Cabancalan is a barrio of Mandaue City, Province of Cebu, Philippines.
History
Cabancalan is about three kilometers from the Heart of the City. Within the barangay is a huge cave covered with moss. “Bitoy” as it was called by the natives, is 20 feet deep and has running water beneath. They say, there are biological creatures inside the hole that we have never seen before. [1]
Surrounding the Bito were rice fields, which grew bancal trees. It has been said that, during afternoon meals, the rice planters would squat beneath the bancal trees.
The locals would call the place Kabancalan because when somebody wanted to go to the Bito and would ask where it was or when somebody would look for someone who was resting under the bancal trees, they would just reply, “Diha ra gayud sa may kabancalan,” (Just near the bancal trees.)
That was how it got its name.[citation needed]
