BRIEF SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE

       Long ago, this barangay was part of barangays in the mountainside San Isidro. Due to increasing population and increase in the income of people as a resolution was passed that the northern portion of San Isidro will be separated to become of another barangay. Through the willfull prayers of the inhabitants and leaders their wish or proposal was blessed and Bensican was announced to become a new barangay.

       Bensican got its name of the community from a deep and winding creek which is the source of irrigation and where the spring development is located at the mountainous place north and eastern part of this barangay. This runs through the residential areas of Bensican down to the sabangan river. Leaders that time was headed by Don Primitivo Laureta, a native of this barangay.

          The inhabitants was pretty much engaged in planting tobacco, corn and vegetable, but the prime source of income was farming.

          Bensican was bounded on the north by barangay salpad, on the south by barangay san isidro, on the west by barangay malilion and on the east by barangay dalumpinas.
