History

 

 

 

The name "Polilio" derives its name from the Chinese word "Pulilu", which means beautiful island with plenty of food. Afterwards, due to language difficulties, its first name "Pulilu" then became "Pulilio". The Tradings in this island was very lively and rich way back in the year 1500s between Malays, Hindu, Chinese, and Tagalogs.

In the mid-1500s, Spaniards came to the island and they built there a chapel. They took-charge the management of the island and many changes and development they brought there upon their times.

Many centuries and generations were past, but still, the Polilio Island nowadays is still here and alive. It passed the test of time and its existence will continue and getting better.
