what is the meaning of the name batang
Batangas /bÉËtÃ¦ÅÉ¡Ã¦s/ Â¶ BATANGAS is a name formed from the word 'batang' meaning logs (trunks or large branches of trees). Â¶ Legend has it that logs, locally known as batang, were floating all over the river. The word batang is said to be the root of Batangan, the former name of the city and the province. Â¶ HISTORICAL and CURRENT evolution of Batangas is undoubtedly tuning in with its major river in Eastern Batangas - the Nile of Batangas -the Calumpang River (Filipino: Ilog Calumpang).
