History


Before its creation as a separate and independent Political Unit, Pigcawayan together with Alamada and Libungan were component barangays of Midsayap. Pigcawayan, however at that time was more progressive than the two mentioned.

How Pigcawayan got its name remains undocumented, however two versions were given by the early settlers and passed from one generation to another.

The first version was that the place now known as Pigcawayan was a battleground for the Iranuns and the Maguindanaons. Due to this fighting the inhabitants would abandon the place to be occupied by the victors. From this evolved the Maguindanaon word "Pigawaan," which meant an abandoned place.

The second version, refers to an incident when an American school superintendent visited the place. The superintendent encountered people roasting a pig with the use of bamboo pole rotated over live charcoal. The words "pig bamboo," as said by the superintendent, were translated into the local dialect Pigcawayan the present name of the municipality.
