Balute Cove

The land bridges which connect Balute and Ungos due to high tides and high sea water disappeared, forming a cove. This cove turned out to be the shelter and hiding areas of all sea-going vessels and boats from the harshness of typhoon and Northeasterly winds. The origin of Real has no traditional folklore to boast. Its name came into existence as a result of the landing of Spanish forces at the place during the advent of its regime. The Spaniards made it a part of its territory with the name "Puerto - Real". From the name Real was derived. According to the old folks, Spanish galleons and ships docked at the port; reinforced forces were stationed at the nearby place and at "Binangonan del Ampon" the "Binangonan Malayo" now infanta.
From then on, Real became a part of history as part of Spanish conquistadores, by the Japanese and now by foreign traders importing lumbers and logs from the Philippines being the nearest place from the pacific seaboard. With the coming of the Spaniards, the area as told by the old folks was used as a Puerto (port) where Spanish Forces camped. It was in 1723, (Real was still barrio of Binangonan del Ampon) when Spaniards through the help of Filipino slaves constructed castle cum fortress to be used as their camp. These made from many hard woods and have deep mouth around it. Then in 1803, Binangonan del Ampon became part of Nueva Ecija, then of Laguna and later on of Tayabas now Quezon. However on the year 1883, a cove was established/created at Balute with the increasing volume of sea waters that claimed and covered the swampy and muddy land bridge between Ungos and Northern Balute. This formed body of waters now served as covered ground against the might of tropical typhoons and Northeasterly winds.
