HISTORY

This barangay was a river delta when the Spaniards arrived here. At that time, the place was called "Lama-Lama" by the natives because here lived a Datu named Lama who was the head of the barangay (barrio in Spanish).

Upon seeing this place, the Spaniards noticed that it resembled the Spanish town of Tetuan in northern Morocco, where the Moors and Andalusian refugees lived, so they called this barangay Tetuan.

The Spaniards made Saint Ignatius of Loyola their Patron Saint. The army captain who was noted for his sterling character and courage.
