Galimuyod

This town, formerly known as Cabisilan, was once the biggest barrio of Candon during the Spanish Regime.A land dispute between them and residents of neighboring Sapang, another barrio of Candon, resulted in a "gin-nuyod" (Ilocano for "tug-of-war") contest, a common game during those days, to settle it.The old folks renamed the barrio Galimuyod, from the Ilocano words tali ("rope") and ginuyod ("pulled").[3] The population density was 300 inhabitants per square kilometre (780/sq mi).Galimuyod, belonging to the second congressional district of the province of Ilocos Sur, is governed by a mayor designated as its local chief executive and by a municipal council as its legislative body in accordance with the Local Government Code.
