When the Spaniards discovered the Philippines in 1521, many of them came before its discovery; some went to the North and discovered many places, one of these places being Amulung
Amulung at that time was a thick forest, the natives then were clearing the area for them to live, and some of the natives were cutting down a certain vine called an AMULUNG; when the Spaniard riding in horseback asked the natives in Spanish “Como se llama este pueblo?”, the native were looking at each other’s because they did not understand the Spanish language when finally one of them saw the vines and old the Spaniards Am-Amulung. Since Am-Amulung was a strange name to the Spaniards, they pronounced it Amulung; the name of which the Spaniards gave this town.
It was created into a municipality by way of act through the will of the people in 1787.
We envision Barangay Centro as a Center of commerce and trade in the Municipality; a God-fearing community; progressive and diversified with a clean and friendly environment.
To make this Barangay a progressive and friendly environment safe and peaceful community.
