History

Originally and before Spain Invasion and later American Invasion, majority people living in Linamon were Bisaya In folk story from the old leaders said, during Spain occupation, some of the leaders from the interior areas of Lanao del Morte they usually cross the beach of municipality of Kolambugan to the beaches of Ozamiz City by boat to abduct people living in other side and make them slaves.

In long living and social process and sometimes in 1935 – 1944, under the National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA) of the Commonwealth Government, there was a Philippine House of Representatives proposal to utilize the Island of Mindanao and use some land to help the Philippine Government, and one of the opposition that time is Congressman Datu Salipada Khalid Pendatun. The proposal was approved and signed by President Manuel L. Quezon, he is the president that time. The settlers are compose of people have knowledge about skill job, Agri Technician, Engineers, Farming.

The settlers are compose of different people from the Islands of Visayas and Island Luzon that has knowledge and experience of Agriculture, Technical, Farming, Lumber, Carpenter etc. The first batch transport were landed to the following Areas:

  • Some parts of Zamboanga
  • Misamis Occidental
  • Lanao del Norte
  • Misamis Oriental
  • Some part of Surigao
  • Some part of Davao
  • Some Part of Cotabato

In Lanao del Norte, the transport of settlers was peacefully successful due to the smooth negotiations with the Maranao Tribal Leaders and Land Lords. As Welcome sign, the Land lords has donate piece of land (piece of land before are more than 5 hectares) to start the settlers life as beginning of life. In long run and process, the family of settler works to the land owners and as a gift since they are very good workers, the land lord gave the small piece of land as a gift. Some say that, settlers trade they made the business to the land lord just few item exchange of lands.
