[usba] Kaagi

Samboan is an abbreviation of the word Sinamboang, the origin of the name of the town. Sinamboang is a means of fishing commonly used by fishermen of the village. Like other Cebu towns’ legends as to how they were named, Samboan’s also came about from a language barrier between colonizers and natives. It seemed that some Spaniards came upon a group of fishermen who were engaged in sinamboang. Curious about the place, they asked for its name. But the natives though they were asking about what they were doing, and they promptly answered: sinamboang.

Samboan is a small town on a hill. But it used to be very much bigger, with Oslob and Alegria then under its territorial jurisdiction. In fact, people of Alegria were made to render forced labor for the construction of the Samboan church. It was only sometime during the middle of the 1880’s that the two towns were separated from Samboan.

Bato wharf of Samboan is the gateway to Negros Oriental. It is quite near the neighboring island that on clear days, one can see the figures of the people on the opposite shore. Samboan’s Escala de Jacob rises through 147 steps from the seashore up to 200 feet above sea level. It is 300 years old. A natural formation in Samboan is its Pontong lake, unique in the sense that it is where a certain kind of bird - the manolog - dives into its salt waters and stay under for a long time to escape the hunters. Bartolina Mountain is the highest peak in the south where the islands of Bohol, Negros, Siquijor, Mactan, Bantayan, and Mindanao could be seen.
