Brief history of the Barangay


    The first inhabitants of Sulipat were the Subanens. One of the native is a man named Lumangkay Sumaway. He is a respected leader of the area and had named the barangay “Sulipat”

    Lumangkay Sumaway christened Sulipat on the basis of the two creeks in the area that form a letter S and the source of the aforementioned creeks. They were   unknown in the area along with the bigger creek on the East, which was named “Sulipat Daku” and the area along the smaller creek on the west, which was named “Sulipat Gamay” upon survey and verification. The source of water of both creek runs to Langaran River.

    Years later, a certain Antonia Mulit Ones (Tuyang) initiated a move to change “Sulipat” to Rizal with unknown reason but to no avail. The residents of the area were against the proposition due to its real meaning basing on the two (2) creeks forming letter S and due to their respect and in honor of Lumangkay Sumaway as its founder and respected leader in the past.
