It took a few years before the elders had a meeting in this area to make it a Barrio or Barangay, and they did it successfully. Gemeniano Soria was the first one they recommended to be the Teniente del Baryo or Barangay Captain. They named this barangay "Siempre Viva" from the Spanish language "Always Alive" after they won the "Salip" in the town of Mallig in Rigodon, a dance and many more contests that they won.
