History
The site of Buguey was originally called catagayan, a place of many tagay trees. The name came about after Spanish conquistador Juan de Salcedo asked a native what the name of the place was in 1572. Subsequently, the name was shortened to Cagayan, which later became the name for the entire province and region.[1]
Buguey is believed to have originated from the Ibanag word Bugay which means "shipwreck". It was formally established as a Spanish mission in 1596. In 1771, it was raided by Moro vessels from Jolo. According to legend, the Moros looted the town's church and brought its bell with them to sea, whereupon their vessel capsized, leading residents to shout navugay ira (they have capsized).[1][2]
