Gayang Sabangan Moutain Province

          Gayang is the third barangay of Sabangan that lays on the foot of mount kalawitan and beside the chico river. The other barangays are Napua and Poblacion Sabangan. It is surrounded by lush rice fields and vegetable farms. The name Gayang is derived from the local "kankana-ey" dialect  "gayang" to throw or pitch. In Ilocano term, "gayang" is spear. 

       The main product of this agriculture rich barangay are rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbages, carrots, green paper, peanut and etc. Rice from this barangay are purely organic and are good in making rice wine or "tapey". Rice paddies in this village are older than the village it self. 

       Story has it that Gayang was a hunting and fishing ground for people from Pingad. Then when they learn that the soil in this area was good for planting because it is fertile and with abundant water supply, the villagers started to build rice paddies. There were no houses but only  small rice granaries are built to store harvest, but soon villagers recognizes the possibility of staying and living where their farms are, then the community starts. There are three smaller villages of this barangay namely "Ladeg, Datacan, and Gayang". Ladeg is located on the foot of "mount Tiguing" the boundary between Camatagan and Gayang.
