TUE BARANGAY

INTRODUCTION:

Tue is one of the nearby barrios of Tadian municipality. From Tadian Poblacion, one
could reach it in an hour via the trail by hiking and about twenty minutes if one has to use
modern land transportation via Cabunagan following the road route. This place was used to
be commercial center of the surrounding places when the defunct Sambrano Transportation
was still the king of the road, carrying daily passengers and merchandise from the lowlands to
Bontoc, Mountain Province and vice versa. Then all of a sudden, due to some circumstances,
the Sambrano Transportation stopped and was no longer passing over the place. The road
became abandoned because no ride would ever use it. Thus the status of the place as a
commercial center died a natural death. Hence, Tue was no longer a commercial center.

CHAPTER I: GENERAL INFORMATION:

A.ETYMOLOGY:

Historical Background Of The Place

During the early times, the place was just a wilderness. The surrounding areas
featured by rolling hills and mountains were used to be pasturelands for cattle by a certain
prominent man of Kayan named Langgoy. The place where the present houses are now
located was formerly a farm. Unknown inhabitant of Balaoa, a barrio adjacent to the place,
owned this farm. The owner of the farm who was from Balaoa used to call the farm Adaan.
They called the place Adaan because of the good harvest they use to gather.

Wilderness was the general surrounding of the farm Adaan. Wild animals live in the
wilderness. In this wilderness, a big hard wood called tue in the local dialect by the early
people was among the trees in the said wilderness. Henceforth, a certain man by the name
Bunguwan of Barrio Balaoa used to hunt wild animals in this wilderness. For several
occasions whenever Bunguwan had hunted wild animals, he used to hang it in one of the
branches of the hard wood tree called tue. He did this for several times. Then one time while
Bunguwan was hunting in this place, he felt tired and thirsty. He wanted to drink water but
was not available at that time. Being thirsty and tired, he slept under the tue tree. As usual, he
hung what he had hunted in one of the branches of the hard wood tree. Suddenly he was
awakened by his dog. When Bunguwan woke up he saw that his dog was wet. Eager to drink
water, he followed his dog who showed him where the water was. He drank water that
quenched and satisfied his thirst, which made him regain his strength. Hence then, Bunguwan
was attracted to migrate to the place. He built his house near the tue tree. Then, Mangang-an
followed. They were all from Balaoa.

A prominent man of Kayan by the name Langgoy, who owned the cattle roaming in
the nearby hills, saw the little community. So he summoned Kambubo from Malaya, a barrio
of Cervantes, Ilocos Sur to live in the place, so he could take good care of his cattle in the
nearby hills, Kambubo complied with the instructions of the master, so he migrated to the
new place.
 2

Meanwhile, Adaan referring to the farm owned by some inhabitants of Balaoa was
abandoned. The owner who excavated it perhaps dies without children to inherit the said
farm. When the farm was abandoned, the name Adaan no longer existed. The new inhabitants
named the place Tue as an eternal remembrance to the big hard wood tree, which was used by
Bunguwan to hang the wild animals that he hunted. Now the popular name of the place is Tue
no Adaan.

The off-spring of Bunguwan, Mangang-an, Bukbukuwan and Kambubo are now the
present inhabitants of the place. According to the old man Gamboa, about 70 percent of the
present population figuring 648 people are descendants of Kambubo. The descendants of
Bunguwan, Mangang-an and Bukbukowan are few in the place because most of them
migrated t other places.

where the gate for the traffic of vehicles was erected. Travelers used to stay here
overnight waiting for the once so-called king of the road Sambrano Transportation
plying the Cervantes-Bontoc route. It is where the school and the barangay health
center is located.

b. Gusadan - the purok wherein one has to descend before reaching it from Kampo, the
