Cultural Background
Barangay Lingunan, Valenzuela City got its namesake during the pre-colonial
times through word of mouth. It was believed that during pre-colonial era there’s
a stunning lady blessed with beautiful eyes that made everyone mesmerize. And
because of that, she was named Lingap. As the Spaniards arrived to conquer
their little barrio, Lingap’s father told her to take a pillow which contains their
family’s jewelry. Her father called out, “Lingap ang unan!”
One of the Spaniards overheard them saying the word “Lingunan”. Wondering
what might the word mean, he called Lingap’s family. “Alto! Alto! Espera un
momento (Stop! Stop! Wait a minute!),” he shouted at them. Because they did
not understand his language, they perceived it as a sign of threat towards them.
The Spaniards misheard his remark and thus called their newly conquered area
as "Lingunan."
Every other year of the 2nd week Sunday of February, Lingunan residents
celebrate their fiesta of The Holy Trinity with food and embellishments.
