History

This place was one of the oldest barangays in Javier, Leyte, and, in fact, Pinocawan was already an established barangay of Abuyog even before the birth of then Bugho as new settlement in the early 1900s. Later, Pinocawan adopted Bugho community as its sitio but it became one of the few barangays to be included on the overture of Bugho as new town in conformance to Resolution No. 7 of 1959 for the Municipal Council of Abuyog to convert Bugho into separate independent municipality from Abuyog.
