Tag-CHOLERA. Tag-BANGOG. 1883. The year cholera reached Butuan and spread throughout Agusan and Surigao like wildfire. By Dec 1883...they were burrying people by the hundreds... in Cabadbaran, Santiago, Tubay, San Roque. By 1884, Jabonga and Mainit saw the epidemic crawled into the households. I still recall the grimm tales of this epidemic from my Lolo Bitoy and Lola Tisay... on my ocassional chit chat with them in the 1980s. Now, I am reading these all from actual historical accounts and archival evidences. The curse tag-kolera kaw... binangog.... must have been from this horrific experience of our forefathers.
