Welcome to Barangay Bonawon
Early residents of the barangay mostly believed that the name Bonawon came from the Visayan word 'Bugnawon' which means bugnaw nga panahon or cold yet comforting weather.[3]
Bonawon's early residents were primarily composed of refugees from Mindanao who escape from Moro and military conflicts in the region during the 60’s and 70’s. The village's abundance in marine resources and being an ideal location for both farming and fishing were the factors driving immigrants to settle in the village.[4]
