Waliswis, Brgy. Tagbac, Lubang Island

SITIO WALISWIS, BARANGAY TAGBAC

I can find very little information on the fishing village of Waliswis on the WWW. So I hope that the pictures on this page helps to fill in a few gaps.

On the Tagbac Cove sea front, sitio Waliswis of barangay Tagbac, appears to be bounded on the Western side by the Tagbac - Looc National Road and the estuary of the Tagbac Creek on the Eastern side.

During the period 1975 - 1996 many Vietnamese boat people landed in the Philippines.

A boat filled with Vietnamese refugees was stranded in Tagbac cove circa 1978. The inhabitants and the local government of Lubang helped them.

After staying in Lubang Island for a few months, they were sent to the refugee processing center in the province of Bataan.

The English translation of the Tagalog word 'Waliswis' is said to be - 'swishing sound of branches in the wind'.
