History of Barangay Wawa

 Ang Alamat ng Wawa

Noong unang panahon gustong-gusto ng mga taong tumira sa malapit sa ilog dahil doon sila nakakakuha ng kanilang ikinabubuhay. Halos lahat ng kalalakihan ay pangingisda ang kanilang hanapbuhay. Dumaan ang maraming taon at araw na walang pangalan ang kanilang pook na tinitirhan. Dahil sa pangingisda ang hanapbuhay ng halos lahat, palaging maraming tao sa ilog. Kapansin-pansin din na maraming itim na ibon na nagtatampisaw sa ilog at maingay sila. Akala mo mga tao na nag-uusap dahil sa kanilang ingay, na ang maririnig mong tunog ay hindi matapos-tapos na wa-wa-wa-wa.

Isang umaga, may isang taong nagtanong kung ano ang pangalan ng lugar. Halos hindi sila magkaintindihan ng kausap sa ingay na gawa ng mga ibon. Dahil sa ingay nila, hindi niya naintindihan. Tumawa lang ang taong nagtanong at nagwikang “ay wala pala!” Inisip na yung tunog ng mga ibon, iyon na ang pangalan.

Kaya mula noon, Wawa na ang tawag sa lugar na ito.

 History of Barangay Del Pilar

Noong dekada 1950. Dito sa bayan ng Bayambang, Probinsya ng Pangasinan ay naging bakante ang ama ng Bayan. Kung kaya’t nagpulong pulong agad ang konseho ng bayang ito at naghanap agad kung sino ang karapat-dapat na maupo bilang ama o tinatawag na Mayor ng bayang ito.

Sa panahon na iyon walang mapili ang mga opisyales kung kaya’t pinili na lamang nila si Don Numeriano G. De Castro bilang abogado.

Tinanggap naman ni Don Numeriano ang ini atas ng mga konseho ng Bayambang. Bilang pagiging aktibo nya bilang Mayor, nakita nya ang maraming kakulangan sa bayang ito. Kaya ang unang hakbang na proyekto nya ay itayo ang monument ni Dr. Jose Rizal sa plaza o tinatawag na Patso ng Bayan.

Ang sumunod na proyekto ni Don Numeriano ay ang pagkakakilanlan sa bawat lugar upang madaling matukoy ng mga dayo o mga bisitang mapapasyal sa bayan. Kung anong mga kalye.

Kaya’t naisipan ni Don Numeriano G. De Castro pangalanan ang isang kalye sa bayan na M.H. Del Pilar sa kadahilanan na ang mga tao’y nagkakaisa at matapang pero mababait. Kaya simula ngayon tinawag ng “BARANGAY M.H. DEL PILAR” at hanggang ngayon sama-sama at tulungan pa rin ang mga tao dito.

One day, while the people were on their way, they saw an old man saying to them that someday there will come a time that they will have sufficient water for their crops to live.

Several days after the heavy rainfalls occurred, the people got surprised because of the big flow of water on one side of the barangay. From then on, people were able to plant several crops like corn, union, and others because of the help of the small creeks that existed of the said barangay. So, the people decided to get the name of San Gabriel 2nd under the name of Patron Gabriel Archangel because they knew that what they saw before, an “old man” was “Saint Gabriel Archangel” himself.
