As Pam travels across the expansive terrain of Surigao del Sur, she discovers these breathtaking gems within the Municipality of Lingig.๐๐
Step into the intriguing history of Lingig, where a humble barangay transformed into a vibrant municipality:
In the early 20th century, the stage was set for Lingig's journey. Originally just a barangay of Hinatuan, its destiny took an unexpected turn. Picture this: in 1920, Congressman Tiongco took a bold step by proposing a bill to carve out Lingig from its parent municipality. Imagine the anticipation as the bill received the nod of approval. On that momentous day, December 20, 1920, Executive Order No. 65 waved its magic wand, granting Lingig its autonomy.
The year 1921 dawned with excitement as Lingig donned its new status. March 21 marked the grand inauguration of this budding municipality. Picture the scene: a town brimming with promise, ready to make its mark on the map.
Situated at the southern tip of Surigao del Sur, Lingig's backdrop is the majestic Pacific Ocean. Imagine the ocean's whispers echoing through its history. Bounded by Bislig to the north, Boston of Davao Oriental to the south, and Trento of Agusan del Sur to the west, Lingig stands as a gateway to both land and sea.
Travel back further, to the Spanish era. Lingig was a mere barrio under the shadow of the prosperous Hinatuan. Envision a bustling Hinatuan, hailed as the region's gem due to its abundant h**p, copra, timber, and fish. Amid this bounty, Lingig remained a hidden treasure, known for its alluring resources โ gold, minerals, and vast lands that magnetized settlers from distant corners.
Today, as Lingig stands proud, its history whispers tales of evolution, independence, and a legacy shaped by its bountiful embrace of nature's gifts.
