybanags earning a living through farming, hunting, wild animals and raising domestic animals since the place is near to mountains.

In the year 1930, the place became progressive in terms of agricultural aspect as the population increases.

As years passed by, the people living in this place, agreed together that there should be a name of the place where they are living. They came to think that they will name the place "Dummun".

After several years, the said barangay separated to Dummun and became part of Barrio Tubungan.

Until such time the the residents realized that they can stand and manage to have their own barrio and so they got Tubungan.
