INTRODUCTION

The Barangay is the smallest local government unit that composes municipalities and provinces. It plays the most important role for the success of the higher local government unit because through it, the goal of the municipalities will be materialized by its help. This smallest local government unit is guided by the Local Government Code that provides laws that the Barangay is obliged to follow. In the said code it is stated that the Barangay Council is composed of the Barangay Chairman and seven Councilors. It is also states that it must have two appointed officials that will serve as Barangay Secretary and Barangay Treasurer.

On other hand the residents of each barangay that composes the Barangay Assembly must know the provisions stated in the new code for their welfare. The most effective way to immediately put in hand and materialize the goal of having economic stability and progress of our country is through, the Barangays wherein the first step of progress is started as well as the initiation and implementation of laws.

The barangay is a political and a progressive level of the local government that serves as the primary unit that traces and implements the government laws, plans, projects as well as other activities for the welfare of its citizens. It also serves as the way wherein collective opinions of the citizens can be expressed, and be considered and clarified through initiatives and referendum. It also the first step in settling the misunderstanding and troubles between residents, as not to go further.

COMMUNITY SETTING

Historical Background

Barangay Langkaan 1 was originally a part of the landholding called Haciendas of the Spanish friars during the Spanish Regime. The Spaniards constructed several irrigation dams. One of this is the famous dam called the San Agustin dam located at the western boundary of the Barangay. It was completed in the year 1855. The dam has an underground canal dug across the field towards the east and finally connects the other river. A concrete water passage or overpass waterway was built to service indigo plants located in this place. A concrete enclosement wherein indigo was extracted into dyes can be traced until now. It serves as a landmark of Spanish influence. Formerly, the barangay was just a small sitio which later became a progressive village. The name of the barangay came from a few villagers who cultivated a certain spot which they planted with jackfruits. The small plantation was then called Langkaan which was established around 1900. During the early years, Langkaan was composed of two sitios. Four kilometers directly south of the barrio lies the sitio Humayao and in the southeastern part, the sitio of Capdula which nestled on a hilly plateau. After this, the area of Asyungan was added to the barangay.

The barangay is composed of high and flat elevated lands which are suitable for farming. Several rivers serve as irrigation in the rice fields located in the Municipality of Dasmarias and its nearby barrios. It also contributes to the drinking water needs of the whole town. Waterfalls could also be found in these rivers. These are the Pinaghulugan falls and the Kakanlog Falls. Sugarcane has been grown for a very long time but it was the Spaniards who turned it into a profitable crop because by the middle of the 17th century it became our leading export to other countries. The barangay folks engaged in sugar planting. The place has several sugar mills called trapiche and the carabao was used in place of a machine in turning the mills. The owners of the panucha industry were the late Don Placido Campos and Andres Medina. By the coming of the Americans in the country, the place attracted many settlers from the poblacion in the year 1920 up to 1930. They are the families of De Lima, Bautista, Empeo, Laudato, Medina, Quillao, Remulla, Reyes, Sango, Satsatin, Sarabusab, and others. During the American Occupation, love and respect from the aroused people were tamed by means of money, food, clothing, and jewelries. There was a sona facing the people to move to the town which were surrounded by fences. They used diplomacy and money in winning the people. They introduced the new form of democratic government. Barrios were organized and headed by the Tiniente Del Barrio headed by higher officials.

Health and community was cared for and education of the masses begun in the year 1941. During World War II, the Japanese had a large plantation of cotton in this barrio. The villagers were forced to work in the farm with low compensation. Everyday they were obliged to work in the farm. The place was also noted for its camps of guerillas in the whole province during the Japanese occupation. General Castaedas unit lived in this barrio for a long time. Other units took advantage of the weakness of the people. They robbed, corrupted and vandalized the populace. Among the historical events in Langkaan was when the people used to hide and sleep in the forest fearing that Enong, a spy of the Japanese knew about the guerillas staying in the barrio. After the proclamation of Martial law, the barrio became progressive. The peace and order situation were rid of undesirable elements. The rural development is being undertaken by the government under the New Society. New roads and concrete bridges were constructed connecting Dasmarias with other neighboring towns. The government provided more artesian wells in the community. The Barangay has now a complete elementary school and a modern Barangay Health Center. In addition, a big and modern aluminum plant Reynolds Philippine Corporation was setup in the year 1980. And by the 1990s,

the First Cavite Industrial site was set up in the property of NDCMarubeni. In the year 1990 Langkaan was divided into two barangays covering Resolution No. 359-90 this divided the Barangay into Langkaan I and Langkaan II. Langkaan II covers the sitios of Humayao, part of Cityland subdivision and part of First Cavite Industrial Corporation. By September 18, 1990, from the Resolution No. 82-A-S-90 which created a new barangay out of the mother barangay was to extend the maximum benefit of basic services rendered by the local government unit. In September 12, 1990, from the Resolution No. 108-S-90, a resolution amending Resolution No. 82-A-S-90 of the Sangguniang Bayan of Dasmarias: RE: Creation of New Barangay as mandated by law. With the massive rural development program the barrio has a potential to become a progressive and industrial barrio because of the big corporations which started to buy hundred of hectares of land for future development.
