The villagers of this barangay is not originated here, and the true residents of this barangay lived in Boulevard, that was a long time ago, few years, the people of boulevard transfered to this area, before it was known as Campo Islam, the residents of this barangay before were Samals of boulevard (fishermans living by the sea) then when they transfered here in this Area, they elected a barangay leader, it was President Marcos time, they elected Captain Marumin Sampang, a brave and kind police officer of the Area, so the people decided to chose him to be the Barangay captain when Campo Islam was not still build... the image of Campo Islam was a forestlike barangay, it has a swamp in the middle of the area.. and the approximate diameter was 40 meters in diameter... this swamp were useful for them, they use it for their daily living... when Barangay Marumin Sampang observed that the residents of this barangay were multiplying, he ask for a quick action from President Marcos to cover the swamp because it is also risky for the young ones, the government covered it with the old machineries, soils, and sea stones and donated a living needs for the residents, Then when the barangay was fully covered and more spaces where gained, the residents starts to proliferate in each area od the barangay, after a while, there were more friendly people, a peaceful barangay but there were still missing, when the wife of the Barangay Captain went to the pueblo to sell some meriendas, the customers loved her products and one day one of them asked for the place where she lives, she wondered what to say, but then she just said that, "it was a place where old machineries dump is".. the customer didnt get what she said, so she changed the topic because the barangay still doesnt have a name.. until she came back home and asked his husband the Barangay Captain, his husband answered, It is "Panamin" which means "For Reflection" and the people where starts calling it Panamin, until suddenly a Muslim Missionary came in the Barangay and lived here. He was suprised that the people of the barangay is hospitable, well mannered, Respectul and show the humiliation and of the friendly people... he was really impressed and proud to be part of the peaceful barangay... Until one day he proclaimed it to the Barangay Captain Marumin Sampang and showed his inspiration to the Barangay, he asked to change the name and baptized it as "Kampung Islam/Campo Islam" which means PEACEFUL FIELD/CAMP.. until it was declared by the Barangay Captain and the government approved it... Nowadays, the residents are being multiplied but the peacefulness and cheers of the residents are remaining still in the Area, the people are multi-talented and the residents are mixed-matched.... It was a good living are for me and you will like it to be here...
