Ilio-Ilio

During the early days, when the people living in this barrio go to town, they stayed long in the town because the distance was too far for them. As they were in the town, they felt homesick (“mailiw” in Ilocano). Also when they were in the barrio the same thing happens. As time goes on, this attitude of the people happens to them always. It was during the year 1901, when Don Lucas Bonilla was a Councilor, the people agreed to establish the barrio. Because of the attitude (mailiw) of the people when they were in the barrio or in the town, they agreed to name the barrio “ILIW-ILIW”. Since that time, “ILIW-ILIW” was its historical name.

“NGATO” (means TAAS) was its past popular name. It was a long time ago before the establishment of its present official name when there was only two houses standing on this place and the people living nearby this place called “NGATO” because of its location and situation. People coming from any direction go up in going to the place for it is located on the top of a hill. The name was established since the original families claimed to stay in this place.
