One story tells that during earlier time, a group of people lived in the place which was surrounded with white sand from point to point. When high tide came, many turtles went up and lay eggs at night time. When the people are already awake at daytime, they looked for these eggs because it was said to be a medicine for good health. “TIG” means turtle, “TABON” means under the sand, meaning “the eggs covered with white sand.” | |||
