In the northern
part of
Jimalalud,
there was once
a place endowed
with the beauty
of nature.

3
The beach
served as the
racetrack for
horseback
riders.
4
5
The cool waters
invited local
and foreign
tourists.

7
People also
enjoyed
gathering
clams, shells,
fish, and sea
weeds during
low tide.

9
One day, while a
tourist was
snorkeling near
a coral reef, he
saw a landmass
that looked like
an island.
10
11
Picnickers
seemed to enjoy
the shade of
mangroves.
12
13
Intrigued, he
asked a group of
young boys, “can
you take me to
that place?”
“Sure”, a
chubby boy
replied.
14
15
“Thank you very
much!” the tourist
told the boys upon
reaching the shore
while handing them a
two-peso bill. “Way
Sapayan!” (Welcome)
blurted the leader of
the team.
16
17
To satisfy his curiosity, the
tourist joined in the hubble-
bubble and declared, “I am so
happy to reach…..ahhmmmm,
what’s this place called?”
he sounds embarrassed for all
eyes are fixed on him. “Oh,
we called this “polo”, an
old woman answers, “for it
looked like an islet and over
there” pointing to the edge
“is the “pantaw”(veranda).
And that is how Polopantao got
its name.

Ang Alamat ng Polopantao
Sa hilagang bahagi ng Jimalalud, mayroong pook na mayaman sa likas
na kagandahan. Ang baybaying dagat na nagsisilbing karerahan ng mga
mangangabayo. Ang malamig at malinaw na tubig ang siyang nakabibighani ng mga
local at dayuhang mga turista. Ang mga tao rin ay nasisiyahang nangunguha ng
mga yamang dagat tulad ng talaba, isda at damong-dagat sa panahon ng pagbaba
nito.
Isang araw, habang ang turista ay nagliliwaliw sa karagatan malapit
sa bahay-tahanan ng mga isda, siya ay nakakita ng isang malawak na lupa
katulad ng isang isla. Kitang-kita sa mga manliligo ang kaligayahan sa lilim
ng mga bakawan. Dahil sa kanyang curiousity, sya’y nagtanong sa isang grupo
ng mga batang lalaki, “Pwede nyo ba akong dalhin sa lugar na ‘yon?” “Opo,
bakit naman hindi?” sagot ng isang may-katabaang batang lalaki.
“Maraming salamat sa inyo”, sabi ng turista sabay ang pagbigay ng
dalawang piso. “Walang anuman po”, bilang sagot ng lider ng grupo.
Upang matugunan ang kanyang alinlangan, siyay nakikiisa at nagtugon,
“Ako’y nalulugod na nakakarating dito, ano nga po ang tawag sa lugar na
ito?” Siya’y nabigla at nahiya dahil nakatuon sa kanya ang lahat. “Ah, ang
tawag naming dito’y “Polo”, sagot ng matamdang babae dahilan na ito’y
katulad ng munting isla at doon sa gilid, ang tawag naming ay “Pantaw”dahil
para siyang veranda ng bahay. Iyon ang pinanggalingan ng Barangay Polopantao.
