‭ arangay Lindero was believed to have been founded and got its name presumably‬

B
‭during the 19th century.‬
‭The brief historical background was narrated by means of information. Before,‬
‭Lindero residential structures were single detached with wide lot areas and‬
‭characterized by coastal area, river and river banks called Cairawan cutting through the‬
‭National Highway and draining towards the sea, located in the Central portion of the‬
‭place.‬
‭Later the structure of the river changed direction to the Northern portion and left‬
‭minor creeks, swamps and vast expanse of land covered with tall grasses and trees.‬
‭The clearing of the area to established residence was initiated by the people living in the‬
‭ lace. The past prominent people of that time started on the process of discovering the‬
p
‭name of the place “LINDERIA” commonly known to the old folks “ LINDERO” meaning‬
‭boundary between two big barangays in the Municipality of Laua-an along the National‬
‭Highways namely Poblacion and Guisjan.‬

‭ esidential houses near forms with random formation located on the hilly and‬
R
‭mountainous portion of the Eastern part of barangay Lindero became Sitio, fondly called‬
‭“Malawmawan” , was included in the area. Sitio Malawmawan was named and‬
‭established during world war II where the Philippines was liberated from Japanese‬
‭control by allied forces in 1944 “MALAWMAWAN '' comes from the name of the three‬
‭“MALAWMAW” who protected our ancestors during the war, the tree covered the whole‬
‭place of Sitio Malawmawan so that the Japanese will not immediately recognized our‬
‭ancestors they used this three to protect themselves. In the middle part of the 19th‬
‭Century after the 2nd World War, people depended on the weaving hat industry made‬
‭by “BURI '' and “ BIRIBED” as their source of income and many rode to Political Power‬
‭and became leaders.‬
‭Hence, for the first time in the history of Lindero, elected Mayor year 1950-1954‬
‭Baltazar Necesito Sr. created and constructed Barangay Road, land donation from‬
‭Antonio Sarmiento and Tomas Bangcaya year 1950. All were natives in Lindero.‬

b
‭undetermined period of service respectively. By succession Moises Manlangit, Cerilo‬
‭Bangcaya, Alfredo Bangcaya Sr. Carlos Jungco Sr., and Marco Solangon Sr. It was‬
‭during the incumbency of Marcos Solangon Sr. when the old Barangay Hall and‬
‭Multi-Purpose pavement were constructed with a donation of lot from Baltazar Necesito‬
‭Sr.‬
‭In 1984 the constructor of the new National Highway and Cairawan Bridge were‬
‭transferred to the Eastern portion and the old one remained abandoned.‬
