History

This history of the premier Barangay was base from an interview taken from the old
Folks known as the first settlers as this was then a part of Barangay Calanan. The first occupant
of this wide track of land before the settlers was the Matanao and his wife. This couple was not
blessed for an heir to inherit their poverty their property. Then the Governor of the Mountain
Province, Bado Dangwa took interest of the said land and declaired it as his pasture land and a
certain Dela Penia declared Ngipen and some part of Madapdappig while below Ngipen, Takao,
Aquino, and Manao declared it.
Later in 1946, Tangkib bought the declared by Dela Penia and likewise Ottao, Massagan
and Cagdan. These buyers come from different tribes like Naneng, Pasil and Guilayon. They are
the first to settle at Madapdappig known as Dam Site, the other parts of the land were occupied
by different ethnic like Ilocanos, Igorots who settled the land of Aquino. Later in 1959 a group
of farmers from Tingyan proper led by Bugalan Angog, Francisco Paltog Macaiba, Francisco
Taguitag, Fachunga, Fagyan, Siddayao and others come and settled occupying the abandoned
Chico River bank known as Isla. These groups bought the portion adjacent to the land they
occupied and cultivated. There and then, they were owned by the immigrants of Tinglayan. It
was only in the opening of the Chico River Irrigation System in 1978 that this Barangay was
swarmed by relatives, clan members and tribesmen of Tinglayan.

Legal basis of Creation:

In 1986, there was an election by consensus at the Barangay level and the candidates for
Barangay Captain for Barangay Calanan are Mr. ROLA and Mr. PUYOC, because Mr. Puyoc
lost in this election by 25 votes, he filed a petition to declare the election Null and Void and
request for the re-conduct of the election which was then granted. When the scheduled date of
the re-election come, instead of conducting re-election, a dialogue was conducted between the
followers of Mr. Rola and the followers of Mr. Puyoc mediated by the late Provincial Secretary
Mr. Felicisimo Mundo. Both parties mutually agreed to separate Barangay Calanan into two
setting the boundary from damping area crossing the National Road to the Dangwa Fence
straight to the mountain. The existing fund of Barangay Calanan was also divided into two at
Four Thousand Pesos (P 4,000.00) each. When everything was settled and agreed upon, Mr.
Martin Puyoc invited everybody to a celebration at Isla. During the celebration of Victory, the
first Barangay officials of the new Barangay were named.
The Provincial Government under Provincial Ordinance No. 87 001 on March 7, 1987
granting the creation of Barangay Bado Dangwa from the Barangay Calanan as separate and
distinct Barangay.
The newly created Barangay was named Bado Dangwa in honor of the late Ex -governor
and Congressman Bado Dangwa not only for his benevolent and kindness to the Tinglayan

settlers who used to be his farm workers but also because the wider portion of Dangwa lands
within Barangay Calanan now belong to the new Barangay.
The newly created Barangay was named Bado Dangwa in honor of the late Ex- provincial
Governor and Congressman Bado Dangwa not only for his benevolent and kindness to the
Tinglayan settlers who used to be his farm workers but also because the wider portion of
Dangwa lands within Barangay Calanan now belong to the Barangay. In gratitude for naming
the new Barangay as Bado Dangwa, the living wife, Mrs. Lolita de Dangwa donated to the new
