History
The barangay was once called Candungao, from the Cebuano word dungao (to look through, or to peep), because it serves as a window for residents due to its proximity to the island municipality of Pres. Carlos P. Garcia.
An incident occurred when many residents refused to pay their taxes and a local judge paid on their behalf. After that, the barangay was renamed Tapal, which means to patch or fill in Cebuano.
