Origin

The barangay’s main attraction is the huge dam called the Buhisan Dam, wich is one of the major sources of water in Metro Cebu people. The Americans built the dam in 1907, and because it was a mammoth structure, the natives believed that it was possessed by supernaturals.
It has been a practice of the people in the place to throw something into the dam to signify respect to the unseen creature in the dam. It is the belief of the natives that throwing something into the dam assures one of protection from bad spirits.
Buhisan is a VISAYAN word wich means giving something in exchange of what one has done to the party.
