The name ALABAT which has been used as it is now, came from the word “Alâbât” (local Tagalog word for balustrade). The early inhabitants of this place made balustrades across their doors to prevent small children from walking out of the house or falling from the stairwells.
Long before civilized men settled in Alabat island, the mountains were already inhabited by the “Agta”(aborigines). Nomadic by nature, they will clean patches of land, plant rice and vegetables and hunt. After harvest, they will transfer to another part of the forest and repeat the cycle. The elder of the community is their leader and adviser. During drought, they will make temporary houses near the shore and use fishing as their primary means of livelihood.
