History of Barangay Guadalpe
Formerly Guadalupe was a village or sitio under Barrio Gabas known as Utod.
The word utod means "cut" in English. An equally viable story, mostly known is that Utod got it name as by product of sawing "Gabas". So, the product of sawing is a piece of something being cut or done.
Historically, a Barangay is relatively a small community of around 50 to 100 families, Most villages has only 30 to 100 houses and the population varies from 100 to 500 persons. According to Legazpi, he found communities with 20 t0 30 persons only. Many coastal villages in Visayan region consisted of no more than 8 to 10 houses. The word itself derived from ancient Malay boat called Balangay. It is commonly believed in precolonial Philippines, each coastal Balangay formed as a result of settlers arriving by boat.
Below are pictures of typical Philippine scene during the early 50's. Note the pictures are not from Utod but relatively common activities during that time.
Women carrying bamboo poles "SAG-OB"used to fetch water or to haul coconut sap(tuba) to be marketed to local sari-sari store.
