BARANGAY DUGCAL
By: DOMINADOR N.
MARCAIDA, JR
SB-Camaligan,
Camarines Sur, Philippines
The origin of many residents of
Barangay Dugcal is being traced to the three sisters, surnamed Adea, who were
supposedly the daughters of a Spanish friar. According to our informant, the
former municipal councilor Bonifacio Aguid, each of the Adea sisters were
married to three natives of Dugcal by the names of Vidal Custodio (the father of Ramon, Leon, Emilio, Juan and
Felix Custodio), Ciriaco Alayan, and Eustaquio Alacar (father of Catalina, Julia, Justa, Victoria, Cipriana and Severo).
Our first informant is barangay
health worker Justa Agotilla Burton. She is 77 years old, born 14 May 1932 at sitio Gogon,
Dugcal. Her parents were Severino Agotilla and Juana Zuñiga. She was married in
17 January 1963
to Marcial Burton, a native of Magallanes, Sorsogon, but became widow in 1969.
the spouses Marcial and Justa begot the following children: Marilyn (married to
Romulo Tejero of San Francisco ,
Camaligan), Josephine (married to Narcisco Pulad of Catanduanes), Rosalie
(married to Noli Bautista), and Jimmy (married to Estrella Oaminal).

During the Japanese occupation (1942
to 1945), they evacuated to Napao (Patong, Pamplona ) but kept shuttling back and forth
to Camaligan. When the Japanese occupied Camaligan, all residents of sitio
Gogon and Dugcal were ordered by the Japanese to relocate their houses along
the San Mateo Creek because they suspected that a guerilla was operating in the
area of Dugcal. Justa’s house were demolished, all but the posts remained

The name of sitio Gogon came from
the name of the wild grass “gogon” because in those days the place was “kagugunan.” Barangay Dugcal’s name came
from the bikol word “sungkal” (means
“to dig the soil with a pig’s snout”),
which the residents used to call their place because pigs were seen to furrow
the soil with their snouts since houses during those days had no fences and
pigs were free to roam the place.
Her father’s other livelihood
occupation was to catch kabebe (a
fresh water shelled mullosk) by means of sirok.
After a catch, which consisted of one ebb and another high tide, he took home
to Gogon 20 kerosene cans of kabebe which were sold outright at the bank of the
creek to waiting buyers. A kerosene can of kabebe was bought at two pesos a
can. He owned a 20 cavan capacity wooden boat for this purpose. During the dry
months (January to March), her father caught fresh water fishes from almost
dried up water holes and from paddy ricefields, which they sold to residents at
the poblacion.
Her mother, Juana Zuñiga Agotilla,
was a patadyong weaver . Other women residents who were patadyong weavers in
the area were the following: Biviana Catmbang, Rosario Alimbubuyog Catimbang,
Olimpia Agagad del Rosario, Albina Zuñiga Pelayo, Juana Zuñiga Agotilla, Teresa
Collantes Abelado, Luisa Collantes, and Eusebia Custodio. Patadyong was sold at
twenty pesos per yard. It was weaved out of binorong thread, which were
delivered to these women weavers by two Chinese men by the name of Tsuka and
Insyong. Aside from binorong thread, these weaver used abaca thread also which
was supplied to them from Tabaco, Albay by Alejandra de Belen (Antero
Agotilla). Her mother, Juana Zuñiga, also owned a makina de pie (sewing machine
with pedal), which they transported to Napao, Cagbibi, Pamplona when they evacuated there during the
Japanese occupation.
After graduating at the Vicki’s
Academy of dressmaking in 1949, Justa immediately employed herself by sewing
duster dresses which was picked up from her house by a certain tagalong woman
who paid her for her labor at fifty centavos a piece.
When she became widow in 1969, she
