This history of the premier Barangay was base from an interview taken from the old Folks known as the first settlers as this was then a part of Barangay Calanan. The first occupant of this wide track of land before the settlers was the Matanao and his wife.

This couple was not blessed for an heir to inherit their poverty their property. Then the Governor of the Mountain Province,

Bado Dangwa took interest of the said land and declaired it as his pasture land and a certain Dela Penia declared Ngipen and some part of Madapdappig while below Ngipen, Takao, Aquino, and Manao declared it.

Later in 1946, Tangkib bought the declared by Dela Penia and likewise Ottao, Massagan and Cagdan. These buyers come from different tribes like Naneng, Pasil and Guilayon.

They are the first to settle at Madapdappig known as Dam Site, the other parts of the land were occupied by different ethnic like Ilocanos, Igorots who settled the land of Aquino.

Later in 1959 a group of farmers from Tingyan proper led by Bugalan Angog, Francisco “Paltog” Macaiba, Francisco Taguitag, Fachunga, Fagyan, Siddayao and others come and settled occupying the abandoned Chico River bank known as Isla.

These groups bought the portion adjacent to the land they occupied and cultivated. There and then, they were owned by the immigrants of Tinglayan.

It was only in the opening of the Chico River Irrigation System in 1978 that this Barangay was swarmed by relatives, clan members and tribesmen of Tinglayan.

In 1986, there was an election by consensus at the Barangay level and the candidates for Barangay Captain for Barangay Calanan are Mr. ROLA and Mr. PUYOC,

because Mr. Puyoc lost in this election by 25 votes, he filed a petition to declare the election Null and Void and request for the re-conduct of the election which was then granted.

When the scheduled date of the re-election come, instead of conducting re-election, a dialogue was conducted between the followers of Mr. Rola and the followers of Mr. Puyoc mediated by the late Provincial Secretary Mr. Felicisimo Mundo.

Both parties mutually agreed to separate Barangay Calanan into two setting the boundary from damping area crossing the National Road to the Dangwa Fence straight to the mountain.

The existing fund of Barangay Calanan was also divided into two at Four Thousand Pesos (P 4,000.00) each. When everything was settled and agreed upon, Mr. Martin Puyoc invited everybody to a celebration at Isla.

During the celebration of Victory, the first Barangay officials of the new Barangay were named.

The Provincial Government under Provincial Ordinance No. 87 – 001 on March 7, 1987 granting the creation of Barangay Bado Dangwa from the Barangay Calanan as separate and distinct Barangay.

The newly created Barangay was named Bado Dangwa in honor of the late Ex -governor and Congressman

Bado Dangwa not only for his benevolent and kindness to the Tinglayan settlers who used to be his farm workers but also because the wider portion of Dangwa lands within Barangay Calanan now belong to the new Barangay.
