INTRODUCTION

The Barangay is the smallest local government unit that

composes municipalities and provinces. It plays the most important

role for the success of the higher local government unit because

through it, the goal of the municipalities will be materialized by its

help. This smallest local government unit is guided by the Local

Government Code that provides laws that the Barangay is obliged to

follow. In the said code it is stated that the Barangay Council is

composed of the Barangay Chairman and seven Councilors. It is also

states that it must have two appointed officials that will serve as

Barangay Secretary and Barangay Treasurer.

On other hand the residents of each barangay that composes the

Barangay Assembly must know the provisions stated in the new code

for their welfare. The most effective way to immediately put in hand

and materialize the goal of having economic stability and progress of

our country is through, the Barangays wherein the first step of

progress is started as well as the initiation and implementation of laws.

The barangay is a political and a progressive level of the local

government that serves as the primary unit that traces and

implements the government laws, plans, projects as well as other

activities for the welfare of its citizens. It also serves as the way

wherein collective opinions of the citizens can be expressed, and be

considered and clarified through initiatives and referendum. It also the

first step in settling the misunderstanding and troubles between

residents, as not to go further.

COMMUNITY SETTING

Historical Background

Barangay Langkaan 1 was originally a part of the landholding

called “Haciendas” of the Spanish friars during the Spanish Regime.

The Spaniards constructed several irrigation dams. One of this is the

famous dam called the San Agustin dam located at the western

boundary of the Barangay. It was completed in the year 1855. The dam

has an underground canal dug across the field towards the east and

finally connects the other river. A concrete water passage or overpass

waterway was built to service indigo plants located in this place. A

concrete enclosement wherein indigo was extracted into dyes can be

traced until now. It serves as a landmark of Spanish influence.

Formerly, the barangay was just a small sitio which later became

a progressive village. The name of the barangay came from a few

villagers who cultivated a certain spot which they planted with

jackfruits. The small plantation was then called Langkaan which was

established around 1900.

During the early years, Langkaan was composed of two sitios.

Four kilometers directly south of the barrio lies the sitio Humayao and

in the southeastern part, the sitio of Capdula which nestled on a hilly

plateau. After this, the area of Asyungan was added to the barangay.

The barangay is composed of high and flat elevated lands which

are suitable for farming. Several rivers serve as irrigation in the rice

fields located in the Municipality of Dasmariñas and its nearby barrios.

It also contributes to the drinking water needs of the whole town.

Waterfalls could also be found in these rivers. These are the

Pinaghulugan falls and the Kakanlog Falls.

Sugarcane has been grown for a very long time but it was the

Spaniards who turned it into a profitable crop because by the middle of

the 17th century it became our leading export to other countries. The

barangay folks engaged in sugar planting. The place has several sugar

mills called “trapiche” and the carabao was used in place of a machine

in turning the mills. The owners of the panucha industry were the late

Don Placido Campos and Andres Medina.

By the coming of the Americans in the country, the place

attracted many settlers from the poblacion in the year 1920 up to

1930. They are the families of De Lima, Bautista, Empeño, Laudato,

Medina, Quillao, Remulla, Reyes, Sango, Satsatin, Sarabusab, and

others. During the American Occupation, love and respect from the

aroused people were tamed by means of money, food, clothing, and

jewelries. There was a sona facing the people to move to the town

which were surrounded by fences. They used diplomacy and money in

winning the people.

They introduced the new form of democratic government.

Barrios were organized and headed by the Tiniente Del Barrio headed

by higher officials.

Health and community was cared for and education of the

masses begun in the year 1941.

During World War II, the Japanese had a large plantation of

cotton in this barrio. The villagers were forced to work in the farm with

low compensation. Everyday they were obliged to work in the farm.

The place was also noted for its camps of guerillas in the whole

province during the Japanese occupation.

General Castañedas unit lived in this barrio for a long time.

Other units took advantage of the weakness of the people. They

robbed, corrupted and vandalized the populace.

Among the historical events in Langkaan was when the people

used to hide and sleep in the forest fearing that Enong, a spy of the

Japanese knew about the guerillas staying in the barrio.

After the proclamation of Martial law, the barrio became

progressive. The peace and order situation were rid of undesirable

elements.

The rural development is being undertaken by the government

under the New Society. New roads and concrete bridges were

constructed connecting Dasmariñas with other neighboring towns. The

government provided more artesian wells in the community. The

Barangay has now a complete elementary school and a modern

Barangay Health Center.

In addition, a big and modern aluminum plant Reynolds

Philippine Corporation was setup in the year 1980. And by the 1990’s,

the First Cavite Industrial site was set up in the property of NDC-

Marubeni.

In the year 1990 Langkaan was divided into two barangays

covering Resolution No. 359-90 this divided the Barangay into

Langkaan I and Langkaan II. Langkaan II covers the sitios of Humayao,

part of Cityland subdivision and part of First Cavite Industrial

Corporation.

By September 18, 1990, from the Resolution No. 82-A-S-90 which

created a new barangay out of the mother barangay was to extend the

maximum benefit of basic services rendered by the local government

unit.

In September 12, 1990, from the Resolution No. 108-S-90, a

resolution amending Resolution No. 82-A-S-90 of the Sangguniang

Bayan of Dasmariñas:

RE: Creation of New Barangay as mandated by law.

With the massive rural development program the barrio has a

potential to become a progressive and industrial barrio because of the

big corporations which started to buy hundred of hectares of land for

future development.
