The barangay has 3 Puroks/streets. Each Purok have 2 Brgy Councilors as leader. It is nearby Lawigan River that is considered a danger/hazardous area especially during rainy days.

The topography of the land varies in its entire area. It has a flat/valley and mountainous land. The barangay covers 420 hectares of land, 100 hectares coco land, 30 hectares rice field, 80 hectares residential, 1 hectare school building lot, and 100 hectares undeveloped.

Based from latest survey, the barangay has a total population of 1,500 people, including children. It has 234 households stayed or occupied by 270 families. Almost half of the population ranges from age 0-18 years old.

The barangay is 7 km. far away from Poblacion. It needs transportation in transporting and buying goods. Jeepney is the first accessible transportation because of low fare.

The road is very rough and becoming worst especially during rainy days it is hard to travel especially the children in going to school during week days at this very moment, the brgy planned to ask assistance from the LGU to solve the problem through the area is hazardous.

Farming is the way of living of the people. But only 30 has certificates of ownership or land titles. The rest are tenants that pay rental of the land they are cultivated. Others raise farm animals to have an additional income for the family.

For health and nutrition, it has its own health center. There is one midwife assigned, 5 active BHW and 1 BNS.

On education, the barangay has a complete elementary grade level. It has 9 teachers. The school has a population of almost 200 pupils.

The barangay has adequate supply of water. Each household has connection with only P5 monthly payment for maintenance. In fact, Ayahag spring is the source of water from other barangays like Bolod-Bolod, Mahayahay, San Isidro, Himatagon, Malibago, Magbagacay, New Guinsaugon, New Sug-angon and New Ayahag. This is also the source of irrigation construc- ted for farmlands in Ayahag, Nueva Esperanza and Panian as organized by their association ANEPA.

The spring falls is one of the attraction in the locality. A lot of visitors and town folks visit Tinago Spring Falls because of the cool and fresh water.

The people are friendly, religious and open minded. Majority of the populace are affiliated with Roman Catholic religion. There are also members of PBMA, UCCP and INC.

Ayahag is one of the villages relocated to a new location due to the risks it carries to the residents brought by the fragility of its soil in the area. And from there, the whole New Ayahag people are determined to move forward for a new beginning!

The Barangay is located within the following boundaries North-Himos-onan, South-Carnaga, West-Atuyan and Catmon last boundary live of the Municipality of Hinunangan, with total area coverage of 539.535 hectares, land use of Agricultural 526.046 with residential of 10.790 and commercial is 1.079. Road measurement of 8.85 distance from Poblacion with 15 minutes travel ride from the town thru motorcycle at 30.00 pesos fare for one way only.

The Barangay has central streets and has seven Puroks with the average of 24 households in every Purok.

In the year 1910, the former Barangay Cabagawan, now barangay Maria Asuncion was under in Cabalian, Southern Leyte which is now San Juan, Southern Leyte . The Barangay during this time was just a sitio and it had only 15 households, the place was surrounded with a huge land in which there were many trees and bushes were growing. In short the place was not yet (civilized) developed.

The Barangay had a creek which is one half km. from the households. The creek was flowing from the forest down to the lowland near at this creek was called Cabagawan. It was choosen to be called as Cabagawan creek because of a very rare view and have different kinds of shells or (bagaw) in the creek, near the households, there was also another river flowing from the forest going down to the lowland where in the folks usually used it to take a bath, wash their clothes and get their food.

At 1930, under the leadership of the late Barangay Captain (tenyente) Francisco Salar, the Sitio Cabagawan became a Barangay Cabagawan, the name Cabagawan was always in the tongue of the people and sometimes became the topic of some jokes particularly to some people of the neigh- boring Barangay teased the old folks of the Barangay for being a shell (bagaw). This was the reason why the folks started to hate at to fight when somebody called them as bagaw.

Time came on 1985 the late Barangay Captain Francisco Astillo tried to change the name of the Barangay from Cabagawan to Maria Asuncion which is followed by the name of the Patron Saint, but all was in vain. During the administration of Barangay Captain Hon. Armando M. Paler Sr. together with his Sangguniang Barangay and with the concurrence of the majority of our constituents last assembly meeting dated September 14, this year. We are planning to have a plebiscite, changing or renaming Cabagawan to Maria Asuncion in honor of our Patron Saint.

History
The Early Beginning: Its Roots and Origin St. Bernard, the town, might have its humble beginning from a sleepy, swampy place called Himatagon on the mouth of Hitongao River before or on the early 1700 when the Visayan coastal waters were on a relative tranquility from the Muslim brothers of the deep South, who had occa sionally marauded Cabali-an, the mother town, notably like the brave Sultan Kudarat in 1600 as recorded by a Jesuit Chronicler in the pages of Philippine history.

The early settlers were possibly from Bohol, judging its proximity and by their culture even evident today. Hearing stories from their seafaring traders of the promised land, drove plain seeking and loving “Himatag” people of its rocky terrain province to his place, thus, and possibly and firstly, how it got its name, Himata-gon whose fertile valley or “patag” starts between the mouths of Hitongao and Lawigan Rivers up north to Guinla-yo-an, now barangay Catmon. The first wave of early people like all other riverine civilizations established their settlement along the mouth of the river principally of its rich sources of food and livelihood but also as the best means of transportation by boats on those days when roads of today were non- existing, thus Lawigan got also its name from the word “lawig” meaning to travel, and Hitongao, whose lush vegetations harbor the tiny skin parasites “tongao” causing the occupant to be “hitongoan”.

Since giant trees like piyape abound had to be pelled down (some remains are unearthed presently when the Auditorium today was erected) frontier-men have to wake up early “himata sayo sa kabuntagon” again and maybe the origin of its name also. The place were “palhe” abode and haunted by the “di ingon ato” on those lots of gigantic “dakit” around, as believed by the early forebears, sent shivers of fears that according to the stories handed from generations to generations, that whatever the color of the human waste of “guindaotan, that a great number of inhabitants met their deaths, thus again, the place was named “Himatyan” for sometime then. Those were the best years of the “Tambalan” with loud echoes of encantations in the woods were heard as a rescue, or “panghupay” to the afflicted.

The morbid story that what the settlers were on while working were the same clothing soiled by loose bowel released on the spot might be the effect of the very richness of its soil minerals that caused instant body disturbances and ill effect, did not stop the second wave of people arriving to occupy the place coming again from Bohol, particularly from Tubigon, Calape (where the boatbuilders are) Ubay, Talibon, Inabanga and Alecia and from the shores of Leyte fronting Bohol like maasin were their relatives settled who from political disturbances had sent them in this place.

Some early arrivals might have settled, starting from San Isidro now to Popong-on, where the Capili residence is, up to Bolodbolod beside their present school site along the river banks (a few years ago some porcelain wares and other remnants have been found along the river banks, a living testimony that it was inhabited there), others swung south to Partian across the river while the enterprising ones reached Tambis, Carnaga, Atuyan and Cabagawan north creating a snake-like trails, while the others established residences in Ayahag probably by boats like those sea-loving who choose Himbangan and Hindag-an along the coast. The river or the sea always played an important role to where the occupants were as history always confirmed.

Abacas were grown abundantly while corn raised principally as staple food and rice, a poor third, due to the late yielding varieties and absence of irrigation for the riverbeds before were so deep for soil erosion and river siltation were unheard of. The degenous “palaw” brought by the settlers, raised him abundance like all other South East Asian Pacific Islands, the native last food resource during “ting-gutom” month of March when corn and rice harvesting season was a month still to wait and especially also when the “lopok” or locust swarmed in millions devouring their crops coming from the lush vegetations and most possibly from the deeps of the rich porous soil.

Those were the days of the early frontier years of the original Himatagnon, homogenously grouped as farmers, simple, down to earth people, baked brown by the scorching heat of the sun, barefooted but so rich in the spirit of “inigsoonay”, so bare in necessities compared today, yet so abundant in caring each other, where the word “no” had no place almost in their hearts even to the extent of giving and sharing a part of their land clearings or exchanging it for a piece of “hunsoy” or earthen pot, a bottle of wine or a“kawit” of tuba, though classed as “Timawa” and “Ulipon” exploiting the native soil, their source of life, using bare callous hands and very primitive hand tools with almost nothing on their backs a some wore only “bahag” or G-strings working on the open fields have developed the place Himatagon and the suburbs before to be the Saint Bernard of today and tomorrow’s generations.

The possibilities that the area has been inhabited by the early seafaring Malays before and after the coming of Ferdinand Magellan who in history had been recorded to stop in Cabali-an nearby is not a remote idea, plus the local water basin has always been attracting settlers since time in memorial. And if the population growth and progress were quite extra-ordinary slow to our standards, that might be attributed to some plagues which occasionally happened to almost all early civilizations then as what had happened later among Himatagnons in almost every decade or score at the turn of every century before Second World War.

By the time came when people from bohol, Samar, cebu and other distant places they visited barangay Lipanto and they like the place, so, they decided to,live and stay they built their houses and started cutting the trees because they replaced it by coconut trees. Their livelihood that time was fishing and farming.

Barangay Lipanto is not a difficult place to locate because the main attractions of this Barangay are the two big stones in the middle of the sea. The first stone looks like a mountain and the other one looks like a frog. The constituents of the barangay called it “BATO” and they believed it was of the created our creature because it is special among the other barangays, they made the fish sanctuary of the Barangay.

History

Barangay Magatas is derived from the word “gatason” because the water flowing from the stream are “gatason “ in color and according of some research this is due to the kinds of trees found in the mountain area of Magatas.

Before it became barangay the place Magatas is former sitio in Barangay Atuyan and because of the effort of the aborigines namely Mr. Cecilio Dullano, Juan Toyhacao, Maximo Palen, Lucia Anora, Cornelio Silot, Juan Lebiios, Elino Lebios, Isyong Lebios, Marcelo Lebios sitio Magatas became barangay Magatas in 1938. And the first Punong barangay formerly known as Tenyente del Barrio is Mr. Cecilio Dullano.

And when the rock avalanche tragedy happened in Barangay Guinsaugon on February 17, 2006, barangay Magatas declared us one of the barangay who are not safe and high risk in danger.

Red Cross Village is located at the midway of Brgy. Catmon & Barangay Lower Bantawon. It is situated 9.977 kms. from the town proper. The relocation area is 4.5 hectares.

According to our historical sources with the confirmation of our folks, Barangay Mahayahay was initially came up in earlier part of the 20th century, before the WORLD WAR II.

A portion in the south of Pong-on was not easy to pass because of its hilly area but when you’re already on its peak, a relief of fresh air and an enchanting venue can absolutely make you fell a comfortable and refreshed, so most people especially the Camarines or the common laborers who used to spend their leisure time in the area used to call it HAYAHAY which means REFRESHING and was popularly known by the name MAHAYAHAY.

Due to its growing number of inhabitants and the desire to have its own identity, an appeal was passed to Municipal Government to make this area be separated from Himatagon and thereby recognized it as one Independent Barangay.

It was on December 9, 1954 when President Ramon Magsaysay issued Executive Order No.84 that converted barrio Himatagon as Municipality of Saint Bernard through the efforts of Leyte Governor Bernardo Torres, the name Barangay Mahayahay was subsequently given to this place through the efforts of Barangay Captain Juanito Pamaos and constituents with the cooperation and diligence of Municipality Mayor the late Graciano H. Capili. The word MAHAYAHAY was coined from the areas description as MAHANGIN and HAYAHAY and this name has been used to call this Barangay since then.

Ang mga tawo nga mamuyo niadto mao ang pamilya nila ni Awing Ortiz, Benito Pino, Pablo Inso, Aniano Santos, Luis and Pastora Medilo, Segundo and Leoncia Mosquito, and the Chinese migrants Lim Ching, Luya lim, and Tomas Lim ug diha pa’y daghang mga pamilya. Ang sentro sa barangay kaniadto mao karun ang gitukuran sa simbahan. Dinhing dapita ang communal activities sama sa basketbolan, volleybolan.

Ang Tinyente del Barrio niining tuiga 1930 mao si Awing Ortiz. Siya ang pirmerong tenyente del barrio ug napili ang ngalan San Isidro kay sila nga pagpuyo halos o kasagaran mga mag-uuma ug niining panahuna natukod ang unang kapilya sa San Isidro.

Sa tuig 1953 ang nahimong tinyente del barrio mao si Marcial Mosquito. Dinhi natukod ang bag-ong barngay site sa tuig 1957 ug mao na karon ang gitukoran sa basketball court, multi-purpose building, Day care building, Health Center o temporary barangay hall, Barangay stage ug nadugangan pa gyod ug laing luna dugang barangay site ug kining mga luna-a gi-subdivide ngadto sa mga lomolopyo para residential area.

Niining panahuna ang ngalan tinyente del barrio nausab ngadto sa ngalan nga Kapitan del Barrio.

Siya si Kapitan Marcial Mosquito ang nakapatukod ug barangay road paingon sa Poblacion (Himatagon). Sa panahon sa Marcial Law nagpabilin gihapon nga Kapitan del Barrio si Marcial Mosquito. Sa tuig 1972 natukod ang ngalan Sitio Ma. Socorro nga kaniadto ginganlan og Libo-o, gitukod ang balay alampuan sa Sitio Ma. Socorro sa ngalan sa Patron Inahan sa Kanunay’ng Panabang. Sa tuig 1980, ang iyang pagserbisyo sa mga katawhan sa barangay nahunong sa hinungdan nga nadasmagan sa motorsiklo panahon sa Barangay Brigade Activities ug siya namatay kaniadtong August 8, 1980.

The barangay Government of Sug-angon Shall OPT a Sustainable Develop- ment Program which shall pursued to promote, and ensure peace, Health Education and ecology sound manage environment.

History

Ang Barangay Sug-angon ay isa sa tatlumpong (30) barangay, isa sa pinakamaliit na barangay na bumubuo ng Saint Bernard, na isang 4th class na, municipalidad, sa may kanlurang bahagi nito ay malaking bundok ng Can-abag, sa silangan ang Tambis 2, sa Timog naman ay ang barangay ng Ayahag, at sa hilagang bahagi naman ay ang barangay ng Guinsaugon.

Sa kaliitan ng barangay na ito, ito ay nahahati lamang sa dalawang (2) purok na siyang pinamamahalaan ng mga itinalalagang opisyalis at Barangay kagawad bilang advisers. Ang lawigan River ay siyang nagsilbing pagitan na siyang naghihiwalay sa kanila sa barangay Tambis 2. Ang ilog na ito ay nagmumula sa kabundokan ng barangay Kauswagan at dumadaloy sa mga barangay ng Magatas, Guin saogon, Sug-angon, Ayahag, Nueva Esperanza at hanggang sa malaking tulay ng Panian at tumutungo sa karagatan ng Pacifico.

Ang kalupaan ng barangay ay may patag, maburol at bulubundukin. Ang bundok Can-abag ay siyang pinakamalaking bundok na siyang sumasakop ng barangay Guinsaugon at Ayahag. Ang puting bato makikita sa kaibuturan ng Sug-angon ay siyang nagsisilbing Landmark ng bundok Can-abag. Ang lupain ng Sug-angon ay mas mainam para sa pananim, dahil sa matabang lupa na bagay sa abacca, niyog, mga bungang kahoy, gulay, root crops at higit sa lahat ay palay.

Anim (6km) kilomitro ang layo ng barangay mula sa centro o Poblacion, at mararating ito sa pamamagitan ng pampasahirong dyip, motorsiklo sa pagbyeyahi dahil tatahak ito sa pinakamahabang rough roads mula sa crossing ng Barangay Panian hanggang Sug-angon. Kaya medyo mahal ang sisingiling pamasahi,lalong lalo na pag tag-ulan na may kahirapan sa pagbyahi ang mga dyip at motorsiklo. Kapag may malaking baha sa Lawigan River dulot ng malakas na ulan magmula sa Buwan buwan ng Oktobre hanggang Enero. Ang mga estudyante ng High School sa siyang nag-aaral sa Tambis National high school (TNHS), ay mas mahirapang nanawid sa malaking suba ng Lawigan. Kaya kadalasan ang iba ay nag e-enroll na lamang sa Cristo Rey Regional High School (CHRRS), kahit medyo may kamahalan ang tuition fee. Para hindi lang magambala ang kanilang pagpasok at makaiwas na rin sa disgrasya o aksidente. At ang iba naman ay sa pampublikong paaralan pumapasok tulad nang Himabangan National High School (NHHS) at Southern Leyte University (SLSU) sa San Juan o Cabali-an.

Ang kasalukuyang populasyon ng barangay ay 362. Ito ay binubuo ng 194 na kalalakihan at 168 na kababaihan. May 86 na bilang ng kabahayan na tinitirahan ng 91 na pamilya. At humigit kumulang na kalahati ng populasyon ay mga bata na nasa idad na 0-18 anyos. Pagsasaka ang pangunahing pinagkukunan ng kabuhayan ng mga tao. Pangunahing produkto ang palay, niyog, at abaka. May mga ng tatanim rin ng mani, monggo, at kamote. Bagamat karamihan sa kanila ay magsasaka iilan lamang ang mayrong sariling lupang pag-aari. Mula sa pinakahuling tala ng Department of agrarian Reform lamang sa mga taga brgy. Ay may Certificate of Ownership o Land Title. Ang natitira ay mga tenants at ang malaking bahagi ng kinikita ng mga ito ay napupunta sa pagbabayad ng utang at renta ng lupa. Ang iba naman ay naghahayopan upang makadagdag sa kinikita ng pamilya Karaniwan din sa kanila ay umaasa sa arawan na pasahod. Sa Centro ng barangay ang kalupaan ay may palayan at ito ay umaasa lang sa improvised canal na siyang nagbibigay sa patubig sa mga palayan kapag ito ay nasisira dulot ng baha noong nakaraang tag-ulan ang mga palayan na ito ay di natanim. Lalung lalo na rin at tagtuyut at mawawala ang tubig ng mga kasapaan na siyang nagbibigay panubig sa improvised canal hindi rin sila makapagtanim ng palay. Ang ibang residente ay nagtanim na lang ng kamote. Kamoteng kahoy, mais, gabi, mani, monggo at gulay.

Sa serbisyong kalusugan may Health Center sa barangay na may nakatalagang isang Midwife na siyang sumusubaybay sa kalusugan ng mga residente at kalinisan ng paligid para sa Clean & Green Evaluation. Mayroon ding dalawang aktibong (2 active) BHW o Barangay Health Workers at isang (1) Nutrition Scholar. Walang sapat na kagamitan panlunas ng ubo, sipon at lagnat. Ang mga pasyente ay napipilitang magpunta sa Municipal Health Center na nasa centro ng Lungsod ng Saint Bernard upang doon magpa kosulta at magkaroon ng gamut na ibinigay sa mga Philhealth members at sa hindi membro ay mapipilitang bumili ng gamut sa botika. At ang iba naman maniniwala sa hias ng mga halamang gamut at sumasangguni sa mga hilot at albularyo.

Sa larangan ng edukasyon, nasa barangay ang Sug-angon Primary school. Dahil sa kaunting populasyon ng kabataang pumasok sa elementarya. Ito ay may Grade 1 & combination ng klase na may isang guro na nagtuturo sa sampung (10) grade 1 pupils. Ito ay mga kabataan ng sug-angon.

May maayos na supply na tubig inumin sa barangay at masasabing ang serbisyo nito. Mayroong signal ang Globe at smart communication at napakalinaw ang signal ng mga ito. Ito ang nagsisilbing gamit lalo na kung may emergency. Sa pagkakaroon ng Cellphone ito Ito ang nagsisilbing gamit lalo na kung may emergency. Sa pagkakaroon ng cellphone ito lamang ang inaasahang paraan ng madaliang pakikipag-ugnayan. Ganon pa man, ilam lamang ang may kakayahang bumili ng sariling cellphone unit.

Kalakalan at transaksyon sa negosyo bagaman meron ay limitado. Ang bangko at komersyo ay naisagawa lamang sa pamamagitan ng dalawang local, na kooperatiba, ang (SIPMCI) San Isidro Multi-Purpose Cooperative nasa Poblacion. Masasabing palakaibigan at bukas sa pakikipag-ugnayan ang mga tao ng Barangay Sug-angon. Relihiyoso din sila at ang lingo ay itinuturing na sagradong araw kung kalian inaasahang ang lahat o karamihan ng tao ay titigil sa araw ng pag gawa at silay nasa simbahan o lugar ng panalanginan. At higit sa lahat ang relihiyosong katoliko pa rin ang aniyang nagsisilbing patunay sa taos pusong paniniwala ng mga tao sa barangay. Katunayan nito walang ibang kapilya o simbahan na tumatayong simbolo ng higit na paniniwala ng mga tao kundi ang nag-iisang simbahan ng katoliko lamang, na ating makikita sa sentro ng Barangay Sug-angon ang siyang nagsisilbing patunay sa taos pusong paniniwala ng mga tao sa barangay. Katunayan nito walang ibang kapilya o simbahan na tumatayong simbolo ng higit na paniniwala ng mga tao kundi ang nag-iisang simbahan ng katoliko lamang, na ating makikita sa sentro ng Barangay Sug-angon. Ang Tagbo o local na sistema ng bayanihan ay buhay sa komunidad sa pamamagitan ng mga impormal na organisasyon katulad ng dajong, gala at hungos. Sa dajong, nagkakatulongan ang mga tao na membro sa organisasyon sa pagbibigay ng kontribusyon sa namatayan ayon sa kanilang na napagkasundu-ang halaga. Gala naman ang tawag sa tulungan sa gastusin ng membrong ikakasal at Hungos naman ang pagtatrabaho-an ng pagtutulungan sa mga membro ng libreng askahan.

Sa transportasyon dyip o motorsiklo o habal habal ang pangunahing sasakyan noong dati ay may 4 na dyip at mga 10 motorsiklo habal habal ang regular na bumabeyahe. Ang huling byahe ng mga ito ay hanggang alas singko ng hapon lamang.

History

Ang Barangay Tambis II isa sa tatlumpong (30) barangay na bumubuo sa Saint Bernard. Dati itong bahagi ng Barangay Tambis I, pero dahilan sa pagpatuloy na paglaki ng populasyon ng barangay, ninais ng mga residente nito na magsarili ng pamahalaan. Sa tulong ng Mayor noon na si Graciano Capili at sa pagsisikap ni Simplecio Rufin Sr., kabilang nito ang residenteng gustong magsarili ito’y naging isang independenting barangay at pinangalanan itong Barangay Tambis II.

Upang matukoy ang lokasyon nito, nasa kanlurang gahagi nito ang Bara ngay Sug-angon na ang tanging pagitan ay ang ilog lawigan na tumutungo naman sa karagatang patungo sa Pacific Ocean. Sa hilaga, matatagpuan ang Barangay Bolodbolod, sa silangan Barangay Tabontabon at sa timog ay ang itinuturing nitong “Mother Barangay”, ang Tambis I.

Ang Barangay ay nahahati ng tatlong purok at sa bawat purok ay may makatalagang mga kagawad. Ang Purok I ay pinamamahalaan ng tatlong (3) kagawad at tigdalawang kagawad naman sa Purok 2 at Purok 3. Ilang bahagi ng lupain nito ay patag at iilan naman ay maburol at may bukid din. Apat na kilometro ang layo ng barangay mula sa Poblasyon at mararating ito sa pamamagitan ng multicab, dyip, at habalhabal. Katatapos lamang masemento ang kalsada nito kaya hindi na mahirapan magbiyahe. Ang kasalukuyang papulasyon ng barangay ay 872. May 477 lalaki at 395 babae. May 153 ang bilang ng kabahayan at 173 din ang pamilya. May higit kumulang ikatlong bahagi ng populasyon ay mga bata na nasa edad na 0 hanggang 8 taong gulang.

Ang pangunahing hanapbuhay nito ay ang pagiging magsasaka. Ang iba din ay nabubuhay sa pagpapasahod. Palay at niyog ang pangunahing produkto rito. Sa serbisyong pangkalusugan, may health center na may nakatalagang midwife at 5 aktibong BHW at 1 BNS na siyang gumagawa na referral slip upang mabibigyan ng serbisyo sa Rural Health Center ang mga pasyenteng nangangailangan na serbisyo.
