History of Alangalang
It all started one time when one of the Spanish Missionaries came into a group of natives trying to get over to the other side of a creek. Said creek was not that wide to need a bridge but seemed wide enough for leaping across. It was also too deep and steep to be waded through. One who would want to go over to the other side would always experience a point of indecision.
