History
[
edit
]
The city of Tangub grew from a small town. The city's name came from the Subanen word "
Tangkub
", which is a rice container made of tree bark woven together by
rattan
strips. There are several stories regarding how Tangub got its name. One version tells about a Spanish soldier on patrol in the area who found a dead man whom the
Subanens
described as bitten by a snake inside the “tangkub” when he checked if there was still rice in the container. Not understanding the dialect, the soldiers reported that there was a dead man from “tangkub” and the name stuck, which later on was changed to Tangub. Another version is about Spanish soldiers who got lost and encountered a Subanen couple. When asked about the location, the couple, thinking they were asked about the containers they were carrying, replied with "tangkub".
[5]
Trade and commerce emerged when many agricultural products were harvested, and the Subanens bartered their land for goods brought in by other Christian settlers from
Luzon
and
Visayas
. Years after, Chinese merchants settled in this place and helped to hasten the transportation of the settlements into a civilized communities. Tangub became successful during the years 1898?1910. With the growing community, a group of community leaders led a movement for the town to be an independent municipality, calling themselves the "Aspiracion Committee".
On December 4, 1929, Tangub became a
municipality
by virtue of an executive order by American
Governor-General
Dwight Davis
, and was renamed
Regidor
, in honor of Dr. Antonio Maria Regidor, a lawyer and diplomat who supported the
Secularization movement
during the Spanish regime. In this process, Regidor was separated from its mother municipality of Misamis, now
Ozamiz City
. The new municipality of Regidor then included all the barrios of the present municipality of
Bonifacio
, formerly known as Digson. The name of the municipality was reverted to Tangub by virtue of Act No. 3701 on November 20, 1930.
