13°42′5″N 122°51′25″E / 13.70139°N 122.85694°E / 13.70139; 122.85694 Binahian a barangay of Sipocot, Camarines Sur (Region V) in the Philippines on the eastern shoreline of Ragay Gulf. Its neighbouring barangays include Caima, Manlubang, Lipilip, and Carayrayan (all from the town of Sipocot) and Bangon of Lupi.

The native dialect spoken in Binahian is Bikol, or as some would claim, Mainland Bikolnon. This can be understood by the Bicolanos in all provinces of Region V unlike other Bikol dialects, which vary from town to town and can be very hard to understand.

Earning a Living

Because of its remote location along the coast, many of the residents depend on fishing to bring food to the table, whilst others run water taxis to bring and fetch passengers to Tagbac, the nearest harbour with access to the mainland. Binahian has many sari-sari (variety) stores, and a couple of copra dealers; otherwise the main industry is agriculture. Coffee, rice and other seasonal crops such as mongo beans, corn, tomatoes, and other ethnic vegetables are grown in smallholdings to help meet the needs of the population. Some locals have poultry, pig or fish farms, and so the village always has a wide variety of truly local products on offer.

The School

Binahian Elementary School is the only educational institution the village has.

Visible Improvements

There is now a sizable Roman Catholic Church and a few-meter-break-water from the shore that provides convenience to those who travel by water taxis. The pathway from the village to Caima National High School has finally been started and expected to finish in a couple of months. The unfinished sea-wall or breakwater in Nabuslit is expected to resume construction.

The Churches

Binahian is now the seat of the 22nd parish in the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Prelature of Libmanan (Created in 1989 December 9). The parish is named under the patronage of St. Anthony of Padua. Canonically Erected as a parish on June 13, 2002, the first pastor is a 29 year old Rev. Fr. Apolinar Rull Napoles Jr. There are nine (9) barangays being taken care of by the pastoral program and ministry of the Parish. Seven barangays are from the west mountain and seaside of the municipality of Sipocot (Bagong Sirang, Lipilip, Carayrayan, Gabi, Caima, Binahian, Manlubang), one from the municipality of Libmanan (Caima-Libmanan), and one from the municipality of Lupi (Bangon-Lupi).

A Born Again Christian Church, under the umbrella of Asian Christian Charismatic Fellowship, also thrives. Pastor Palermo and Pastor Joe Mangampo started sharing the Gospel/Good News - A Bible Based Doctrine - in the late 1970s.

Medical Assistance

There is no hospital nor a good clinic yet that could give immediate treatment when a resident needs an urgent attention or any medical help. Provision of medicines at the barangay center is quite limited.

However, the municipal health office stationed a midwife to assist the pregnant women for obvious reasons.

The Leadership

Just like any other community, Binahian is headed by a Barangay Captain who oversees the entire village with the assistance of the other Barangay Officials and volunteer peacekeepers. He also represents the people of the Barangay in any government conferences and/or meetings concerning any development, new policies and the like which he will, in turn, disseminate to the whole village afterwards.
