BUQUIG
The Barangay is relatively small with only 326 voting population. It is just half a kilometer away from the town proper, adjoining Barangay V. Although it is along the national highway and considered as an expansion area or a buffer zone, still, most of its land area is suitable for farming. It is for this reason how the barangay got its name, from the pilipino jargon bukirin- a view of wide farmland.
As told, when Tagalogs and other visitors passed by in their way to the town proper, they are amazed with the serenity and awesome scenery of spacious tract of rice field being tilled by farmers, so they referred to the place as bukid, then evolved to become as Boquig.
People are, mostly, into farming; others engaged in carpentry, vegetable dealership, drivers, conductors, office workers, teachers and businessmen.
It is here where the catholic public cemetery is furtively located due to its proximity to the Parish church.
