According to the old folks, it was called Mabolo by a group of settlers because “mabolo” is a Spanish term for camagong, a kind of tree which is hard and was found to be abundantly grown in place. It was believed that this happened within the third quarter of the 18th century (1850-1875).
At first, Mabolo was one solid sitio, as years passed by sitios sprouted in the following order : Main Barangay (barrio) along the National Highways; Pagdaicon eastward beside the Bikol River, Calsas, westward beside the Bikol River and San Miguel adjacent to Calsada, along the provincial road to Gainza. Sometimes in 1960’s Pagdaicon was divided into two sitios, Poon and Poro when rabuz organization were given empetus. Mabolo has now six zones: Mabolo Centro, Zone ; Calsada, Zone 2; Pagdaicon Poon, Zone 3; San Miguel, Zone 4; Pagdaicon Poro, Zone 5 and Mabolo boundary, zone 6
In the pre-war days, MAbolo was headed by so-called Delgado with two (2) assistant Delegatos. In the 1950’s, it was headed by a Teniente public Act 7160, promulgated in 1991.
The people of Mabolo are engaged in different trades such as farming, vegetable planting, fishing, fish and vegetable vending, buy and sell, store owners, shoe repairs, tricycle drivers, home industries and labourers.
