Pogoruac

The name of the barangay came from the observations of early settlers in this place. They said that every morning they found quail (pugo) laying eggs and crows (uwak) eating large number of earthworms that’s why it’s called POGORUAC.

As year passed by, Barangay Officials were elected through VIVA voters, the Chairman as Teniente del Barrio to Kapital del Barrio, then Barangay Captain and now Punong Barangay with its Barangay Kagawad, Barangay Secretary, Barangay Treasurer and SK Chairman with Honorarium.

In 1945 Pogoruac Elementary School was build. Early on in 1965, the Pogoruac Village High School was constructed. We have 1 (one) three Storey Barangay Hall, Public Auditorium and Gymnasium, Public Market, 3 (three) Day Care Centers located in San Lorenzo, Pogoruac Centro and Manok Sabio), 5 (five) Churches, Health Center, Concrete Roads, Waiting Sheds and Streetlights. At present we have 8 sitios.
