History
[edit] |
The first settlers in the area came fromBacon,Cagraray Islandor Casiguran which are geographically situated near Manito. In prehistoric time, theBicolanosfrom the above-mentioned places had shown evidence of civilization. Recently artifacts unearthed from this place both by Filipino and foreign anthropologist show that Bicol is indeed inhabited first by Bicolanos, not traders from foreign lands.[original research?]
In 1840, a few settlers the Visayas came and settled in the place near the coast of Manito, because of fear fromMoroinvaders. They officially established the place and named itManito,because it was abounding in clinging vine callednito,which belongs to therattanfamily and is used as raw material for making baskets. Whennitovines are artistically made into baskets, the finished products are natural dark brown in color similar to the color of coffee. The prefix "Ma" means "plenty", then Manito means "plenty ofnito".
Later, natives from the neighboring towns of Albay, Bacon, andRapu-rapuwho fled from the Moro raiders found a safer place near the seashore and near the thick west Of Manito. In the past this town was surrounded by thick forest that gave natural fiction — a haven of safety and comfort — to theVisayansettlers. Although they were brave and courageous, they lacked arms and ammunitions to fight the Moros.
In the early years of settlement, the center of this place that soon became the Poblacion had only a few scattered houses. As forests were cut, the cleared areas were planted withabacaand other crops. Due to the abundance of food and money which the people earned through the sale of their forest and agricultural products, Manito became a progressive settlement. But today it is left behind by neighboring towns. Forests are mostly denuded due to cutting in the 1980s, while replanting of trees has been neglected.
