You can catch a jeepney ride near the Caltex Station in Daraga. Fare is sixteen pesos. Anislag boast of a quiet neighborhood having been lived by families who had set their roots in the place. When it welcomed the relocation site in 2007 which added thousands to its population, it only changed for the better. Peace and order was maintained. And just this year a Police Station was installed. Commun
ication is not a problem. While four years ago, the cellphone signal was static,it is now just a history. You can access Globe and Smart signals anywhere. Last year it welcomed landline and internet connection powered by Globelines. Cable connection is already on the work. Electric power source is not a problem either, even the outskirts of Anislag has electricity lines. Though there is the occasional brownout as in most places, power resume as soon as the problem is reported. There is an abundance of water supply too from the Daraga Water District. New business establishments sprouted which are enough to cater the day to day needs of its residents. A market strategically arose near school campuses and relocation site. It was such a relief for residents to no longer go to the town proper for everyday needs. Another welcome addition were tertiary level schools which enabled graduates from high school to pursue further studies. The DHRDC-TESDA and SL Technological College Anislag Branch brought hope and employment among our youths. Anislag is sub-divided into seven “purok” namely:
Purok 1 – known as Puro located at the southernmost part. The main landmark would be the Magnolia Dressing Plant. This is also the entry point to the neighboring highland barangays of Legazpi. Popular sitios “Buguit” and “Kamagong”, which even celebrate its own fiestas, are located here. Purok 2- known as the Centro. The Old Catholic church stood there that’s why it might have been the center of economic enterprise then. These days the barangay market is located here right in front of the street leading to the Relocation site. Not to miss on this area is the Anislag National High School campus. Purok 3 - It is where the Iglesia ni Cristo Church stood. Someone from Anislag would point it out as “sayo ka Listana.” The residence of the family who owned a big handicraft business in the sixties. Nowadays, you just have to say, “sa may Baldo”, the site of another Relocation Project. Purok 4 – also called “Binisitan”. It is adjacent to Barangay Namantao and the gateway of Anislag if you are coming from Daraga. A signage would welcome visitors on this zone. Purok 5 - the”Tinago”, maybe because the most part is positioned on inner part of the barangay. This is where the elementary school is located. Barangay Maopi and other parts of Camalig can be accessed via the road leading to elementary school and barangay Canarom via the street leading to the Anislag Catholic Cemetery. Purok 6 – Cabagñan. It is one of the densely populated areas and the Catholic Church is situated here. Just a stone’s throw are the barangay hall, the day care center and the newly installed police sub-station. Purok 7 – it used to be called “Abungan” and was previously part of Purok 5. Now it is better known as the relocation site and is also home to the Don Alfonso Bichara Memorial Hospital and the Anislag Catholic Cemetery. more on Anislag...........
