CABULOAN
Cabuloan was formerly a sitio of Barrio Sto. Tomas before the 60’s . The implementation of PACD creating barangays in the countrysides, made local leaders respond to the call of the times transforming Cabuloan into a distinct and separate barangay . It is one among barangays that comprises the 5-C barangays of the Sto. Tomas Centro. It is bounded on the south by the Sabangan River and Brgy. San Rafael Centro, Sitio Casapangan; on the east by Brgy.Camanggaan; on the north by Brgy. Sto Tomas and on the west by the Agno River.
According to old folks Cabuloan got its name from the root word “bulo” which in Pangasinan language refers to a species of bamboo. Thus, the word Cabuloan means the place where the ‘bulo” is generally found. The bulo is a special kind of bamboo, but unlike “kawayan”, it does not grow everywhere. It is highly useful not only as a housing material but as a handicraft material for basket making, sawali and bilao because of its thinness. Due to the abundance of bulo growing in the area, the people named the place Cabuloan. Up to the present, bulo is still predominantly growing in Cabuloan.
Endowed with a shallow water table, water simply oozes out as springs from the ground even on hot summer months in Cabuloan . This had made agriculture and fishpond-raising very productive to local folks. Similarly blessed by nature with rich fertile soil, good irrigation and hardworking people, farming had become the primary source of income of the inhabitants. Other sources of income are fishing, fishpond raising, pottery making livestock-raising and bamboo craft. Its main farm produce are palay, corn and vegetables.
Some local leaders became prominent leaders of the municipality like former councilors Don Cecilio Doton and Don Florentino Lampa. The latter is the father of Councilor Filipina T. Lampa,who like this his father is a native of Brgy. Cabuloan . Prominent families of Brgy. Cabuloan are the Doton, Arquero, Lampa , Rodrigo and Seriosa among others .
