CABUSLIGAN

        It is one of the interior Barangays of the town with a registered voter of 300 and whose 85% of its land area is devoted to agriculture.  Indubitably, farming is the main livelihood of residents.

        Its roots could be traced when a squad of Spanish soldiers, guided by a Filipino from the Poblacion, patrolled the place to look for an edible plant that is found in Spain.  This plant is called in the vernacular ‘buslig’, a kind of weed or plant with black fruits that grows between rice plants. The soldiers then gathered the fruits which, when cooked, were very tasty, and presented it to their commanding officer.  Informed by the Filipino guide that the locals called the plant as ‘buslig’, the commander officer ordered his soldiers to name the place, where they  gathered the tasty fruits, as ‘cabusligan’  to denote or distinguished it from other communities.   As years went by, more settlers came and the village was known then as ‘cabusligan’ and adopted the same appellation when it qualified to become a barrio.
