    the province of Catanduanes. This is where I live and the

    This represented 7.42% of the total population of San
    Andres.

    Demographics

    The household population of Cabcab in the 2015 Census


    was 2,912 broken down into 544 households or an average
    of 5.35 members per household.
    HISTORY OF BARANGAY CABCAB

    Nestling at the foot of a mountain is the lovely, beautiful


    and progressive community of Cabcab which has a unique
    history of its own. The village the Maqueda Channel offer a
    safe anchorage to fisherman and sailors braving the sea
    during bad weather. These daring sea people from Ambos
    Camarines often times passed the stormy days in this
    unique shore. They explored the area and found it a better
    place to stay. Its nearness to the mainland Camarines,
    separated only by the Maqueda channel where abundant
    fish abounds and the protective irregular shores together
    with the fertile virgin plains encouraged the fisherman and
    sailors who frequented the place to settle and start a new
    life in this beautiful part of Catanduanes.

    Group of fisherman settlers under the leadership of Datu


    Paden decided ones and for all to stay in this place and
    followed by other groups as years passed by.

    One summer day, several Spanish conquiztadores crossed


    the Maqueda Channel in hot pursuit of the illusive
    insurrectos, made a stop over at the peaceful village. They
    found the people in the village submissive and so they
    enjoyed strolling around the area. In the outskirt of the
    community were sturdy shady trees where the airplant
    called "Beo" abounds, the Spaniards rested under these
    trees. By coincidence, up in the tree was a man gathering
    "Beo" Leaves for fan. The Spaniards who wanted to know
    the name of the place called the man and asked "Senior
    como se llama esta lugar". The man trembling with fear
    without the second thought showed what he gathered to
    the foreigners and said Cabccab which means that "beo" is
    used for fanning.

    Since then the Spaniards recorded "Cabcab" as the name


    of this place. This name had been handed down unchanged
    from generation to generation. Cabcab grew fast as a
    fishing village. Ninety eight percent of its people are
    fishermen. The main source of income of the people is b
    means of fishing. Its nearness to the poblacion, six
    kilometers distance connected with good road, made it
    easy for them to transport their catch to market. Tanned
    in the sea yet ambitious, the people in this community look
    forward to give children better education. Now this
    community can boast of its professionals.
    Economy

    Cabcab grew fast as a fishing village. Nowadays, sixty


    percent of its people are fishermen. The main source of
    income of the people is by means of fishing, marketing, and
    even transporting vehicle(tricycle) and etc.

    Structure

    The structure of the houses in the baranggay are mostly


    made from concrete and some are still made from kubo or
    in bicol they call it "payag".
