Tominawog is one of 29 barangays or villages in the municipality of San Jose, Camarines Sur in the Philippines.[1]
Etymology
There was a time in this place when the farmers have no harvest because the grains of palay were empty. Since they were empty, the rice plant remained stiffly standing. The Bicol term for stiff is "tuog". It was this incident that people called the stiffness of the rice plants as "Tominuog", then later on, "Tominawog" which was taken from the word "Tominuog," which is now the name of the place.[2]
