The municipality was known as Sapao, a name given by Spanish colonizers who accidentally were stranded ashore and met a native fisherman catching fish with his fish net. One of the Spaniards asked the fishermen “como se llma este pueblo.” The fisherman, thinking he was asked regarding his catch answered, “no Sapao ra”, signifying that he was not able to catch the whole fish for it went over the fish net he casted. So, the Spaniards believing that […]

Monica. They were fascinated with the vast array of blooming Talisay Trees in the place where the Municipality of San Benito presently stands. Their enchantment made them to name the place “Talisay.” After exploiting the place and observing the cultural behaviour of the people, a chapel was built bearing the relic of Saint Benedict. After a couple of years, Talisay was changed to San Benito in honor of Saint […]

- [Municipality of General Luna](https://www.siargaoislands.com/general-luna/): Many legends had been attached to the reason why this town had been known as Cabuntog in ancient times.

To protect itself against this depredation, it was decided to get rid of the bell. They did so by dumping the same at Campujong River. Dumping is “Buntog” in the local dialect, hence, the name. Records, however, tells a different tale. General Luna, then known […]
