History
Historical records show that sometime in 1910, a group of Higa-onons (highlanders) were the first to settle in the place. They were classified as Malay-Indonesian breed. The typical Higa-onon is a combination of three types: The Negrito mixture, the Visayan breed and the Eurpean-Indian Arab mixture. The early Higa-onons were nomadic but eventually settled down in a certain place at an indefinite time. They live in tree houses (batangan) or in a large house occupied by several families, raised in high stilts (tulugan) to escape the spears of the Magahats or Mangangayam (head hunters).
With the declaration of martial Law in 1972, PD 86 and PD 86 A and 210 were passed creating Barangays in the Poblacion or urban centers of the municipality and chartered cities where there were no legal barrios existing with the mayors of chartered cities and municipalities to extend formal appointments to Barangay Captain and Leaders in the area. With this provision as the basis, then Mayor Timoteo C. Ocaya appointed 20 barangay captains for the Poblacion alone. This was done in the middle part of 1973. The idea of creating 20 barangays in the Poblacion was patterned after the purok system because it was at this time where the purok leaders have shown their enthusiasm and willingness to serve the community. It was for this reason that the Municipal Mayor automatically appointed all the purok leaders as the Barangay Chairman and converted the puroks into barangays in accordance with law.
After a year of operation, Mayor Ocaya had sensed that the group of 20 Barangay Chairmen have become unwieldy and a number of Barangay Chairmen have signified their intentions to resign from their post. It was further argued that the population requirements as mandated in the loca lgovernment should be satisfied, meaning each barangay should have at least a minimum of 1,000 populace. In view of therefore going, the Municipal Council on December 1974, passed Resolution Nos. 146-74 and 249-74 and an Implementing Ordinance No. 87, 1974 reducing the number of barangays from 20 to 11 and appointing thereof their respective Chairman. As a consequence, merging of barangays has resulted as well as alteration of political boundaries was affected. Necessarily, the Municipal Mayor had to appoint another set of barangay officials resulting from its revamp. Barangay Number 1, manned by Atty. Manuel R. Valdez and Barangay 6, manned by Judge Alfredo Lagamon were merged into one and is now called Barangay 1.

5.Conducted Summer Tutorial Classes for English and Mathematics to all children of Malaybalay City Ages 6-12 years old. The tutorial classes tried to use various and interesting learning methods to fortify students’ memory. The program was an aid to the learners to cope up with the two specific subject fields and aims to provide learners effective learning skills that they may be able to use in formal school days. Learners who attended the tutorial classes meant that they were willing to acquire more knowledge for spending their time and participate actively in the lessons. The tutorial class ensures learners to have a better understanding because more effort has been paid to the subjects. Moreover, the main objective of the program was to reinforce the learning of the children in educational activities during the summer, to restore stability by giving the children something to focus on, work to complete and purpose in their days, to have social interaction with other kids and to assist those keen and enthusiastic learners with their learning.
