Barangay Macatiw
It is said that when the Spaniards arrived, there was a jumpy man called Vicente “Itiw.” Whenever he is called, he answered back saying: “Umay can Itiw” which means “Calm down Itiw.” The phrase “umay can Itiw” has become an expression of the people living there. When the Spaniards have gone to Alos they reached this place where Vicente is living and heard the common expression of the people. So the Spaniards called and established this place “Macatiw.” . |
