List of tenientes del barrio (past & present)
The coming of the Americans paved the way to
some changes in the political structure not only of this
barrio but also of other places in the Philippines. The units
of the government such as the “Barangay” were abolished
and instead barrios headed by tenientes del barrio was
introduced.
Those who became teniente del barrio during the
American regime were as follows : Mateo Macaraig,
Aurello Macatangay, Rufino Bool, and Marcellino
Macatangay
Before the war broke, the teniente del barrio was
still Marcellino Macatangay. But since he evacuated to
Ibaan, Vicente Gonito, a guerilla replaced him for the
meantime. After liberation, Marcellino Macatangay resume
his position and stayed as teniente del barrio for three more
successive terms (12) years until his death. He was then
succeeded by Dalmacio Macaraig. Later on he was
replaced by Igmedio Catilo.
Stories and Legend of Sitios :

Centuries ago, this place was known for its fruit bearing
tree called "Santolan". Almost all families had at least two or
three santol trees growing in their backyard. Thus because of
santol people from nearby place got used in calling this place

lives in protecting their country from foreign countries who

paving - the paved surface of a
thoroughfare. Paseo, walkway, walk - a
path set aside for walking. Sidewalks
provide many benefits including safety,
mobility, and healthier communities.
In addition to reducing walking
along roadway crashes, sidewalks reduce
other pedestrian crashes.
Roadways without sidewalks are
more than twice as likely to have
pedestrian crashes as sites with sidewalks on
both sides of the street.
SOLUTIONS
• Green Zone - green streets
incorporate integral storm water
treatment systems that are designed to
improve the water quality and reduce
the quantity of runoff. In most cases,
they are also connected with open
spaces and intended to be pedestrian-
oriented for the purpose of supporting
a safer and healthier community.
• Street Lights - Street lighting can
provide safety benefits at midblock and
intersection locations and can also
improve safety for pedestrians,
particularly at crossing points.
Lighting intersections can also aid
navigation and helps drivers to see the
intersecting road, turning vehicles, traffic
queues and any other road users. Lighting
should always be provided at signalized
intersections and roundabouts.

Well-maintained, accessible parks and recreation
facilities are key elements of strong, safe, and family-
friendly community.  Parks and recreation opportunities
encourage citizens to be engaged in their communities –
as volunteers, stewards, advocates and students. 
Community recreation reduces alienation, loneliness, and
anti-social behavior.
