CHAPTER I

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Origin and Genealogy

An account narrates that:
Kerrel was a known good hunter and fierce warrior. He resided in Deseb, Bonagan. In
this place in the early times, busols (strangers who would behead anyone they caught in sight)
were feared by the people. However, in Bonagan, busols were afraid of Kerrel.

One time, Kerrel and his brother Cawa were travelling to Nueva Vizcaya. On their way, a
group of men took and beheaded his brother. He came back to Bonagan and brought along with
him his companions, and then proceeded to where the men had killed Cawa. He sought to avenge
the killing of his brother. He obtained seven heads of the seven men he killed.

During those days, it was a common practice to hold festivities to exult for victory.
Instead of celebrating for his victory, Kerrel ordered that the seven heads be brought to Tinek, the
land of his ancestors.

As replacement for the human heads, he tied seven pig heads of which people danced
around (intayawansha) with. He thought of bringing the heads back to Tinek and butchering pigs
instead so that such violent acts will not be inherited and imitated by the next generations.

One time, a group from To-jak who passed by the Bonagan community and Kerrel
investigated them. They informed him that they were heading towards Marikem. Kerrel advised
them that they better proceed to Karao since the place had sufficient water supply and fertile land
for agriculture. He gave one betek (four bundles) of palay and a certain number of kayabang of
gabi for them to plant.

After some months, they came back to Kerrel and complained about their crops and
plants being eaten by the ulsa (deer). He then provided them with one of his dogs named
Bangdoy. Later on, the group built rice paddies in Naybalew, an area below Ambangeg.

There was a time when some busols got to Tikey and beheaded a lady. A resident of
Tikey shouted from the top of the mountain, just above Bonagan. After learning the incident,
Kerrel and his group followed the busols. They were caught in a place called Saket-Ngila along
the way to To-jak.

Kerrel arranged the marriage of his daughter named Bingko-an to a man in Tinek called
Daklan. The couple had a granddaughter named Salaid (ancestor of Esnara families) who was
brought back to Bonagan and stayed with In-ngosan in Patek.

One story relates the name Daklan was derived from the word shekdan to mean flat. The
area used to be flat from north to south. Later on, the southern part sank and a swamp (now called
Debeng) was formed. Meanwhile, the flat area, especially the central part, served as an airstrip by
the Americans during the World War II.

Another story tells that during the early years, early inhabitants were free to hunt
anywhere outside their settlements. One day, a hunter from Tinek (Tinoc), a part of Ifugao,
reached the place as he was chasing a wild pig. Seeing the flat area, he exclaimed in their
Kalanguya dialect, “Nadaklanan.”

Another account narrates that the name Daklan was derived from the word karakdan,
which is translated as many or abundant. In the early times, Daklan was a flat and fertile land so
plants were abundant.

B. Etymologies

 How Irisan , Ambangeg got its name

The name of the place Irisan, a place in sitio Ambangeg was derived from an Ibaloi term
ishisan, meaning a place where crushing is done. Before World War II, people used to gather red
stones from Katedeg and bring it to the place to be crushed and processed. These stones were
believed to contain gold.
 How Asin and Ati-an got their names
 Asin (salt) and Ati-an (to drain) are places in sitio Bunagan. In these areas, there is a hot
and salty spring where people can make salt from the spring. They collect water from that spring
and drain it, leaving salt as residue.

C. Its Creation

Daklan was one of the nineteen (19) towns that were created through Act No. 48, which
was passed in November 22, 1900. Each of these towns operated independently, until later, these
towns were reduced into thirteen (13) municipalities. Daklan then became a barangay, which
includes the territories of Bila. However, due to the increasing population, a plebiscite was held
in 1965 separating Bila from Daklan. Thus, Daklan became one barangay and so with Bila.

Barangay Daklan is composed of five (5) sitios namely Ambangeg, Embasay, Bunagan,
Daklan Proper, and Penged. It is located on the central part of Bokod. It shares its boundaries
with barangay Bila on the North, barangay Poblacion and Ambuklao to the South, barangay
Karao to the East, and barangay Tikey to the West. It is the site of two important establishments
which are Benguet State University, Bokod Campus, which started operating in 1972; and the
Dennis Molintas District Hospital, built through the initiative of former Congressman Andres
Cosalan. These establishments serve the people of Bokod and its neighboring communities.

 Brief History of Ambangeg Elementary School

Ambangeg Elementary school is 60 kilometers away from Baguio City and 6 kilometers
from Bokod District Office. This school is strategically situated at a fast growing sitio
Ambangeg, overlooking the rice terraces and green mountains of the different Barangays of Ekip,
Karao, Bila and Daklan. It is the gateway to Mount Pulag. All mountain climbers to mount Pulag
always pass by the school, following the scenic and pine clad trees along the Ambangeg-Palansa-
Pulag Trail. It is one of the schools here in Bokod where most of the different tribes of the
mountain provinces and the lowland are found due to its proximity to Benguet School of Arts and
Trades now BSU – Bokod Campus.

To solve the dire needs of schoolchildren of the Benguet Consolidated Incorporation

(BCI) laborers, Ambangeg Logging Area, and the community, the personnel of the BCI under the
leadership of Mr. Donald Gunn (Project Manager), a 2-unit semi-permanent school building was
constructed without any cost from the Local Government Unit. In the school year 1967-1968,
grades I and II were opened simultaneously as an annex of Daklan Elementary School with
Mesdames Adeline Vallinan and Sonia Molintas Celino as pioneer teachers. To meet the needs of
the increasing number of schoolchildren, a three-unit Marcos Type building was erected in 1968.
It became a complete primary school year 1969-1970 with four (4) teachers.
In the school year 1970-1971, Mrs. Felisa Molintas, a Master’s Degree holder was
assigned as a teacher in-charge and opened grades V and VI to make it a complete primary
school. The school was made independently from the mother school. In the year 1971-1972, Mrs.
Felisa Molintas was promoted as a head teacher. Classrooms were still lacking. Building
materials were available but no space was sacrificed and demolished. The Barrio Council of
Daklan headed by Barrio Captain George Suanding Sr. donated the market site. Immediately in
May 1972, a 2-unit Marcos Type building was constructed and was occupied in the school year
1972-1973. The school turned its attention to the improvement of the physical aspect of the
school site. The Parent-Teachers’ Association was reorganized with active and diligent officers.
Mrs. Luisa Beray, PTA secretary was appointed as chairperson of the fund raising campaign.
With the cooperation of other officers, they were able to solicit enough funds from the civic-
spirited citizens from the community and from Baguio. The fund was used to buy bags of cement
for the construction of concrete fence, concrete pathways and a semi-permanent toilet for boys
and girls. The BCI employees for retaining walls within the school site also hauled several
truckloads of stones. With the guidance of Mr. Donald Gunn and Mrs. Felisa Molintas, both PTA
advisers, the services of the BCI laborers were utilized after their dismissal from their work in the
afternoon and during Saturdays and Sundays free of charge.
The school again was beset with lack of classrooms. Typhoon Onding blew away the
whole roofing of the school building constructed by the BCI in 1967. The intermediate pupils
were housed in the same building without roofing for more than a semester. With the help of the
District Supervisor Roberto Fernando and other authorities, a new first type of bagong Lipunan
was erected in the summertime of 1978. At present, there are three (3) school buildings with 7
classroom teachers, but no home economics and industrial arts buildings.
Mrs. Felisa Molintas managed this school for 10 years from 1970 to 1980 as the teacher
in-charge, head teacher and later as principal I with seven (7) teachers. Due to overstaying heads
of schools, Mr. Roberto Fernando initiated the reshuffling of three (3) principals. In June 1980,
Mr. Belit D. Anacio, Principal of Karao Elementary School took over the place of Mrs. Felisa
 Molintas. With the new head of school, it was noted that the school has a limited area for future
development and lack of water supply for drinking and washing. Through the request of the
school, the Chairman of the School Board, Mr. Lolito T. Igualdo, appropriated an amount to
purchase a private lot adjacent to the school to make the school site at least ½ hectare. The
additional area is intended for school orchard and tiger grass plantation.
 Brief History of Pidile Elementary School
PidileElementary School was opened early in the 1990s at Penged, Daklan. This was
possible through the humanitarian consideration of the grandchildren of the late old man Pidile of
Penged. It is more or less sixty (60) kilometers north of Baguio City passing through the District
Office, which is about ten (10) kilometers away.

The school started with one building furnished with a comfort room. Like when it was
opened, the school consists of a multigrade class being handled by one teacher. Enrolment rate
increases every year.

 Brief History of Daklan Elementary School

Daklan Elementary School was the first school to be opened in the municipality in 1906
under the American Colonial Government. The site was the former site of the Old Spanish
Municipal Building. It has an area of 1.59 hectares situated at the center of the valley.
Transportation is available through the provincial and barangay roads connected to the different
sitios.

Mr. Floresca, a teacher from the Lowlands was the first who opened Grade I with 32
pupils, mostly boys. In the succeeding years, enrolment increased and additional classes were
opened until it became a complete primary school.
Among the first pupils were Mr. Ngoay Wales, who became a sanitary Inspector of
Sagada, Mountain Province; Mr. Alo Caparas, who graduated from PMA at Camp Allen, Baguio
City and became a captain in the army before the war; Mr. Bito Basatan and Mr. Sinas Lamsis
who were employed as emergency teachers by the Americans.
Miss Matea Sinong of Kabayan, Benguet was one of the teachers. She taught loom
weaving to the pupils and adults while Mr. Lesane, a Lowlander taught handicrafts and pot
making out of clay.

After World War II in 1945, Grades I-V classes were opened with Mrs. Guillerma
Awingan, Mr. Larry Awingan, Mr. Serafino Dorot and Mr. Belario Piok as teachers.
In 1946, there were 300 pupils enrolled from the barriers of Nawal,
Tikey, Acnal, and Bila. To solve the problem of accommodation, the community with the help of
people from other barrios constructed a 2-room temporary building. Meanwhile, the Municipal
Council passed a resolution requesting for the opening of grade VI in Daklan. It was approved
and Grade VI was opened on August 20, 1946. Pupils from Daklan who enrolled at Bokod
Central in June of that year were recalled to report at Daklan.
The physical improvement of the school started in 1951. A Gabaldon type building was
constructed through the leadership of Mayor Jose Piok. The Home Economics building was also
constructed.
In 1965, one Marcos Type building was constructed, funded by the Municipal School
Board. Another two (2) Marcos Type building were built in 1968 and 1970 respectively. These
two buildings became the Barangay High School, which was closed in 1979 due to the opening of
the Benguet School of Arts and Trades.
At present, almost a century hence, the pioneering spirit of the school lives on. It is now
reputed to be the Alma Mater of many professionals of Bokod who excelled in their respective
professions.
