Centuries ago the barrio (village) of Guina-ang used to be part of Chonglian. At the height of inter-tribal conflicts, the collective councils of elders of the different wards of Mainit allowed the hamlet to be settled and to serve as lookout post against hostile intents from enemies from the south of the citadel of Mainit. Those days are long gone obviously, and Guina-ang ended up being settled by many families with roots from Mainit, as well as from nearby Maligcong and Dalican.
