In the Beginning...


This sight can be seen when you enter the Butuan City Library.

Butuan is called "Historic Butuan" because pre-historic boats called Balangays were found here a testament to how old Butuan really is. The boats were carbon dated at 320 AD, 90 AD, and 1250 AD. (RER-PIA 13 Caraga). It was said that there was no Philippines yet but Butuan was already a thriving community (barangay).

I am not so good with history so if you are interested about these sort of things I googled and found these links:
