1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

KASAYSAYAN NG BARANGAY PONON

Noon ang bayan ng Atimonan ay pinamamayanan lamang ng ilang ulo ng pamilya.

Bagama’t sila ay may sarili nang sibilisasyon at kultura na turo ng mga Kastila ay

masasabing sila ay talagang salat pa sa kaalaman. Bihira sa mga Pilipino noon ang

nakapag-aral. Noon ay wala pa ring transportasyon kaya wala ring maunlad na negosyo. Ang

mga tao noon ay walang ikinabubuhay maliban sa pagtatanim. Inakala nila na habang

panahon ay ganyan na lamang ang buhay. Noon ay salat sa karangyaan subalit sagana

naman kung pagkain ang pag-uusapan.

Ang mga barangay na sa ngayon ay bumubuo ng bayang Atimonan, noon ay gubat

pa. Walang may-ari at ang lahat ay malayang maaangkin upang bugtain. Ang bawat ulo ng

pamilya ay walang ibang ambisyon kundi magbugta ng gubat o magkaingin upang lumawak

ang kanilang taniman para sa kanilang mga anak.

May isang grupo na kinabibilangan ng sampung pamilya ang naghanap ng

magandang lugar na kanilang bubugtain. Nakakita naman agad sila at ang sampung ito ay

nagumpisang magbugta. Sa dako ng kanilang binubugta ay may isang malaking puno na

kung tawagin ay paho at ito ang ginawa nilang hintayan, kung may mahuhuling dumating

sapagkat sila kung hapon ay umuuwi sa bayan at kung umaga naman ay maagang

sumasaka sa kanilang kinakaingin. Umaga at hapon ay lumalakad sila ng mahigit na

sampung kilometro sapagkat noon ay wala pang sasakyan. Ganyan kahirap ang tiniis ng

ating mga ninuno. Lumipas ang maraming araw, lingo, buwan, at mga taon. Malawak na

ang kanilang nabubugta. Sapagkat sila ay marami na at malalaki na rin ang kanilang mga

anak ay minarapat nila na silang sampung pamilya ay doon na magtayo ng bahay sa paligid

ng malaking puno na naging palatandaan ng kanilang hintayan. Namalas sa mga ninuno

ang tornohan o mas kilala sa tawag na bayanihan, doon ay sama-samang nagtatrabaho ang

mga kalalakihan para sa sama samang pag-gawa. Tuwing may pagpupulong o sunog o may

nais na iparating ay gumagamit sila ng tambuli na yari sa sungay ng kalabaw at hinihipan

ito bilang hudyat ng pag titipon o mensahe. Buhat noon ang sampung pamilyang ito ay

maligaya at tahimik na namuhay sa paligid ng malaking puno hanggang sila ay dumami

nang dumami, umunlad ang lugar at naging isang pamayanan. Kapag mayroong

nagtatanong sa kanila,”saan ba kayo naninirahan pare?” Doon sa puno, ang kanilang sagot.

Ang lugar na ito ay tinawag na puno. PUNO ito ang orihinal ng kabansagang PONON.
