history
Sikatuna is a relatively young community that was only founded after the end of the Spanish colonial era on December 5, 1917. Before that, the center of Sikatunas (Poblacion 1 and Poblacion 2) belonged to the neighboring municipality of Alburquerque as Barangay Comago . With Comago's appointment as an independent community, four more barangays from Alburquerque were assigned to it (Libjo, Abucay Sur, Abucay Norte, and Can-agong), as well as two previously to the communities of Loboc (Cambuac Sur and Cambuac Norte) and Balilihan (Badiang and Bahaybahay) ) belonging barangays.
The community was named after Datu Sikatuna , an important chief in the history of Bohol from the 16th century, who formed a blood brotherhood with the Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi in 1565 .
