BRIEF HISTORY

In 1950, Pedro Dino Desierto came to Bacalon from Barrio Cabid-an together with his wife Remedios Bueza. In July 1949, when the barangay became accessible to vehicles, it was only then that the first bus passed by the barangay. But before, only people and carts were able to pass by.

As Pedro Desierto recalled when he first transferred in the place, there were around 10 families inhabiting the barangay. Some of them were Nasyon, Hinto, Andes, Bonagua, Fortes, Boral, Bon and Mella families.

Little has changed in the areas land use since his migration in 1950. The forest area is almost the same as today. Some of the trees that can be found in the forest are Antipolo, Dau, and Naga; Bamboo grass and abacca also dominates the area. The farmland occupied a bigger area as compared to coconut.
