Its former name was derived from Bernardo Carpio, a figure in Philippine mythology who was rebuked by the gods because of his insolence. Legend states that he was chained forever in the Montalban gorge, cursed to keep two mountains from colliding with each other.

<br/><h3 class='text-white'>Cagbalete Old Mangroves, Mauban, Quezon</h3>

                      Home to a number of species of animals such as Kingfishers, parrots, wild ducks, tabon birds and others, Cagbalete Island is also the habitat of the coconut crab or “kuray” (a Cagbalete favorite),  starfishes, “alimasag”, “umang”, etc., and a long time ago, the “pawikan” (giant sea turtle). In the last 5 years, the local townfolks have reported several sightings of threatened and endangered species such as sea turtles, young whalesharks and dugongs foraging in the sea and mangrove areas. We have also organized the Cagbalete Beach Owners and Bantay Dagat Cooperation in 2013 to stop dynamite & illegal fishing in Cagbalete. This has been very effective as shown by more marine species being seen near the shore of Cagbalete like manta rays, dolphins, sea turtles, and various fishes. The corals are also getting healthy and growing! A marine sanctuary is now being planned and may soon be established at Cagbalete.
