Brief History of Barangay Cannery Site

            Brief History of Barangay Cannery Site

            Barangay Cannery Site used to be part of the old Poblacion of the Municipality of Polomolok. Farmlots, which were products of the land distribution scheme of the NLSA, dot the rolling landscape of the area. The coming of Dole Philippines, Inc. in the 60’s brought about major change not only in the topographical landscape but also in the arrival of people from as far as the Luzon and Visayas Islands and neighboring provinces who seek greener pastures.
               Communities flourished  and commercial activity in the area improved due to the massive employment campaign of Dole Philippines, Incorporated, bringing in more people from neighboring municipalities who established residence in the area. 

        In August 1986, a petition letter, initiated by then President of the Federated Purok Mr, Dionisio B. Acosta was forwarded to the Barangay Council of Barangay Poblacion chaired by then Barangay Captain Eustaquio F. Candari, Sr. . Resolution no. 33 of the Barangay Council was then forwarded to the Municipal Officials favorably endorsing the petition for the creation of Barangay Cannery Site. 
           
           In November of the same year, Resolution no. 74 series of 1986 of the Sangguniang Bayan was passed and approved giving full status and personality of and for the conversion of Barangay Cannery Site. In December of the same year, resolution no 477 enacting Ordinance no. 22 of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of the Province of South Cotabato was passed and approved creating Cannery Site into a regular barangay  of the Municipality of Polomolok.  

             By virtue of a referendum, Cannery Site was officially created into a regular Barangay in September 1991.
