Barangay Profile

Part I – Profile / Description of the Barangay

A. Historical Background

            The Subanos were the first traceable people to inhabit Barangay Malubog. They may have begun settling the places as early as the first part of the 19^th century.

            Older people of Malubog say that their parents settled herein 1905. The words: Malubog for Malubog River, Lumbia for Lubia Spring and bomba for the upper part of the Malubog River were there is a spring, were in used already. Since the words mentioned above there were not Subanos words but rather Cebuano words, it would be safe to conjecture that the Christian settlers could have come here as early as 1850.

            Among the Christians settlers before 1905 were: Mateo Mila, Esteban Fuentes, Ponciano Omagbon, Agosto Solis, Vicente Fernandez, Decoy Azcuna, Jose Siete, Martin Matalines, Domingo Revilla, Pacundo Huertas and teofilo Ferrera who own large protion of lang in Malubog, who now resided in what is now as Polao.

            Most of the Subanon people went to the innermost of the Mt. Malindang after they had bartered their lands with the Christians Settlers in exchange of bonglay (bolo) and honsoy (tobacco pipe). Only few descendants of Subanon people remain in Malubog to this day.

Few of them are self-employed and lots of them out of school youth do not have gainful employment.
