I would go with the "ata bako ako" story.

I find it weird that many of the town in the Philippines got their name because of misunderstanding between the Spaniards and the natives. Such stories are so many that it made me think that people just created some of those stories just to explain the name of their town.Ishmael F.

All of the details given above were all true excluding that the origin of its name comes from tobacco. the truth is it came from the spaniards who misunderstood the datu for telling "TABAK KO" who means "ang tabak ko" that it is the name of the place.

As an advance party of Spanish soldiers were approaching the area they came to rest on its outskirts. While they rested they fell asleep, when they awoke, their horses were gone. They decided to walk and upon reaching the pueblo, there they saw their horses. They of course would want to know why their horses were there.
