    During the initial years of settlements development of a place found to have vast plains and fertile lands, a settler named Francisco Llameg bravely visited the place by the negritos who are known to be nomadic in nature for they established no permanent settlements.

    (Bayat dagiti immuna a tawen ti panagrang-ay dagiti pagtaengan ti maysa a lugar a nasarakan nga addaan kadagiti nalawa a tanap ken nabunga a daga, ti maysa a nagindeg nga agnagan iti Francisco Llameg ket situtured a simmarungkar iti lugar babaen dagiti Agta a naamammuan nga agakar-akar iti nakaparsuaan gapu ta impasdekda ti awan a permanente a pagtaengan.)

It was said that during the first visit of Francisco to the place, he saw the vast plains and potential of the same in terms of agriculture.

(Naikuna a bayat ti umuna a panagbisita ni Francisco iti lugar, nakitana ti nalawa a tanap ken potensial ti isu met laeng no maipapan iti agrikultura.)

Thus, he went back to native place, Sanchez Mira, and recruited other families to settle to the place which by that time has no known name.

(Gapuna, isu ket nagsubli idiay katutubo a lugar, ti Sanchez Mira, ken nangrekrut kadagiti dadduma a pamilia tapno agtaeng iti lugar nga iti dayta a panawen ket awan pay ti ammo a nagan.)

These families became the first to settle to the place and the initial years.

(Dagitoy a pamilia ti nagbalin nga immuna a nagnaed iti lugar ken kadagiti damo a tawen.)

They spent their time by devoting themselves in clearing the vast plains and making the same suitable for agriculture.

(Binusbosda ti panawenda babaen ti panangipaayda iti bagbagida iti panangdalus kadagiti nalawa a tanap ken panangaramidda iti isu met laeng a maibagay iti agrikultura.)

The episode that gave the place its original name Malunog, happened shortly after the early occupation of the place by the settlers.

(Ti pabuya a nangted ti lugar iti orihinal a naganna a Malunog, ket napasamak di nagbayag kalpasan ti nasapa a pannakasakup ti lugar babaen dagiti nagindeg)
