HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Maonon was one of the original barangays of Ligao in existence during the Cadastral Survey conducted on March 4, 1932.

The process of boiling fish is a way to preserve its shelf life and as a viand. During those days, the place is only accessible by banca from Pioduran. At the onset of the rainy season, it is isolated from Pioduran because of heavy waves. In this time, only boiled fish or “on-on” or “inon-on” is the only viand available. When people from Tabaco visited the place, they said that the place was “Maon-on” meaning plenty of boiled fish.

The first settlers of the place were the families of de Luna, Luncido, Sapao, Sto. Tomas, Perdigon, Alapad, Elaurza, Quipe and Cadag.

 A fiesta is celebrated every last Friday of April in honor of their patron saint, Señor San Vicente.
