==Etymology== Mabitac was once known as an abundant hunting ground for wild game several centuries ago. Early inhabitants used numerous traps, locally called bitag, to catch animals. As a result, the area came to be known as “Mabitag,” meaning “a place with many traps,” which eventually evolved into its present name, Mabitac.
