History of Barangay Bongato East and West, Bayambang, Pangasinan


HISTORY OF BARANGAY BONGATO EAST and BONGATO WEST
A long time ago, there was a place where only a few lived, so there were very few houses. And because one could see many trees that bore fruit, the place looked like a forest.
One day an American and a Filipino walked through the place, and the American saw a fruit which was not familiar to him, so he asked the Filipino, “What is that?”
Since the Filipino couldn’t speak in English, he answered back, “Bunga ito.”
“What?” the American said, “Bunga-to”?
From then on the place that looked like a forest was called “Bongato” by the people.
