HISTORY Originally the rich lowland was inhabited by a group of stocky-haired natives called Aetas. These people led nomadic life and lived by hunting. With the use of their most essential tool, the bow and arrow—"pana-sa-boboy" as they call it—they hunted for food which primarily consisted of rootcrops and meat of wild boars. When the Christian settlers came at the beginning of the 20th century, the place was already a thriving trading community; thus, the place was already known as Taboan, which means "trading center". After the Cristian settlers began pioneering the region, the natives moved further to the hinterlands along with them their "pana-sa-boboy". This term later evolved into present day name Panabo.
