BarangayPingad.... The center of southern Sabangan in the early days. Pingad is the oldest name for all of the 9
barangay of upper Sabangan. The communities under Pingad in the early days
were: Bao-angan, Bun-ayan, Busa, Camatagn, Capinitan, Gayang, Namatec, and
Napua. Now these communities are all independent barangay, governed by their
own barangay officials. The name "Pingad" as story say was derived
from a "kankana-ey" word "pingod" which means to remove ear
or ears. In early days when tribal conflicts were practiced, warriors from this
community bring home ear or ears from fallen enemy as their trophy and as a
sign of bravery. The tribal elders believed that warriors from Pingad are brave
and furious warrior and are known for their cruelty and viciousness. Read more here www.epingadak.blogspot.com
