Guling comes from the Ilocano word meaning to mark, smear or make a sign. In the olden days, the chieftain (now mayor) of the town would imprint the sign of the cross on a person's forehead using wet, white rice flour. The color white was significant in that it meant purity. Through this marking, a person was cleansed of all his past sins. Last Updated (Tuesday, 28 February 2012 10:19) |
Brief History of Paoay

Written by Ruth |
Paoay was derived from the phrase, makapaway kami, which literally means, “We can live alone”. When the early settlers were frequently attacked by the tirongs, they were forced to move eastward. In their view settlement site, they discovered that they have neighbors, now Batac town. Believing that the tirongs are still a threat to them, their neighbors convinced them to seek refuge in their place. The settlers begged off, and bravely replied, makapaway kami! Through the passage of time, the place was eventually and permanently called Paoay. Last Updated (Friday, 03 February 2012 13:59) |
