History & Identity

Created
The Municipality of Lebak was organized by Executive Order No. 195 of President Elpidio Quirino, dated December 31, 1948, from the municipal districts of Lebak and Salaman, with its seat at the sitio of Kalamansig; the order took effect immediately.[9]

Its story

The town's own history says the earliest known people of the area were Manobo, and that the land was ruled in two parts by cousin sultans, Dewig Tuna in the west and Datu Dangayan Pagayonan in the east.[11]

Under American rule a Muslim leader, Ama ni Idong Guiabar, was appointed in 1908 by the military governor to govern the Kalamansig and Lebak areas.[11]

Settlers from the Visayas and Luzon arrived in waves from about 1925 to 1930, many working first at plantations such as the one at Barurao established in 1927.[11]

During the Japanese occupation a local provisional government with its seat at Barurao was organized after General William Fertig appointed Marcelino A. Concha military governor of Cotabato.[11]

Under Executive Order No. 82 of 1947 Lebak and Salaman were municipal districts under Kiamba and Dinaig; they were then reduced to barrios for low revenue, and in 1948 united as the Municipality of Lebak.[11]

The seat of government moved from Kalamansig to the barrio of Salaman by Executive Order No. 432 of April 12, 1951.[12]
