Inabanga

IJsselstein, Saturday, 14 January 2012

Inabanga is located on the west coast of Bohol, between Clarin and Buenavista. The Inabanga River which reaches the sea here was once infested with crocodiles. Every year, since time beyond recall a human life was lost through attack by a crocodile. The people, being superstitious in nature, believed that the yearly loss of life was the rent (abang) for the use of the river. Hence the name Inabangan River (Rented River). The Spaniards, however, had trouble pronouncing Inabangan and consequently called the place Inabanga. And so it has been to this day.

The people are engaged in trading, fishing, farming and nipa thatch-making. The women are weavers of saguran, mats, blankets, hats, mats, bags and basket.

The 2015 census gives a zero for population of barangay Riverside. Is it true? That the entire population of Riverside disappeared? Was it the 2013 earthquake - did the whole barangay crumbled? or is it that the Punong Barangay didn't put in the form?

We checked the data when we noticed this, and the Census indeed gives 0 for the population. We don't know what happened.--Jeroen.
