CABALANGGAN

        The Barangay is located along the national road, bounded on the North by Brgy. Ora, South by Brgy. San Isidro,  West by Sinabaan and East by Brgy. Bulag.  It was formerly a part (sitio or purok) of Brgy. Bulag (refer at page 49) but when the residents began to celebrate their barangay fiesta separately in the early 60’s, that triggered and caused their severance. It was created as a ‘Barrio’ pursuant to RA 3590 (1963, The Revised Barrio Charter, supra, at page 9). 

        Folklore has it that, like Barangay Balaleng, the Barangay was named after the ‘balangeg’ plant that grew abundantly during the early days.  For convenience, it was termed ‘cabalangegan’, then ‘cabalanggan’. It is predominantly inhabited by farmers whose agricultural products include rice, corn, vegetables, root crops, fruits and livestock.

        Now, the barangay is a known stop-over, (especially to travellers and bus transportation going to and from the North), for food stores and carinderias that offer local viands and delicacies such as calliente, bibingka (supra, at page 32) ‘pasalubongs’ and other ‘lutong bahay’.  With a population of about 700, it is relatively a peaceful community ascribed, perhaps, to its propinquity to the Provincial Camp of the PNP which is just a kilometer away.
