 * OK, thanks Jondel, will look at the Calintaan history again, when I have more time....For the other municipalities, I'll do as you suggested, rewrite...I need to discuss with the researcher...as he might get sensitive to getting his stuff rewritten. To me it is not a problem though....anyways, I will deal with it. Thanks. I am very interested in Tambayan, but obviously I am still learning the ropes here, so do not even know where to find things. Thanks again....

History of the seven barangays of Calintaan
Note: I am not sure if this is how to start a new page, so this is a trial. And I would appreciate feedback, if I am doing something stupid.

Concepcion
The barangay of Concepcion was first called Bingag by the Mangyans (specifically of the Tau Buhid tribe) who lived in the area. Bingag was also the name of the river passing through the village.

A large portion of Bingag was still a forest when World War II broke out. To avoid the Japanese soldiers, the Mangyans belonging to the Tau-Buhid tribe hid in the mountains.

After the war, the Mangyans returned to their kaingins. Four years later, the Olivar family from Cebu, Zamora family from Calapan and Impacta family from Ilin arrived in the village. They cleared the forested area of Bingag. Later on, families of farmers from the island of Maningning, province of Antique, including families from Romblon who were looking for land to till, settled in this place.

When farmers from other provinces flocked to Bingag, the Tau Buhids transferred to the mountains. Eventually, Bingag became a sitio of Iriron which in 1949 was a barrio of the municipality of Sablayan.

Heeding the request of the residents, Bingag was created as a barrio of Sablayan in 1951. In the same year, the government opened an elementary school in the village. Through the leadership of Teniente del Barrio Juan Francisco, the residents constructed a school house made of nipa and lumber. After many years, with the help of the provincial officials, a concrete structure for the school was built.

When Fr. Erich Stottok, SVD served as parish priest of Calintaan during the latter part of 1950’s, he built a chapel in Bingag. The Catholic faithful enthroned there the image of their patron saint, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. They were able to convince their leaders to change the name of their barrio to Concepcion, in honor of their patron saint.

When Calintaan became a municipality in 1967, Concepcion was one of the barrios placed under its jurisdiction. The following year, through the initiative of Teniente del Barrio Martin Zamora, the barrio site was surveyed. Lots were set aside for residential purposes, plaza, market, school campus, barangay hall and other public buildings.

During the martial law period, the national highway connecting the different municipalities in mainland Occidental Mindoro was constructed. It passed through Concepcion. This greatly helped push economic progress in the community. Restaurants sprouted along the highway and served as stopovers for travelers.

In 1976, Calintaan Municipal High School opened an extension class for first year students in Concepcion. Years later, due to the increase in enrolment and the construction of concrete buildings, what started as extension classes became Concepcion Barangay High School. In 1993, it was elevated to the status of a national high school.

The barangay hall of Concepcion was built during the term of office of Barangay Captain Marcelo Gallardo [insert term of office]. It was improved and made bigger by his successor, Barangay Captain Rogelio Francisco [insert term of office].

Aside from the aforementioned leaders, those who served as teniente, capitan del barrio and barangay captains of Concepcion were Martin Narciso, Sesinando Olivar, Sr., Hulian Macawile, Sr., Angel Zamora, Villardo Macawile, Roque Batolio, Gregorio Quinton, Leonor Batolio, Exequiel Batolio, Eulogio Quiñones and Rogelio Francisco. The leader of the barangay at present [2007] is Barangay Captain Francisco Julian, Sr.
