The name Barangay Mabolo was named after fruit-bearing trees called Mabolo which grew abundantly in this area during the Spanish occupation. The fruit is delicious, sweet-smelling and in tempting red. There is no explanation how tree got its name.

the name of the barangay which the folk adopt up to now.
