The people then of the neighboring towns specifically those from the Ilocos Region believed that the early \”Besaos\” were headhunters. The word later on evolved as it is now called – Besao.

Besao is presently composed of 14 barangays, namely: Agawa, Ambagiw, Banguitan, Besao West, Besao East, Catengan, Gueday, Kin-iway, Lacmaaan, Laylaya, Padanga, Payeo, Suquib and Tamboan.
