A barangay that grew along the river
Hiyas ng Ilog began as a fishing settlement on the north bank, where boats from the bay unloaded for the town market. When the bridge was built, families settled on both banks, and the seven puroks took the names of the trees and flowers that grew there.
Today it is a mostly residential barangay with a school, a health station, two chapels and a covered court. The river still floods in heavy rain, which is why so much of this site is about knowing where to go.
