Pula
BRIEF HISTORY
Long time ago, Barangay Pula was merely occupied by huge trees, herbs, shrubs and many other different kinds of plants. It was discovered by a man from San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur, who came to the area in search for fertile land to till.
On his way, he passed through the rivers of Amburayan and Chico which meet at a certain part that form a deep part of the fresh water where different kinds of fish and edible species thrive.
Because of this sufficiency, charm and freshness of the river, he hurriedly dug the soil and found a rich loamy clay type of soil suitable for farming. He hurriedly went back to San lldefonso to tell his family and relatives that he had finally found the land they were looking for. The man and his family came back to the fertile land and built their homes and started cultivating the lands.
Years went by and the other relatives from San Ildefonso kept on asking the name of the fertile land. This brought the man into deep thoughts and started to think what suitable name will be given to the land.
Until one day, when they were having their lunch at the fields, the red juice of their viand “simmered crab” accidentally dripped to the soil. One member of the family had noticed that the juice of the simmered crab and the soil are alike in color. In the Ilocano dialect he said “Amang Kitaem Didyay Daga Kasla Pula ti Kappi”.
Since then the fertile land was named “Pula” because of the red color of the soil that is red as that of the juice of the crabs that are caught in the fresh waters of rivers.
