Additional Information:

► Here are some of the names that could have been the name of the parish
Parish of Sto. Kristo
            This name originated from the fact that the Patron of the chapel of Malanday is the Sto. Kristo

► Parish of St. John the Baptist

            This one almost made it to be the name of our parish but did not. This name was suggested and voted for by our bishop. His excellency Rolando J. Tria Tirona. It was suggested for the reason that our parish was declared as Quasi- Parish on, June 24 the feast of St. John the Baptism but then again, this name never made it.
