Holy Cruz that was celebrated every third day of May (Santa Cruz deMayo).He made a complaint of the
noise of the mosquitoes, since the place was swampyand muddy; they called the placeas"LAMOKAN".
Another tale wasthat beach formation of the village which was like he top of the portion of a bell shaped
wooden martar used for pounding rice and that upon constant bouncing of big waves during stormy
weather, it sounds like poundingthe riceand they called the soundof"LUBOKAN". And now they finally
