THE BARANGAY

Balzain East, officially designated as Centro 11, is one of the 49 barangays of Tuguegarao City in Cagayan Province, Philippines. The name Balzain is said to have come fromn the word BALZA the Ybanag word for FERRY. It is said that in early days when 3 bridges were still non-existent and the Balzain creek was still navigable, Balzas were used to bring people to the edge of the town proper or poblacion. Hence, the area was commonly called AB-BALZAIN which later on became BALZAIN.

Originally part of the town's central district, Balzain was later divided into Balzain East (Centro 11) and Balzain West (Centro 12) to accommodate the city's growing population and administrative needs. As Tuguegarao City expanded, these barangays evolved from primarily residential zones into mixed-use areas featuring commercial establishments, educational institutions, and government facilities.

Today, Balzain East is a vibrant community that balances its historical roots with modern development. It hosts various businesses, schools, and community centers, contributing to the city's economic and social landscape.
