A pottery vessel of Kalanay tradition (because the oldest pottery of similar design is found in Kalanay cave in Masbate) which its origin is in North Vietnam during the metal period (ca. 300 BC – 1000 AD), found in a cave (Tagbalitang) used as burial at Brgy. San Martin, Villanueva. (Source)
Two thousand years ago, there were already ancient Kagay-anons living around the vicinity of Hulaga, Himologan and Tagbalitang caves.
The Tagbalitang Cave is part of the limestone formation and the mouth of the cave is located at the slope of the hill orientated towards the east. Unfortunately, at the time of the survey, the mouth of the cave has been destroyed due to treasure hunting activities in the late 1980s. According to our informant, treasure
hunters blasted the mouth of the cave in search for gold causing the
mouth to collapse and thus blocking the opening. The cave is currently located inside the Municipal Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and owned by the local government. No artifacts were recovered at the foot of the hill. (Source)
The pottery can be seen at XU – Museo de Oro

The Municipality of Opol was once an uninhabited wilderness during the pre-Spanish time, until one group of Boholanos, lead by a Datu, migrated to the place. They settled in the area now known as Barangay Bonbon, where they planted different crops for their livelihood. One of the widely cultivated and most abundant crop was white squash or “opo”. Inhabitants from nearby villages came to the area to buy the famous “opo”, until the place became popularly known as “opo”. Due to slip of the tongue, most of the inhabitants began referring to the place as “opol”. Thus, from then on, the place has been called “Opol”.

The name TAGOLOAN was a product of a priest’s curiosity and
interest to seek the very source of a river which when flooded
caused death of human and animals and destruction of properties.
It is told that after a week of climbing the hills and mountains
on foot and by horse he finally came upon his goal. He found the
wellspring under a big rock and so hidden as to defy discovery.
The priest called it TAGO-OLOHAN, which means CONCEALED SOURCE,
from “Tago” (concealed), and “OLOHAN” (source). Later especially
the Spaniards changed this to the present name probable due to
the difficulty of pronouncing the word.
Another vision of the legend of Tagoloan is that it originated
from Moslem words, namely “tago” meaning “a place” and “oloan”
meaning “head: or “chief”. Tagoloan therefore means “the place
of the chief”.
Tagoloan is a first (1st) income-class municipality in the province of Misamis Oriental, Philippines. Tagoloan is located to the east of Cagayan de Oro City and located south-east of the Macajalar Bay.
