History of Boliney, Abra, Philippines
History of Boliney, Abra, Philippines
During the Spanish regime, Boliney was one of the barangayβs of the township of Manabo. It was only in 1918 that Boliney became municipal district. With the passage into law of a congressional bill in 1959, Boliney together with another municipal district, Danac,was merged into a single municipal district. The first election for the combined municipal districts was in December 1959.
Because boliney was once a part of Manabo, most of its first settlers around the 16th and 17th centuries are from Manabo belonging to the masadiit tribe. The masadiit tribe settled on mountains tops idenfied only by the presence of bamboo that they planted. By around 1700 however, the masadiit settlements were abandoned due to an epidemic that decimited the population coupled with constant attacks from tribal enemies. It is believed that some of the settlers went down to manabo and Bucay with some going to Narvacan, Ilocos sur.
By 1800, the abundant wild life of Boliney attracted hunters not only from Bucloc, Daguioman and Manabo but also from other places as far as mt. province and kalinga. Instead of bringing their provisions during hunting expeditions, these hunters made kaingins in their camps and planted rice and vegetables for their sustenance. Later on, thje hunters brought along with them their families and began constructing small houses where they permanently settled. (source verbatim from: www.abra.gov.ph/)
