               Barangay Dao was established only in 1982. Maximo Franco was the first barangay captain. The first fiesta was held on January 19, 1985, in honor of the Holy Child Jesus during the term of Simeon Ambut. The first priest to hold the mass in the place was Father Glorioso Gepolongca. The first fiesta queen was Olga Butanga. 
               Father Justiniano Hingco, the town's parish priest at the time, was instrumental in putting up the chapel of the barangay, and the first set of residents to wed in the chapel were Milagros Amuallo Alinsangao, Merlina Calambro Quimot, and Nenita Bayanero Anacan. 
               Aside from rice grains, maize, bananas, nuts, and root crops, the residents pride themselves in yielding and harvesting high-value crops such as cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, chayote, and ginger. The cleanliness and the awesome works of nature is also the one they can boast to tourist and contribution to the tourism of Alimodian.
               The barangay prides itself on some attractions like Maslog Creek with a huge rock as big as a house and also the hanging bridge.
