PANGPANG: Then and Now

Pangpangs history started from a river divide. Lush water from
the southwest of the Sorsogon mountain range fed an area
largely devoted to rice farming. Most of its original settlers
toiled the soil as its livelihood.
Pangpang was inhabited by its early ancestors who migrated to
it from the coastal areas of early Sorsogon. Native of other
islands, especially from the Ilongo communities of the Visayas,
braved the seas to look for places where life sustenance was
abundant. These people traced their history to the ten Bornean
datus who fled to our archipelago. Moving eastward from their
original landfall in Pocdol of what is now Capuy, some settled in
Pangpang while others moved on to the present location.

Early in 1980, Pangpangs population was merely 1,446

composed of 789 males and 687 females. Today that number
grows to 9,067 at the last count. Majority of its inhabitants
are Catholics who chose the Our Lady of Salvation as patron
and object of their devotion.
Community growth is always accompanied with the need to
educate its people. Sensing the need, Modesto Lopez, a
resident, donated a piece of land where a school building was
built. Mrs. Leonor P. Flores, pioneered the first class in 1970.
Miss Modesta Pancho was the head teacher during that
transformation.
Most people foresee Pangpang as the next boom town
within the town. We expect it to happen sooner.

THE VISION
A barangay which is God-centered, progressive,
model of cleanliness and orderliness and one of the
centers of commerce in the city, and that the
residents adhere to the principles of charity and
peace under the umbrella of a responsible and
transformative leadership

THE MISSION
By way of responsible leadership of barangay officials,
along with the effective implementation of the barangay
development plan, progress and prosperity will be on our
reach
