Barangay Malonoy
Sang una nga tiempo, sang nag-umpisa ang WWII, isa ka adlaw, ang mga Hapones nagsururunod lakat sa dalanon kag nakalab-ot sila sa Barangay Malonoy, dala pamatay sang mga Pilipino nga ila masumalang.
Sa sadto nga ti-on, ang Barangay Malonoy matawhay kag mamingaw nga lugar, laban katalunan kag malaka ang mga pamalay.
May isa ka tawo nga nagapananggot sang lubi. Samtang nagalakat ang mga Hapon sa dalanon, ini siya nakita sa ibabaw sang lubi nga nagakuha sang tuba. Ila ini ginpapanaog kag ginkuha ang tuba kag gin-ubos inom. Pagkatapos ila ginpamangkot ang ini nga tawo nga nagahingalanan nga Atanacio Moron, kon ano ang ngalan sang lugar. Sanglit ini nga tawo maluya kag nagapalanglapsi sa kahadlok nga ini siya pagapatyon. Nagsabat siya nga Marungoy, buot hambalon sang tawo, ini nga lugar “maluya” kag “malinong”.
Halin sadto nga panahon ang lugar nakilala nga Marungoy kag sang paglipas sang panahon ang Marungoy nangin MALONOY.
