THE LEGEND OF BARANGAY MANZANTE
Manzante is one of the component Barangays of Magsingal, Ilocos Sur. It is about two and a half kilometers away from the poblacion. A good road going to the place is maintained by the government. Carts, kalesas, tricycles, and automobiles can reach the Barangay easily.
Nobody knows exactly how the Barangay got its name. But according to some people, fruit trees called “Manzanita” grew in abundance in the place before even when the people began to build their houses Manzanita were still plenty. They then called the place Manzanita. Later, the place changed the name Manzante from Manzanita. Up to this time the barangay still called “Manzante”.
