Origin of the name of barangay Calaya
In this picture we interview one of the elders in the barangay
Calaya named Mang Keriko. He is telling us the history of his barangay.
According to him, the name Calaya means withered, for every summer almost everything
in that place is withered, and his elders says “this place is so Calaya for
almost everything here is withered especially the grass”. That is the origin of
the name Calaya.
Belief of the Elders
During the interview we asked him about his belief in aswang,
Kama-kama, tikbalang, fairy, kapre, sigben, and other kinds of demonic forces,
and he said that he didn’t believe those things unless he will see it with his
naked eye. We asked him also of his rituals before he did something like making
mat or farming if he did a prayer, ritual, or “orimus” and he says that doing
work is not a matter of rituals, but a matter of hard work, discipline, and
dedication. In short he didn’t believe those things. We interviewed lot of
elders in Barangay Calaya and almost of them don’t believe in superstious
beliefs.
