Barangay Calangahan is located at The Municipality of Lugait in the Province of Misamis Oriental in Mindanao Philippines. This is the 6th Barangay of the said Municipality and it is near at the coastal Areas and some majestic hills were lots of fruit trees and Trees can be seen. According to the stories from my GrandFather, this areas is one of the battle ground during Second World War. The Guerilla fighters lead by Native Filipino make a camp that time near at the Main road.
From the Site, the first area we will passing by is this National Road. Lots of different kinds of vehicles running in the place and it is completely in concreted. Back in the Second World War, this road was still a rocky road and only few vehicles can. Near at this Main road is the Cell site Tower located at the top of the cliff. From the National road, the majestic and tall towers can be seen. Also, this areas is the boundary point between Manticao and Lugait Misamis Oriental. The road consists of four lanes and lots of vehicles came from Iligan and Cagayan De Oro Passing by.
