The Bamboo Village of the South

Bula is also known as The Bamboo Village of the south because of its main product bamboo. The term "Bula" is coined from the legend during the colonization of Spain during the historic time when an old man splitting the bamboo and asked by the Spaniards to what place is they were stepping and the old man thought that the Spaniards were asking to what object is he holding and he confidently answered "Bu-la".

After so many times, the people who live in Bula were called Bulaeños. Then these Bulaeños were very smart and invented or created native products made of bamboo. One of these is the latest product called "Bamboo Tiles" located at the Mayor's office. How amazing it was!

Language

Rinconada Bikol, spoken in Camarines Sur Province, Philippines, is one of several languages that compose the Inland Bikol group of the Bikol languages. It belongs to the Austronesian language family that also includes Māori, Hawaiian, Malagasy, Tagalog, Indonesian and Malay. The closest relatives to this language outside Bicol are Aklanon, Waray-waray and, to a lesser extent,Tagalog specifically the dialect of Batangas. Rinconada Bikol is considered by most Bicolanos to be one of the most difficult varieties of Bikol.^{[citation needed]}

This is also the language adopted by the aboriginal or indigenous population of Agta/Aeta (the Negrito) in the surrounding mountainous areas. Rinconada was brought to the Negritos by the Austronesian people when they engaged in commerce and trade with them. The original language of the aboriginal people is unknown, but it is believed that it contributed to Rinconada's accent, vocabulary and lexicon.^{[citation needed]}

The name of the language is derived from the name of the place where it originated, developed and is largely spoken: Rinconada District (in Camarines Sur province) which was formerly called "Sumagang". It is erroneously said to be from the Spanish word arrinconada which means cornered. There is a place in Spain that bears the same name (La Rinconada), adding credence to the suggestion that Rinconada is truly a Spanish word. It could have been the name that was given by the Spaniards to the then newly explored and colonized part of Bicol. Same logic can be attributed from the La Rinconada ofChile, which was also a Spanish colony. However, the origin of the word "Rinconada" is still a matter of debate.
