Tribesmen built their own homes in the area and settled for more than 22 years sacrificing and working as a means of living up to the present. The completion of the Chico River Irrigation Dam in 1982 attracted more upland tribesmen to settle in Tabuk for a better way of living. Most transferees came to sitios of Lacnog, Madopdop, Bulo and some parts of Tabuk. Agbannawag’s population swelled promting its officials to move for its division.
