About Pueblo de Balilihan
.
The place is a panorama of verdant hills,
rugged mountains and green fields. It is said
to have been so named because of the grass "balili"
which grew in abundance in the locality.
Balilihan means a place where plenty of "balili" grows.
Before the beginning of the 19th century,
Balilihan was a barrio of the town of Baclayon
and an old settlement where the families of
Orig, Racho, Maniwang, Lacea and Pongase
were the first inhabitants.
After Dagohoy's rebellion in Bohol (1744 to 1829)
the Spanish government thought it best
to settle the insurgents (returnees) in the villages,
in this way several new towns were formed,
the most important being Alicia, Balilihan and Catigbian.
Balilihan Watchtower
The unusual location of the tower in Balilihan,
an interior town, may suggest that
apart from monitoring the Abatan River
it also served to maintain vigilance
over pockets of malcontents in the area
(Balilihan had the second largest number
of settlers from Dagohoy's camps in 1829).
