THE LEGEND OF BARANGAY MARATUDO
Maratudo is one of the small Barangays of Magsingal which is located in the eastern part of the town at the foot of the mountain called Samsamon. It is seven kilometers away from the town. This Barangay is bounded in the north by Dupit river, in the east by Samsamon mountain, in the south by Subsubusob river, and in the east by Tagator river. People go to the town by means of riding a cart or sometimes walking along the river.
Maratudo means rainy. During the early days and up tpo the present, this Barangay has always the first rain and very frequent at that. One day a stranger and a merchant as well came to the place. He stayed there for almost a year. He asked the people what is the name of the place but the people could not give him an answer. Since the stranger observed that this Barangay always received the earliest rainfall and rain was very often, he then named the place “Maratudo”.
