Etymology
[edit]The name Buug was derived from the wordbog,aSubanenword forsecondary forestwhich is the same as the Cebuano-Visayan termbuog.Accordingly, a group of Subanens stumbled upon thisbogthat was endowed with a stream and sufficient supply of water while they were moving from one place to another in search of a safe place to start a living away from marauders who were in search for slaves and things to loot. From then on people began to refer to thebogas Buug.
History
[edit]Buug grew into a thriving community through the initiative of thetimuays,the Subanen chieftains, who held leadership of the community. A school was opened which drew in the first trickle ofSubanon,Cebuano,and otherVisayansettlers. When the Samar Mining Company (SAMICO) opened the Sibuguey project in 1957 at Bobuan (now part of the municipality ofBayog), the next group of settlers flooded in. More people came when the Pagadian-Zamboanga National Highway reached Buug in 1958. The highway is part of thePan-Philippine Highway(also known as the Maharlika Highway and AH26).
Buug was originally abarangayof the municipality ofMargosatubigand became a baranggay ofMalangaswhen the former was divided in 1951. It became a municipality through Executive Order No. 380 issued by PresidentCarlos P. Garciaon February 2, 1960. Instrumental in the formation of the Municipality of Buug was the persistence of Mr. Quirino M. Gonzales, a fisherman who also was a councilor of Malangas and a native ofMerida, Leyte.He is also a distant relative of then SenatorNeptali Gonzales.Gonzales became the first appointed mayor and was called the "Father of Buug". After being proclaimed as a municipality, flocks of settlers established residence and trade in the place.[5]
