Prior
to the advent of settlement, Cabarroguis is a vast forested area and form parts
of the municipalities of Saguday, Diffun and Aglipay. It is originally occupied
by the Aetas and later displaced by the Ilongot tribe because the Aetas are
known of their nomadic characters. Many years later, permanent settlement were
made by different civilized ethnic groups like Ilocanos,
Tagalog and others in
search of good fortune in this virgin land. As the population and settlement
increases, regular barrios were created. These are the barrios of Zamora,
Banuar, Burgos, Del Pilar, Dibibi, Eden, Villamor and five (5) more sitios of
Villapena, Villarose, Tucod, Calaocan and Dingasan at the municipality of
Aglipay: barrios of San Marcos, Gundaway and portion of Mangandingay at the
municipality of Diffun and the other part of Mangandingay at the municipality
of Saguday. The above stated barrios of different municipalities became the
territorial jurisdiction of Cabarroguis by virtue of Republic Act No. 5554
enacted by the Philippine Congress authored by then Honorable Senator Leonardo
Perez on June 21, 1969. The newly created municipality of CAbarroguis was named
in honor of the late Congressman of Nueva Vizcaya, Honorable Leon Cabarroguis.
Cabarroguis
operated as a regular municipality after the 1971 local polls wherein Honorable
Anastacio dela Pena become the first Local Chief Executive.. Barangay
Mangandingay also became the temporary seat of the municipal government, Years
later, when Honorable Diomedes Dumayas was appointed as the town’s executive,
the seat of the Local Government officially transferred to Barangay Zamora
where a 12 hectares lot was donated.
