Etymology[edit]
The word was derived from a tree called "dadiagnao" which was used by the people for lighting as
torch, also as firewood. During the Spanish time, the Spaniards changed it to "Adiagnao" due to
difficulty of utterance.[2]

Historical account[edit]
This barangay is controversial[2] since it is geographically located in between the barangays of
Maangas and Lagha, both of Lagonoy before, and now of Presentacion. Hence, it was then part of
Lagonoy but its territorial jurisdiction was eventually transferred to San Jose purposely to provide the
then newly established town a forest where it can make use of the resources there such
as rattan and firewood. It said that Adiangao was thick with "dadiagnao", a tree from which "salong"
was taken. The people used this salong as lighting material or torch.
It was told by old folks that this barangay was a witness to Moro raids which the people's settlement
had been transferred more frequently from the different parts of the place due to these attacks. Now,
the present settlement of the people is near the sea making fishing as the main source of livelihood.

Geography and demographics[edit]


The barangay has a total population of 1,975,[3] 322 households and 782 registered voters. It is
located about 28 kms. by land or 15 kms. by water away from the poblacion of San Jose.[4] It is also
8 km away from barangay Sabang and with a distance also of 8 km away from the municipality of
Presentacion when you travel by land. It has 7 purok/zones and a total land area of 400 hectares
with rolling agricultural land and forest mountains. It is bounded on the north by cocoland and
northeast by barangay Ayugao, Presentacion were the Talidtidon Falls and Kawa River lies. On the
west by barangay Maangas, Presentacion where Gipangpang River can be found. On the south is
barangay Lagha also of Presentacion.

Economic profile[edit]
Adiangao is basically an agricultural and fishing barangay.[4] Coconut, abaca and tiger grass
production are the main livelihood of its residents. However, others derived their income from fishing,
labor, self-employment and public employment. The other areas of place are planted with various
vegetables and roof crops.
It has also a labor force of 337 economically productive people or about 98.76% of its total
household. About 80% earns less than ₱3,000 a month with each earner supporting an average of 2
dependents. On income dependcy ration, more than half of the families are estimated to be living
below the poverty threshold line. Most of these families own their own home lots which are usually
built with light and mixed materials, and some are concrete.

babies and those whose relatives could not afford to pay the burial fees for the dead. Today, the
cemetery is being used also as the graveyard even for Catholics.
According to old folks, there were trenches that were built in the place stretching towards its
neighbor barangay San Rafael, Lagonoy accordingly for the use of Filipino soldiers known before as
"insurectos" (insurgents) who are spying the arrivals of the Americans. They were using poles made

The name of the place[2] was originated from the local word "kinalasan" which means the flesh

difficulty of pronouncing the word that eventually led to its change of name to "Kinalansan."

Historical Account[edit]
The place is near Sabang, thus, the life of the people is usually affected by the frequent raids
of Moro pirates. Because of this difficult situation, the people could not work at their farms which led
them to butcher their livestocks and animals for food. The manner of butchering their animals[2] was
done accordingly by separating the flesh from the bones which they called as "pagkalas." While the
flesh is being consumed as food, the bones were collected and hanged on the trees which the
natives called as "kinalasan". It was in this account that the place was called "kinalasan", and later, a
Spanish priest changed it to "kinalansan" due to people during those times had the difficulty of
pronouncing the word "kinalasan."

Etymology[edit]
During the Spanish invasion of the Philippines, stories from old folks revealed that the Spaniards are
exploring every place to study, learn and try to understand the differentFilipino cultures. They would
frequently asked questions about something that caught their keen interests. An anecdote was told
that one of the incidences that occurred during those times was about a group of Spaniards who lost
their way. The place of Mampirao today was then thickly covered by forest. As they trekked along a
very small path and reached at a crossroad, the Spaniards saw a native indio and consequently
asked about the name of place. The indio without knowledge of the Spanish language, hence, he did
not understand what the Spaniards were asking, and instead sensing that he was asked about what
he was doing, he immediately responded that he was just "nagpipirao" which means "sleeping".
Accordingly, the Spaniards understood that the name of the place was "Mampirao" as they have
difficulty in pronouncing the world "nagpipirao".[1]
Another account[2] states that "mampirao" was derived from "mam-irao" which means a place where
you can find an air-plant called "irao". Thus, later it became "mampirao."

Barangay Mampirao is classified as a rural place composed of 7 purok/zones. It has a total land area

The name of the place[3] was taken from an incident of a small young lady named Minora, who

asking about the name of the place. Accordingly, she quickly replied out of her surprise of the
sudden appearance of the Spaniards with what she was singing, "O! Minor, O! Minor!" which then
prompted the inquirer to assume that it was already the name of the place. Accordingly, the
Spaniards were convinced by her answer because they saw only small people in the place which
eventually fit the word "minor" in their language. Then later on, the place was called Minoro.
