MALINGEB

        Located 7 kilometers away from the town proper, it is about 2.5 kilometers from the National Highway via the Ora-east road. It is bounded on the North by Brgy. Cabusligan, Quimmarayan and An-annam, on the South by Brgy. Bulag, on the West by Brgy. Ora and Capangdanan, and on the East by Brgy. An-annam. It is divided by a river, with an approximate land area of 100 hectares and with a voting population of 514.

        History tells it that in the early days, the place was once a concealed vast green forested land covered by big trees and grasses. One day, a group of people came looking for a conducive place where they could seek refuge. In here, they found a perfect site, an uninhabited area, for it is covered with tall weeds and plants very ideal for a secluded habitat.  They named the place as ‘nalinged’, denoting to a hidden or isolated place, until the word ‘malingeb’ was coined.

         Its topographic feature, up to now, is hilly and mountainous, but no longer much covered with thick forest-like trees. Farming is the main occupation followed by carpentry and swine fattening.  Women are engaged in weaving, others in blue-collar jobs and many have gone abroad to work.

        Its barangay fiesta is celebrated every May 15, dedicated to, and in honor of, the patron saint of farmers, San Isidro Labrador, as their devotion of gratefulness for an abundant harvest.
