Tagalog
Etymology
tl the area used to be peaceful farmland until a group of rebels brought chaos, leading the people to pray "Ipag-adya mo po kami sa gutom, sa giyera, at sa peste" ("Please save us from hunger, war, and pestilence"). One day, a group of Spanish soldiers came and asked the name of the barrio. The people were on their knees and kept repeating the word "ipag-adya" which the Spaniards mistakenly thought it was the name of the barangay and later became "Adya".
