THE LEGEND OF BARANGAY BACAR
Long long time ago Barangay Bacar is a forestland area full of Bamboos and big trees which are called “Bangar tree”. It is believed that those kind of trees are home of bad spirits.
Those Bangar trees remain standing because people are afraid to cut them down due to their belief that they might acquire sickness from the bad spirit that are staying on the trees.
Barangay Bacar is composed of three sitios namely; Libtong, the souther part, Quinawayanan, the center, and the Bacar, the extreme northern part. Barangay Bacar was created during the administration of the late Mayor, Honorable Candido Tolentino on the calendar year 1956 to 1959.
Barangay Bacar was a previous component of Barangay San Basilio but due to the Local Code of the Barangay, it was then recognize to be separated as one because it has an enough population. The land area of the Barangay is 246 hectares with a population of 543 as per census conducted. Lands are very much suitable for farming, fertile enough for good crops like rice and all kinds of vegetables.
So then it was baptized Barangay Bacar with the abundance of Bangar trees in the area.
