History

Local folks believed that before the Spanish Era, the most common enemy of the Sri Vijayan settlers was the Moro pirates. They were ruthless men who took anything of value including women and children. At the first sight of the Moro vintas, inhabitants would flee to the mountains of Talisay, the last line of defense of the able-bodied men. This was where their elders would call “Anhi ta Makig-away ug Mag-away”. With the passage of time, it was called “Maghaway”.
