The present official name of this barrio was derived from the word “tabagwang”, a kind of shell found abundantly in the streams and brooks near the place. The barrio was established in 1893 with Felipe Samar as the first Teniente Del Barrio.
In the early days, the present site of the barrio was not inhabited. Most of the people live in the upland which they call “Paric”. The people live mostly on hunting, fishing, and farming. Wild hogs were rampant in the thick forest, so meat and root crops like camote, gabi and cassava or camoteng cahoy were the chief food of the people. Fish and edible shells were also abundant in the nearby brooks and streams. These people went down the brook until they reached the lowland which was inhabited only by Felipe Samar and his family. Realizing the advantages and nearness of the place to the town, these people began to move their families to the new site. The first families to move were Gregorio Alberto and Evaristo Idanan. The rest followed later. After the fire of 1920 which totally destroyed the whole town of Pandan, some of the people of the town came to live permanently in this place.
Peace and order was maintained by the Teniente Del Barrio. The World War II brought no destruction whatsoever to the barrio. The Japanese and guerillas had never visited the place as they did in other places of the province.
The people remain peaceful. There are no big buildings in this place up to the present. The customs and tradition were almost the same as those practiced in the town, being the nearest barrio.
The people had different ways of telling the time. By just looking at the sun, at noonday when your shadows are short and you can almost step on it, it is believed to be 12:00 o’clock. Another way is by a song of the forest bird called “ariliao”. This bird seldom sings during the day. It sings only in the early dawn about 4:00 o’clock. Then the people know that they had get ready for the day’s work again. In the afternoon, especially during rainy days, 6:00 o’clock was also determined by the songs of certain insects called “wick-wick”. This insect usually sings in the late afternoon. In the absence of accurate timepiece, these methods seen to produce good results so the people of the barrio still adapt these ways of telling time.
