Lindang: What's in a Name?
By virtue of Senate Bill passed in the late 50s, Diplahan which was originally a part of Municipality of Malangas, has achieved its right to become a Municipality. Having passed the law, Brgy. Lindang was one of the Barangays that have been included in Diplahan.
There are a lot of legends as to the origin of the barangay. According to folklore, Brgy. Lindang was once inhabited by a group of Subanens. Their princess named Linda, was then forced to marry a man he rarely knew. The wedding rites did not pursue because Princess Linda chose to end her life instead. Her remains was buried and have been a part of the barangay. Hence the name Lindang. |
