[edit] Foklore
In an earlier time, Katunian, the greatest of the Gods of the Kalingas, left in one of his travels a drop of water upon an ancient tree. This drop trickled down and like a metal of great magnetic force, attracted brooks and rivulets to form a river which is now called the Pasil River.[2]
