During the Spanish era, a group of natives carrying bows and arrows were approached by some Spaniards traversing the very fertile tracks of land in Davao. One Lopez Jaena Pacheco, a conquistador during the administration of Governor Claveria serving as the head of the group, inquired about the name of the place from the barefooted natives. Believing that the Spaniards were asking where they were bound to, the natives answered: “padigos” which means “to take a bath”. Since then the place was identified as Digos.

Barangays of Digos City, in the Davao del Sur Province in Region XI in the Republic of The Philippines
Aplaya • Balabag • Binaton • Cogon • Colorado • Dawis • Dulangan • Goma • Igpit • Kapatagan • Kiagot • Lungag • Mahayahay • Matti • Ruparan • San Agustin • San Jose • San Miguel • San Roque • Sinawilan • Soong • Tiguman • Tres De Mayo • Zone 1 • Zone 2 • Zone 3

The Philippines has been a "decentralized" form of government since 1991, contrary to what most Filipinos think. Ever since the creation of Republic Act 7160, each LGU is responsible for its own domain. Even the smallest LGU the barangay creates its own Budget. It is not dependent on handouts from the city, municipality or province. "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!", it does not exist anymore. The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. "Budgetary planning has been DECENTRALIZED since 1991". It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem.
