A story handed down from the early residents of the Barangay about how this palce got its name. Long ago, the Barangay was covered with thick forest with wild animals and birds. One day while the villagers were having their noonday rest in theier cogon huts, they heared an unusual sound. The strong and brave, curious to know what the sound was, left their huts in a hurry with their spears and dogs and proceeded to the direction of the sound. It was not long before they caugth a sight of the biggest deer in the world. They set a strong trap near the south of the Magsungay creek because they believed that the deer must be very thirsty and they anxiously watched the trap. After a while they heard a faint rushing sound and it grew louder and louder and a few seconds later the biggest deer in the world was running towards the trap. The villagers had a big feast after that, since that time, people called the place"TANGAB" which means trap in English.
