Discussion of Findings of the Study
Conclusion
Recommendation
12. In the late 18th century, the colonizing activities
of the Spanish were about to overpower the local
Datus. Because of this, some Datus looked for places to
evacuate and settle down. One of them was Datu Bago
who together with his followers was living along the
seashore. They planned together to vacate a place
where they can settle in peace and harmony.
13. Their hunting activities brought a young hunter
who is a member of their tribe to a virgin forest. In his
hunting space, he felt tired so he looked to a place to
rest. Realizing that along the river is suited for human
habitation, he returned to his community near the
seashore and told the leaders that he saw an abundant
place that can be settled down by their tribe.
14. The place was showered with nature’s
abundance. Upon reaching there, the Datu’s agreed to
subdivide the place among themselves; the Western
(now Wines), Southern part (now Malagos), Eastern
part (now Lacson) and the Northern part (now
Tamugan). They began establishing their sectors
according to the laws of the tribe headed by Datu.
15. The center of the different sectors which was the
source of the crystal clear water was named
“Gumaang” a Diangan word which means a “big
river”. Sooner and until now it becomes Gumalang.
16. Gumalang being a fertile land was the dream of
settlers who aspired for a bright future through
agriculture. The fertility of the place persuaded many
migrant families to come including the families of
Alejo, Ong, Pasaporte, and Fuentes. They migrated to
Gumalang and begun a fruitful endeavor. Then, the
enterprising Japanese established an abaca plantation.
17. The history of Gumalang is blessed with heroic
deeds by its pioneering settlers and its progress is the
joint efforts of its leaders and the co-cord of its
inhabitants.

22. Ethno-history of Kalagan Tribe
Barangay Gumalang is inhabited with the
Kalagan Tribe. The people in Barangay Gumalang
tagged them as Tagakaolo but they do not accept it
because Tagakaolos are Muslims.
This tribe did not really emerge in Barangay
Gumalang but they originated from Malita, Davao
Del Sur whose tribal leader is Datu Maltina Masiwil.
The barangay is lived by this tribe approximately since
2004. It was Mr. Masian Uboc’s family who came in Gumalan
first after his cousin, Sitta, who was living in Calinan before
introduced him to the barangay captain of Gumalang.
23. There are some reasons why this tribe moved
in Barangay Gumalang because of poor living
conditions.
• Less job opportunities
• The school is far.
• No access to electricity and potable water
24. At present, the community of the
Kalagan Tribe in the said barangay is
composed of approximately 50
Individuals who are regular voters.

The exodus of this tribe from Malita
made it hard for them to pack up their
things. They were not able to bring their
tribal garments and accessories as these
would add to the bulk of their load, thus,
making their transportation fee to
increase also.

pesos a day only.
