History

Ages ago, the village was sheltered with cogon grass (kogon) and tropical cupgrass (bakwit). That t ime, wa lking was the only means of transportation. The Maghats, Maayong Laki(Bukidnon)were the first inhabitants of the place. Women were called “ daray “and men were called “utuan” .

The neighborhood was dominated by men. This was depicted every t ime a family was travelling on foot. The father was leading, holding a spear or bolo, followed by the mother carrying all the heavy loads placed on her head in a basket or backpack fabricated with “oway”and last were their offspring trying to come along with the trek. It was also believed that men could have more than one spouse living in a “camarin’. “Pantaw” was observed in most of the houses, where” tadyaw “or jar of water was placed. “Bayong”was the container used to fetch water during those times and “tubo” was the ancient plate. “Dagyaw” was a tradition of the community that in times of harvest they would invite close friends and relatives to join and part of this will be given to them. “Sagyaw ”was the later part that whateve r they reap will surely be theirs.

Gong was the mode of communication used by the natives. When it was struck, those who heard it would visit the place where the sound came from to join a meeting or attend a wedding celebration. Wedding was the most important occas ion during that time. The natives performed “Balitaw” dance as part of their thanksgiving. This was the event that brought people together from different places. “Sinaga” a pre-cooked meat was prepared for the guests as a gift.

Time passed and the locality started to learn and evolve. Many settlers decided to stay in the place because of its abundance and serenity. The natives learned the barter system to obtain the things that the new settlers introduced.

One day, a family of six from the town proper decided to dwell in the village.They travelled on foot for days because of their children. They had difficulty traversing the road on their way up. Because of exhaustion, the children were calling their mother… ‘linang, lnang, ka poy’ ‘. As they reached their destination the children repeated the word ‘INAHAPOY”due to shortness of breath.

When the mother heard her children calling, she thought that they were telling her that they already arrived in the place, named “lnahapoy.” That was when the early settlers named it lnahapoy because they misconstrued the children and also because of the geographical location of the place.

As the days passed by, the place became famous since most of the visitors utter ‘inang maka poy ka gid” as they reached the site. A nd in the passing generation, it became INAPOY, where the natives of the place rejoice when travellers came to visit because for them,it meant progress.

At present time theplace is nowcalled BARANGAY INAPOY.
