Camangaan

          Barangay Camanggaan was formerly a sitio of Barangay Sto. Tomas before the 70s. Early settlers in the place came from Dingras, Sarrat and Piddig, Ilocos Norte in the later part of the 19th century. These adventurous Ilokanos were led by Bolinao, Evangelista, Paraguas, Luzano, Mariano and other families who established their homes with farming as the primary source of their livelihood.

The place was blessed with thick forest trees and other fruit-bearing trees like mangoes or mangga in the local dialect. Every backyard has mango fruit bearing trees. People from adjacent barangays called the place as “Camanggaan” because of the abundance of mango trees in the locality.

The first members of the barangay council included the following: Cresencia Bibat, Brgy. Captain Celedonio Balno, Bonifacio Vicente, Isabelo Pascua, Armenio Pascua, Tomas Valdez and Avelino Ubatto, councilmen.

Other source of income are livestock raising, gold panning, and overseas employment. A tourist spot is the San Sebastian Dam in the Sabangan River, which attracts picnickers.
