HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

It is said by the elders that a long time ago there were trees that thrived in the area. It

has a heart-shaped leaves about a man’s palm size and bear a light yellow and pink

flower called Banago Tree. Because it is abundant in the area, you can immediately see

them whenever you are in the place. People living in the neighboring areas usually

mentioned the name “Banago” whenever they will visit the place which is the name of

the tree abundantly thriving in this locality, thus Barrio Banago got its name. It was

extinct for some time that people especially the younger once did not see any more this

plant species until the Leadership of Punong Barangay Arnel E. Benjamin bring back this

tree planted in some of the strategic areas including in the Banago Elementary School 1

for the young people to see and educate themselves about one of the symbol of the

Barangay.

In 1850, Barangay Banago was officially named Barrio Banago by the Gobernadorcillo.

Spanish influence was dominant in this place. For generations the head of the Barangay is

called “Deligado” who is appointed by the Mayor of the City of Bacolod, which lasted

until the Commonwealth Era. During the liberation, the head of the Barangay is called

Barrio Lieutenant and was revised as Barrio Captain by RA # 3590 in 1963. During the

Marcos Regime, it was again changed to Barangay Captain and finally in 1991, it was

changed to Punong Barangay and is still being adopted today.

During the Spanish time, education was done at home in the form of tutorship and later

primary school was established in the Barangay.

Means of transportation was done by wooden boat for farther destination, but most of

the inhabitants use to walk along the shoreline in going to nearby communities to do

their trade and commerce.

Most of the inhabitants were fishermen and fishing is still the dominant source of living

of the majority today.

Drainage

Barangay Banago is one of the densely populated Barangay of Bacolod City and drainage system

is a problem. Efforts in educating the constituents is still to be enhance that throwing or

disposing their garbage in the waterways, including the culvert drainage which use to clog

especially during rainy days is causing problems cause by floods.

Main Drainage system of Barangay Banago Proper is already outdated and need to be replace by

bigger one. Drainage system at Purok Katilingban passing the area of Domingo Lacson National

High School and Sta Clara Phase 2 going to the floodway system at Purok Maabi-abihon and

Purok Riverside had to be upgraded. Since some box culvert and concrete drainage are already

broken settled inside the drainage system adding to the problem of clogging the drainage. The

drainage system from Purok Lilang going to Petron Gas Station and Purok Langis have to be

upgraded also. Every time there is a rain , the area is a catch basin for run-off rain water that

make the Petron Gas Station a Big Swimming pool.

Water and Air Quality

Like other barangays in Bacolod City. Barangay Banago has good air quality, being a coastal

Barangay. In general, Barangay Banago once has good water quality as most of its artesian wells

supply good potable water. But noticeably in the later part many artesian wells are no longer use

for drinking because of salt water intrusion of the water level. Many of these artesian wells are

not been rehabilitated after the water is getting salty. Sea, river and creek waters are already

polluted due to the direct waste disposal by the residents and some of the commercial

establishments & factories. During low tides, the shoreline area is swarmed with garbage

specifically non-biodegradable materials such as plastics, etc.

Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM)

Flood, Fire, Storm surge are the main concern of Barangay Banago, historicaly and geographically

these are the natural disasters most likely to happen and in fact happened already. Barangay

Banago has already identified some of the major evacuation centers if there is a disaster like
