Villa Consuelo Naval

Municipality of Naval, Biliran Province

Villa Consuelo, Biliran Island, Philippines

Villa Consuelo. Formerly known as Giron (locally pronounced as gi.run), which no native could adequately explain. But it can now be told that it was apparently called Giron after the hometown in Spain (pronounced as hi.rón; Girona, formally) of the Garamendi Family (the link was traced by a simple Internet search), the earliest known owners of this mountain hacienda. The official label of the barangay, Villa Consuelo, was adopted from the name of the sister-in-law of Mr. Ben Diu, the later owner of the property. The lawyer-husband of Consuelo provided legal advice to Mr. Diu in acquiring the property.

Brgy. Villaconsuelo in Naval is composed of three sitios: Giron, Japan-Japan, and Barantayan.

It has a population of 1,764 (2010 Census).
