Kalasungay

Kalasungay (Spanish: Calasungay) is an urban barangay in the North Highway District of Malaybalay, Bukidnon, along the Sawaga River.

It is bounded to the east by Sumpong and Impalambong; to the south by Casisang and Imbayao; to the southwest by Capitan Angel; and to the west by Dalwangan and Patpat by the Sawaga River and Kabakahan Creek, respectively.

A new by-pass road from San Jose to Dalwangan aimed to divert traffic to avoid congestion in Poblacion District passes by Kalasungay in Sitio Karangkarang.

Galnarahán was closely associated with Sil-ipen, an old name for Dalwangan[2] In one event, two carabao bulls were locking horns and in an effort to separate them, the village chieftain was fatally gored.

In the early 19th century, the Spaniards had had contact with the natives in Kalasungay, and eventually incorporated the village as part of the province of Misamis in 1845.

In the narrative published in the website of the city of Malaybalay, the Spaniards burned down the village in a battle against the natives, even going as far as to claim there are atrocities committed.

[6] In June 15, 1877, Kalasungay was integrated into Oroquieta del Interior, a pueblo encompassing the present-day Bukidnon province.
