HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The name Casulang came from a certain land owner cultivator of a small mountain found at the South Western part of the barangay. Casulang was then a sitio of Pandan.

Mariano Tiongson served as the adviser being an Asendero of Casulang.
In the year 1965, Sergio Tiongson initiated the barangay to be named after his father and Casulang became M. Tiongson. This was approved in the same year. The barangay is composed of sitio Managa-naga, Bunglas, Tugawi, Dolongan and Pagsabangan.
