Ginatilan was once a barrio of the Municipality of Samboan. The place got its name from the word “Hinatdan” due to the frequent bringing of necessary things needed in the celebration of the mass, so the place was called “Hinatdan” and was later changed to “Ginatilan” since the Spanish Officials Found it hard to pronounce the word “Hinatdan”.

It was very unfortunate when we came to Anao because it was very slippery and the motor bike can’t go to Anao.. We fell down, so we decided to walked.. It was the ugliest road I’ve ever seen…
i’m planning to go back and i was asking somebody if the road now is ok but they answered that: Still in progress..
So, thanks to the mayor of Ginatilan,. Mayor Dean Singco.. I hope you will continue to repair the road until Anao…
