BRIEF HISTORY

Barangay Bio derived its name from the wild tree that abounds in this place. How it derived its name is narrated in a story handed down from generation to generation.

There was once a stranger who was stranded in this place. As he was resting under the shade of a tree, a native of the place came down from the hill after gathering firewood. He also stopped to rest under the tree. The stranger was curious about the name of the place so he asked the native. The native being illiterate and could not also understand what the stranger was asking thought that he (stranger) was asking the name of the tree they were resting under so he answered “BIO”. The stranger then spread the news that one of the place where he chanced upon in his travels was “Bio”.
