HISTORY This barrio was a river delta when the Spaniards arrived here. At that time, the place was called "Lama-Lama" by the natives because here lived a Datu named Lama who was the head of the barrio. Upon seeing this place, the Spaniards noticed that it resembled the Spanish town of Tetuan in Morocco where the Moors lived, so they called this barrio Tetuan. The Spaniards made Saint Ignatius of Loyola their Patron Saint. This was taken after the name of Captain in the army who was noted for his sterling character and courage.
