Don Matias

At that time, Don Isidro National is a Sangguniang Member of the Municipality of Burgos. He  passed  a  resolution  to  separate  Sitio Cabayogan  in  order  to  become  a  barangay  and  that  resolution  was  approved  in  the  Sangguniang  Panlalawigan  at  Lingayen,  Pangasinan.

The  land  area  where  the  elementary  school  and  the  barangay  hall is situated  was  donated  by  Don  Matias  Borricano  Bustamante , so  after  his  death  the  barangay  was  named  after  him.
