     GUINTUBSAN, a seacoast about two kilometers almost north of Odiongan town and just a few hundred meters south of the Odiongan Dock, is the place where Miguel Cirilo, a prominent man of the town during his time, was ransomed by the Odiongan people from the Moros during the days of Moro piracy. The brave, lame, Moro chieftain, Dejapar and his men were met here by Captain Zaqueo, the famous Looc chieftain and his warriors. Here, the four carabaos and a hundred cavans of rice were delivered to the Moros as ransom for the freedom of Miguel Cirilo. The seacoast is now called 'Guintubsan' meaning a place where someone was ransomed. - Mateo Meñez on his book Brief History of a Typical Philippine Town
