History
Barangay Bongbong was named after the Bagakay used as walls in houses. In the Visayan language, Bongbong means wall. Bongbong became a separate barangay from San Pascual on December 15, 1968. However, residents celebrate its Barangay foundation day every May 15, the reason being that many people feel comfortable and also less in dire straits in May than in December.
