michaelbauzon.com – memories of bislig by jobarclix
from http://www.michaelbauzon.com:
have you ever wondered where the city got its unique name? I asked a friend from Bislig and she told me that the word came from “Best Legs”! The water bursted out my mouth! I thought she was just kidding. According to the “legend” a foreigner who visited the place remarked “Wow! Best legs!” as he saw the beautiful legs of the women passing by. The word “best legs” spread like wildfire and later became “bislig” as locals had the difficulty in pronouncing the words.

BISLIG ALREADY THE NAME OF THE PLACE EVEN IN THE OLD SPANISH MAPS OF THE PHILIPPINE WAY BACK 1700s. HOW COME “BEST LEGS” AT THE TIME IT IS SPANISH LANGUAGE. AMERICANS CAME ONLY IN 1800S.
