History

Formerly, Barangay Umilig was one of the early settlements of the Christian converts by the Spanish. A Spanish friar, Fray Leon Sanz introduced festivity as a celebration for the residents of the particular place or area. The natives and residents of the neighboring barangays came to gather and enjoy the activities. Fr. Sanz, was a jolly enthusiastic and good fellow and, was very popular in the village. Festivities were celebrated every full moon throughout the year.

Another added attractions and interests for the visitors were the native mestizas. It seems everyone who came, joined and participated in every activities were full of energy and enjoyed until the end of the activities-  “Ang sinadya diri naga-ilig”, while an overview of the bluish seawater could be seen afar. Evidently, the place was popularly known as “sa ilig”. Lately, on 1931, the place was called “Umilig”.
