History

The name Halabangbaybay is a Bicolano word which means "long beach". Long before the Bicolano fishermen from mainland Bicol particularly those coming from Nagas,Oas, Albay used to stay in a long white beach located in the eastern part of Burias Islang which they named as Halabangbaybay. They are attracted with the scenic view of the area and the abundant marine products.
The first group of families which came and stayed permanently at the place were the Matarondo family followed by Ello and Dongon families. Before the white beach of Halabangbaybay was not attached to the island of Burias with approximately 100 meters distance from the land. The beach was covered with mangroves but due to the erosion of top soil from the hilly portion of burias island, the long white beach was not attached to the mainland. It was in 1960s when group of cebuanos from Leyte, Cebu and Masbate provinces came to stay in the place due to its rich and abundant fishing ground and farmlands.
The first progressive commercial area in San Pascual in 1960s was in Halabangbaybay because a Chinese merchant named Jose Uy brought to the place complete merchandised items including hardwares and fishing supplies but because of the bad attitude of some bicolanos, he went back to Cebu to secure his family.The first big corn mill in San Pascual was also in Halabangbaybay owned by Chiquito Jao from Pio-V Corpus Masbate.
