BARANGAY KALAWISAN

CITY OF LAPU-LAPU

Welcome Message

Kalawisan derived its name from the word “Lawis” which means a strip of land situated at the seashore and surrounded by swampy areas or marshy land. During the post-liberation in 1944, Kalawisan was still a sitio of Brgy. Babag.

In 1955, through the efforts of the late Patricio Toring who was then a Municipal Councilor of Opon, Kalawisan got its independence from being a sitio of Brgy. Babag to a separate barangay under the Municipality of Opon, now known as Lapu-Lapu City.

Today, Barangay Kalawisan is a thriving community. Mainly a residential urban area where residents can live comfortably within the City of Lapu-Lapu, with developments of subdivisions and several commercial establishments.
