BRIEF HISTORY

Long time ago, before the arrival of settlers here in General Santos City,
Barangay Sinawal was inhabited purely by natives called “B’laans”. The word Sinawal
was taken from B’laan boy was drowned in the once unnamed river in the place. The
name of the boy was “As’-nawal” devolved into “Sinawal” since it is easier for them to
pronounce.
According to oral history, Sinawal before was thickly covered with trees and
vegetation and teeming with wildlife. Its creek were once deep with strong flowing
currents and abundant in marine life. There was enough food for the carefree, hunting
and food gathering natives in the place. Human activity however, had reduced the area
now into denuded, semi barren hillsides which turn brown during the dry seasons. Its
creeks are now devoid of marine life, its water reduced to a shalow, steady flow.
