BARANGAY PANGDAN

HISTORY OF THE BARANGAY

Pangdan is the popular, past and present name of the barrio. This is the only barrio of Jagna where “pandan” or “pandamus” thrivess. Hence it is called Pangdan. The word Pangdan is derived from the word “pandan”, which is a thorny-leafed plant. The leaves are used for making mats and other similar articles. This barrio includes the sitios of Balbalan, Kanhabol, and Kinalumsan.   There is no authentic record available which definitely tells the date of the establishment of this barrio. According to reliable informants, when the Spaniards came to Bohol, this pace was already occupied by a certain group of natives headed by a datu. Just a few years after the defeat of the Spaniards by the British, the Spanish government established the barrios of Bohol. Pangdan was one of them. The families that originally occupied Pangdan were the Acenas of Balbalan, the Jamisola, Acedo, Ranara, and Galolo of Kinalumsan, and the Lakaran of Canhabuol. The recorded Cabezas of Pangdan were Juan Acas, Anecito Acenas, Nicolas Acenas, Dumpas Galolo, Paulino Acenas and Tomas Jalloren. During the American administration and to the early Philippine Republic, the barrio was headed by Tenientes  Paulino Acenas, Nazario Jamisola, Mariano Acaso, Cornelio Jamisola, Bernabe Rances, Hegenio Jamisola and Vicente Acaso.
