HISTORY
Long ago, there was a place at the foot of the mountain which was blessed with nature’s gift, like green plants, trees and water fish. On the mountain, the mangyans found a small river teeming with fish. Because of this, many people from other places came and some of them started to settle at the area. This place became a part of Barrio Quinabigan and also a part of Sitio Agos.
The settlers who come increased and so they organized a new set of leaders. Later this place was named Pambisan Munti which means a small river where you can catch abundant fresh water fish with the use of a hook and built. This place soon became a barrio.
