GENERAL INFORMATION Origin of Barangay Name. Long time ago, there lived in the community a person named Ching. He was very popular to the people because of his hospitality and kindness. Many people even from distant places loved to visit him at his place. Whenever travelers pass by and the people ask their destination, the reply of the travelers would always be tus-Ching, an Ibaloi phrase which means ‘to visit Ching’. From then on, the community people knew every traveler was going to Ching’s place. Soon the place became known to be called ‘Tu-Ching’. The name was changed later on and was pronounced as Tuding, which up to now is still the name of the locality. Early Settlers.
