Brgy. Marupit: Brief History
In 1827, the baptismal registers of the recently established parish of Camaligan contained references to the name of a barangay of Manuel Salvador, purportedly referring to the area of Marupit, in Camaligan, Camarines Sur. Manuel Salvador maybe was the forefather of Casilda Salvador, spouse of Telesforo Prado, the father of Judge Joventino S. Prado. Other barangays in the baptismal registers included the following: Don Juan Francisco, Pablo Sto. Domingo, Rafael San Buenaventura, Juan de San Buenaventura, Manuel Salvador, Angeles Villanueva and Antonio de los Santos.
According to our first informant, the incumbent Punong Barangay of Marupit Purificacion M. Caudilla, the propertied residents of the barangay were Esteban Trinidad (Zone 1), Cambaling (Zone 2), Gregorio Salvador (Zone 5), and Santiago Serrado (Zone 4).
This informant told us that, etymologically speaking, the name Marupit means “to be drenched with rain water, as it come from the verb “rupit” which means “drenched with rain water.” But if used as an adjective, marupit could also mean “merciless” (as in “marupit na verdugo”, or merciless torturer. The natives of this place used to call this place “Marupit” because, as the story was told to us, during those days people who came to this place were always drenched with water since large portion of the area was swampy and always submerged in water, including major pathways that consisted of rice paddies, all throughout the year. The climate during those days consisted of prolonged rainy season (May – December) and short dry months (January to April); hence, being drenched with water had been associated with the original name of the place.
According to our first informant, the tenientes de barangay conducted government functions at their residences. The first barangay hall constructed was located at the site were the KBB is now located. The most recent punong barangays were now able to conduct government functions in their own permanent barangay hall.
Prominent families of the barangay, among others, included the following surnames: Trinidad, Maguigad, Aguillon, Cambaling, San Juan, Salvador, de los Santos, Delino, Serrado, Aurellano, Constante, Valerio and Custodio. These had houses built in the barangay as early as 1945.
The barangay chapel was constructed on a 5 by 4 meter lot on its original site, which was expanded through the donation by Patricio Maguigad, a United Spanish War Veteran (World War I (USWV). In 1945, this chapel was made of homarawon posts and corrugated galvanized iron for roofing and walls. Here the residents conducted their yearly barangay fiesta (originally scheduled on April 5 but recently was moved to April 30), the Sta. Cruzan and the auroras during the month of May. The chapel was also being utilized as a site for pre-school children to study their cartilla lessons. The first cartilla teacher at Marupit was a certain Titay Aguilar. She was followed by others when she died in the 1960s.
The public cemetery site at Barangay Marupit was also a donation to the municipal government by the Trinidad family.
The Trinidad clan of Barangay Marupit descended from Esteban Trinidad. Esteban was one of the four Trinidad brothers who originated from Batangas. These four brothers rode a cargo vessel to buy carabaos from nearby provinces of Luzon, and landed in Mercedes Camarines Norte. One of these four Trinidad brothers stayed behind at Camarines Norte, who became the forefather of the Trinidad clan there. Three brothers proceeded to Ambos Camarines Sur, one went to Partido area, another to Rinconada area and one went to Naga City to eventually marry a native woman from either the San Juan or Iñigo families of Camaligan.

During the Japanese occupation 1940-1945, certain residents evacuated to safe places in nearby towns. The family of Patricio Maguigad, a native of Tuguegarao, Cagayan and a USWV, evacuated to the property of Graciano Azutillo (married to Damasa Trinidad) at Barangay Iquin, Canaman, Camarines Sur in 1942. During World War I, Patricio was assigned from Tuguegarao to Ambos Camarines and here he married a native of Marupit in the person of Flaviana Trinidad. After his active service as Philippine scout, he found employment as a bus conductor of Alatco Bus Company. Other residents from Naga City also evacuated to this barangay. These included prominent city residents such as the families of Ramon Abella Diaz, who occupied Maguigad’s house in 1942.
During the 1950s, most lands (80%) in Marupit were farm lots used by the residents for cultivation of rice and other vegetables for home consumption. Only 20% of land in the barangay were for residential purposes. However, produce of fruit trees and other crops from the yards, such as pili, santol, nangka, bananas, pomelo, carabao manggo, pajo and others, were sold by residents in the nearby market in Naga City to augment family income. Some residents were also engaged in catching fresh water fishes in nearby creeks and water catchments for their family tables and, if they had extra catch, were sold to neighbors. Most residents were rice farmers. Their families found other various employment opportunities in nearby Naga City as off-farm work. These included carpentry, buying and selling, construction labor and others. Other residents engaged in food processing such as candy making. The first candy maker in Marupit was a certain Juan Constante, who made various kinds of home-made candies in the 1950s. Between 1946 up to early 1960’s, a number of housewives were engaged in weaving tapis and patadyong which were introduced to the locality by certain chinese by the name of Inciong and Tsuka. These women used binorong threads as material for their tapis and patadyong. These tapis weavers’ names were the following: Francisca Delino Aurellano (Zone 1), Daniela Evamgelista San Juan (Zone 1), Beata Salvador de la Torre (Zone 2), Flaviana Trinidad Maguigad (Zone 1), Felciana San Jose (Zone 6), and Primitiva Terrenal (Zone 6). When patadyong and tapis as clothing material came in disuse, the local weaving industry in Marupit also stopped.

This informant, former Barangay Captain Antonio Francisco, told us that his main occupation form 1950 until he became Barangay Captain in 1984 was a master carpenter (skilled). He acted as foreman during the repair works at Colegio de Sta. Isabel and the construction of the University of Nueva Caceres.
His original residence was at the house of his parents at the Baylon property at Marupit Norte, where he was born in 1927. He resided at Marupit Iraya when he married and later transferred to this present location in 1952. Between 1930 and 1940, only about 40 houses were present in barrio Marupit.
Between 1984 – 89, he was the barangay Captain of Marupit. The barangay officials during his term were the following: Zacarias Jacob, Julio Trinidad, Isidoro Nator, Antonio Maguigad, Carlos Rangel and Pedro Santiago (married to Marciana Sales). The barangay secretary was Brito Marte Baylon and the barangay treasurer was Porfirio Aurellano. It was during his term as barangay captain that the concreting of the 2,035.55 meters Provincial Road by the DPWH, through the Ligon Construction as contractor, was realized.
He recalls the construction of the first barangay hall during the term of Natalio Camaong, which consisted of wooden posts and planks for walls, and nipa shingles for roof. This was the provisional (temporary) barangay hall. The present site for the barangay hall was donated by the Trinidads.
Livelihood of the residents during the early 1930’s consisted of the following: a. Farming – Hundreds of carabaos roamed around the area with no known owners. Several carabaos were hauled by farmers into rice fields in order to muddy the soil for two days, in order to prepare the land for rice planting. Sometimes, carabaos were butchered, their meat was made into tapas (thin slices of dried meat) and their skins were also dried to make them into mats for palay drying. Neighboring farmers provided labor to transplant the palay seedlings in one’s farm through bayanihan labor. When one’s farm had been transplanted, the owner would volunteer himself to do transplanting work in others’ rice fields. Farmers used rantas (a wooden plank dragged by a carabao) to clean the fields of standing grasses, such as rimoras. b. Fishing – abundant supply of fresh water fishes were caught in the fields, creeks and ditches, especially during tye months of January to April when these natural water reservoir were dry. These fishes were sold to the nearby Naga market or peddled around the poblacion area; and, c. Weaving – Several housewives I the barrio used to weave patadyong and tapis out of binorong threads that were being delivered t them by two Chinese men, who later bought their finished products. Weaving was a promising backyard industry in barrio Marupit since after the war years up to early 1960’s when the use of patadyong and tapis outfits were outmoded.
In March 17, 1955, while Antonio and several carpenters finished constructing the house of Patrcio Maguigad near the barrio chapel, it was announced that the airplane which carried Philippine President Ramon Magsaysay crashed. Patricio Maguigad butchered a carabao to treat the workers who constructed his house. It was also during that time that the first artesian wells were constructed in front of the barrio hermita, the second one in Iraya in front of Ciriaco Dacian’s residence, and in Ilaud near Santiago Serrado’s residence.
Many residents used to fetch drinking water from the aguas potables at barrio San Juan. Residents had dug wells inside their property were they drew water for bathing, cooking and washing. For drinking water, they filtered them through ginaras (emery cloth made of abaca fibers), or katsa cloth, while being poured into a dulay or tapayan. For toilets, they dug holes on the ground which was covered with whole bamboo trunks that served as floors.
For bridges, they used taloytoyans (coconut trunks laid down on the ground of two banks of a creek or ditch), which rolled over when the area is flooded.
The highest recorded flood in the barrio was in 1952, during the lima-lima (5 days continuous rain and another five days interval) phenomenon occurred. But the strongest typhoon recalled by residents occurred in 1915, which left not a single house standing. This typhoon was said to be stronger than typhoons Jean or Trix in 1954. To withstand strong typhoons, residents constructed their houses with posts buried in the ground, the length of which was as long as the portion above ground. Climate in the area consisted of strong downpour of rain came after the late month of April and at the start of May (aguas de Mayo). Intermittent but continuous rain came during the months of September up to December, when strong typhoons came with the amihan winds. Dry months started in the months of January to March, with the habagat winds. These are the months when residents dry their water holes for fresh water fishes.
Cut woods from the kamaligs at Camaligan were transported to Canaman for utilization via the Marupit-Taculod route. Taculod was then still part of Marupit. It was in Taculod where big hamorawon trees grew, which the residents cut down to be used as house posts, or sawed as lumber for walls or floors. Cut timber that were stored at the kamaligs of Camaligan were hauled from Mt. Tancong Vaca from the tierra communal where Camaligan owns a titled portion up to now. These timbers were then cut from there and hauled down river by cortadors (wood-cutters) and transported to Camaligan for storage at the many kamaligs that jutted its river banks.
According to this informant, while he was the barangay captain (1984-1989), a barangay water system was constructed in front of the Marupit Elementary School. But, when the electric motor that would run the water pump was stolen, the project was abandoned. There is still an evidence of its distribution pipe located just in front of the KBB center.
