Cultural Background

Barangay Lingunan, Valenzuela City got its namesake during the pre-colonial times through word of

mouth. It was believed that during pre-colonial era there’s a stunning lady blessed with beautiful eyes

that made everyone mesmerize. And because of that, she was named Lingap. As the Spaniards arrived

to conquer their little barrio, Lingap’s father told her to take a pillow which contains their family’s

jewelry. Her father called out, “Lingap ang unan!”

One of the Spaniards overheard them saying the word “Lingunan”. Wondering what might the word

mean, he called Lingap’s family. “Alto! Alto! Espera un momento (Stop! Stop! Wait a minute!),” he

shouted at them. Because they did not understand his language, they perceived it as a sign of threat

towards them. The Spaniards misheard his remark and thus called their newly conquered area as

"Lingunan."

Every other year of the 2nd week Sunday of February, Lingunan residents celebrate their fiesta of The

Holy Trinity with food and embellishments.
