Answer 2

"Ang Puno" or "Ang Uno"

The name Angono stems from various story sources. One such story describes the area of Angono as abundant in fish and animal life, with perennial grass and virgin forests, but infested by crocodiles. The Spaniards who went there found a village of huts consisting of 50 families and ruled by Datu Biga. The huts were on four posts made up of tree branches, bamboos and cogon, tied together by "baging" (vines). Food gathering was done by the use of implements like the "silo" (for wild deer/pig) and the "pana", "salap" and "salapang" (for fish). The villagers had rice, vegetables and fruit trees. The Datus dwelling was located on a hilltop, a place in which still presently bears his name - Biga. Natives refer to their datu as "Ang Puno" or "Ang Uno", which carried on with the Spaniards, also attributing to it to the place where the datu and his followers resided. When the area pacified, Angono progressed as a "visitas" in the vicinity of Pasig, which was the mother parish.
