Barangay Bacayan is originally named Sitio Talamban, a place known for its bamboo and venue

for cockfighting activities.

The original settlers in Barangay Bacayan were the families of Valentin Borgonia, German

Supapo, Fortunato Velayo, Quintin Erana, Cornelio Gerona and Pedro Entece. In 1952, Pedro

Entece became the Teniente Del Barrio, the first Punong Barangay at that time.

Barangay Bacayan celebrates its annual fiesta every third Saturday of September in honor of

the Patron Saint Sr. San Roque.

The name of the Barangay was taken from the native word "Tigbakayan" which means an open

place where cockfights were held. Some old folks say the name derived from the word

"bagacay" or place where bamboo trees abound.

Bacayan surfaced as the official name of the Barangay as it is closer to the descriptions of the

place passed on from one generation to another.
