Etymology

Once in the not so distant past, a nomadic tribe wandered down south. Finally, they settled upon a place attuned to their needs and liking. The place was traversed by a zigzagging creek swollen with clear sparkling water were on its banks grew in abundance wild Malayan trees called “Balangas” (now popularly known as Rambutan). The trees were full of attractive bloody red but juicy and delicious fruits, clustered in their very green foliages. Because of fanatical attachment of this tribe to these balangas trees, they decided to name their settlement “Kabalangasan”.
