Sometime later, the two decided going up stream by the river fishing and hunting, and settled down in a temporary camp site along the levelled portion of the Tucod river. Fishing is abundant for it has plenty of fish, then their hunting spree began. Their dogs start chasing wild pigs and deer’s. Being guided by his cane (tungkod or sarukod) for Alejandro Tumacder has a leg problem and just to ease him in the hard chase, not knowing he forgot his walking stick done by his amazement of the good catch. He advised his companion to make him another tungkod, to balance his body for the homeward bound to their camping site. Dragging along with them their catch, they met some friendly Ifugao Tribe named Kindipan Binuybuyan, Daulayan Hinadac, and Bullong Cahdingan who shared them some rice, for they don’t have sufficient food, to eat. They just depend on catching fish and hunting as their way of living. Telling them the story of the tungkod which was left behind, so, that place was named by the first group of people as Tucod, in memory of the tungkod which the old man use to keep himself from falling. Noticing the levelled ground, that might be a fertile land, they cleared a parcel of it to be planted with upland rice as sample if the soil is suitable for agricultural crops. After four months duration for its harvest, they are astound for the high yield of the harvest, so they invited more Ilocanos and Ifugao settlers to join in the green pasture, starting kaingins and made some rice paddies as source of livelihood.
