OBSERVATIONS ON THE CONTENTS OF THIS DICTIONARY
The acute accent: This mark (á) is used to indicate the syllable or syllables that are stressed: yaá. The exception to this rule is that of the penultimate or second last syllable which ordinarily is not accented even though it is stressed. The reason for this is to avoid the placing of too many accents since it is the penultimate syllable that is commonly stressed in the Gubatnon dialect.
The grave accent: A glottal vowel sound at the end of the word is indicated by the grave accent (à), batà (child).
The circumflex accent: When the final vowel of a word is glottal, and at the same time the final word is stressed, we indicate this by means of the circumflex accent (â) isdâ (fish)

SPELLING
The spelling of Gubatnon words is uniform but there are certain words that admit alternative spelling:
NUMERALS
In counting, the local dialect numbering from one to ten is preferred . Succeeding numbers and those of the monetary value are spoken using the Spanish language.

PLURALIZING PARTICLE “MGA”
When translating English words into the Gubatnon, they are not always preceded by the pluralizing particle ‘mga’ because in practice and common speech, this particle is optional, such in Cats are afraid of dogs: Hadók an kuyíng sa ayam.

INDEFINITE PARTICLE
The article ‘a’ or ‘an’ is often left untranslated in the Gubatnon. Ex. To fatten a pig: Mapatabâ oríg.

SUFFIXES

The gubatnon dialect uses the suffixes a , an and on, transforming the use of the particular words into commands and action. The stress must be transferred to the last syllable. On the other hand the suffixes hi and han do not transfer the stress on the last syllable but rather on the second to the last.

Ex:
1. Silhigá. =( Silhig + a) = Sweep it.
2. Silhigón ta an ati.=( Silhig + on ) = Let us remove the dirt.
3. Silhigán ta an rowang = (Silhig + an) We will sweep the floor. Or Let us sweep the floor.
4. Baratohi siya = ( Barato + hi ) = Give him favor.
5. Baratohan ta siya = (Barato + han) = We will give him favor.

ARIMAN

Ariman, a barangay south of the poblacion having two major bridges, the Ariman and Aropag bridges. The name is derived from the name of a river which originates from sitio Ariman (Odoc) of Barangay Bentuco, this municipality. The river's mouth to the Pacific Ocean is where barangay Ariman is located.
The historic Ariman is believed to have been the place of early settlers in the town. One version of the origin of the name "Ariman" was that instance when the Spaniards, looking for the route inland, asked the villagers which river will lead to the mountains. The villagers replied "Arin man", meaning "whichever" route one takes, all will lead up to the mountains.

A former sitio of Barangay Buenavista, Ariman officially became a barangay in 1906 in honor of Nuestra Señora del Carmen and San Francisco de Asis. The First Teniente del Barrio was Custodio Estrellado. The breeding station as seen from the picture above was constructed in this barangay. Today, what remains is the foundation still visible from the road.

Bagacay - a barangay located on the north .Elders oftentimes related that the early settlers in Tan-awan, the previous name given to Bagacay, were composed mainly of people who came from the island of Samar. These Samareños occupied themselves by clearing lands, through "kaingin". Stories handed down to the present inhabitants tell that these Samareños came to the place to flee the marauding pirates during the early 17th century.

Nevertheless, Tan-awan was one of the places in Gubat that was frequently raided by the Moro pirates who came to loot, capture men and women and children to be sold as slaves. Because of the frequent raids, the natives, with the aid of the Spaniards, built a watch tower near the seashore to serve as a warning post in case of Moro attacks. On this watch tower which was called Moro de Centencion, was raised a red flag whenever there was an attack to warn the people of Tan-awan, Montufar and Gatbo.

The word "bagacay" was attributed to a man from Calao who went to the poblacion to pay his tribute. But when asked from what place he had came from, the man failed to recall the name of the place. He, however, explained that the place is noted for the plant "borobagacay", a species of bamboo thriving well beside the river banks. From then on, the old Tan-awan name was replaced by the new name Bagacay.

Balud -"Balud" to the Gubateño means wave, and oftentimes this was referred to the place where huge waves as high as a tree would threaten the residents thereat.

The story tells about properties in the place being destroyed and engulfed by the big waves. It was on a time when the residents were on performing their daily routine when three huge waves appeared in the horizon posing a threat to the place.
Out of the three waves, only one was able to hit land. The wave however, was not that strong to cause heavy damage. The religious attributed their safety to the miraculous acts of Señor Sto. Niño, then the Patron Saint of the town.

Originally, there was only one place called "Balud". In 1965, when Republic Act No. 3590 was enacted by Congress, the place was divided into Balud del Norte and Balud del Sur.

The first Teniente del Barrios for Balud del Norte and Balud del Sur were Constancio Billones and Loreto Flestado, respectively.

Benguet- Barangay Benguet was formerly known as Enob-oban, a sitio of barangay Malobago(Rizal). The progress of barangay Benguet started first as an "ermita", on the place of religious worship and activities. The ermita was established to relieve the early inhabitants of the inconvenience in observing every religious activity in the mother barangay which was Rizal.

Before the establishment of the ermita, religious activities were held in different places in the sitio. This prompted the residents to look for a permanent place where the patron saint could be housed. With the benevolent gesture of Alfonso Estavillo, a hectare of land was donated for the construction of the chapel and the place of religious activities.

The establishment of the ermita attracted the residents to build their houses near the chapel. Soon they initiated the separation from barangay Rizal to create a new barangay. The group of residents who wanted the creation of a new barangay was composed of Marcelo Escalante, Domingo Estorninos, Alfonso Estavillo, Rufino Escasinas, Juan Encela, Mariano Federeso, and Gervacio Endraca. Endraca became Benguet's first Teniente del Barrio.

Barangay Benguet was established in 1896 during the time of Presidente Municipal Valentin Fajardo. The name "enob-oban" was retained until the year 1908 when it was changed to Benguet through a suggestion by Presidente Municipal Clemente Villarroya who compared the place to that of Benguet in the Mountain Province because the settlement is on a plateau.

Beriran - Before 1937, the residential houses of this community were claimed to be part of several barangays like San Ignacio, Sta. Ana, Cogon and Cota na Daco. Because of this situation, the residents were subject to different governmental decisions that often bring misunderstanding. So in 1937, the inhabitants of sitio Beriran, through the initiative of Apolonio Erlano, Segundo Escuriaga and Ignacio Espallardo decided to establish their own barangay.

The first Teniente del Barrio of Beriran was Apolonio Erlano who administered the affairs of the barrio until the outbreak of World War II in 1941. In 1958, Barangay Beriran was officially recognized as a separate political unit.

This barangay was so named after a big beriran tree which grew at the center of the barangay a the time of the establishment of the community.

Buenavista Barangay Buenavista is among the earliest settlement that existed in Gubat, it being along the shore. The name Buenavista was adopted and used by the inhabitants after it was uttered by a Spaniard.

When the Spaniards came to rule over the islands, and when these lorded over Gubat, the trail used by Spaniards going to Bulusan was via Malobago and Danlog. Before reaching Malobago a settlement had to be passed. This was the settlement at Buenavista.

Three Spanish soldiers on horseback departed for Bulusan via Malobago. As the three reached the top of the trail, they notice that the eastern side provide a scenic view. The Spaniards commented "Muy bien es este lugar-buena vista". The other added, "Si, Si, muy bien pasar otro este calle para vista la blanco de agua mar".

The conversation was overheard by a native and repeated if throughout the settlement. Since, then, the inhabitants called their beautiful place Buenavista. The barangay was host to a national Boy Scout jamboree held in 1958.

Bulacao is a shortened word derived from bulalacao (bulalakaw) or meteor.
According to stories told by the elders, the early settlers were a group of nomadic hunters headed by a woman named Maria Boncala. The hunters chose the place because it provided them bountiful game and fertile land.

One night, while some of the hunters were waiting for their traps to catch wild animals, a "bulalacao" or meteor, which shot from above, landed nearby. The hunters saw this and started to look for the bulalacao for they believed that the possession of the anting-anting (amulet) will give them powers.

They continue their search day and night until a stranger passed by and asked them the name of the place. The hunters readily replied "bulalacao" not understanding the language the stranger was using.

After a few weeks, the stranger returned accompanied by some couples together with their belongings. The strangers who were from Albay sought the permission of Maria Boncala to stay in the place and was granted.

Barangay Bulacao is one of the oldest barrio or barangay in Gubat. It was believe that Bulacao was recognized as a barrio in 1870 and its first head was Tomas Escurel.

Cabigaan -Barangay Cabigaan had been a sitio of Bulacao. The sitio was headed by a "Segundo Teniente del Barrio" whose appointment came from the Teniente del Barrio of Bulacao was Leon Funelas, then a 60-year old resident and assistant to the Teniente del Barrio of Bulacao with respect to the administration of the sitio.
In January 1952, Leon Funelas called a community assembly and there discussed various matters affecting their sitio. Among the thing approved and given priority attention was the establishment of their own Ermita, a center for religious activities which at that time is the dominant pre-occupation of the people. Not long after the community assembly, the barrio folks through self-help, constructed a barrio chapel to house their patron saint San Isidro.

The construction of the barrio chapel and later the construction of a temporary school building, caused the concentration of regular activities in the sitio that they seldom go, if ever, to their mother barangay for their religious and other activities.

A few months later, Mr. Eutiquio Esquillo donated a one-hectare lot to the sitio to be used as a school campus.

The concentration of activities in their own sitio lead to the severance of this sitio from their mother barangay and eventually to its registration as a separate barangay.

Barangay Cabigaan derived its name after a plant of the giant gabi family known locally as "Biga", which, at that time and even up to the present, thrived abundantly along the sides and banks of creeks. "Cabigaan" means a place Biga is abundant.

Cabiguhan
was named after a palm tree known locally as "bigo". The bigo tree thrived abundantly in that place during the early days. "Cabiguhan" means a place where bigo is abundant.

Before 1940, Cabiguhan was a sitio of barangay Jupi. It was declared a separate barangay on May 15, 1940 and its first Teneiente del Barrio was Andes Heron.
