History

edit

The indigenous groups of Pangantucan are various Talaandig and Manobo tribes.[5][6] It has also been settled by Dumagat (Visayans) in recent times.[5]

The name “Pangantucan” means wisdom and strength in the Manobo languages. It is supposedly dedicated to a white stallion. The horse allegedly uprooted a bamboo stalk in time to warn his master, a datu of a tribe, of the impending threat of Maranao raiders, thereby saving the tribe from massacre.

Pangantucan was once a barrio of Maramag, and as the seat of government it was merged in 1931 with neighbouring Adtuyon, Dominorog, Panalagsagan, Kalilangan and Barandias to form a separate municipal district. It was granted Municipal status in 1961.
