  • The capital barangay of Badian town is Poblacion. It is located basically in the center of the town. This is where the local high school is located called Badian National High School (BNHS)is one of the two high schools in the town of Badian.
    This is also the largest of the two and many students from the neighboring town just like Moalboal, Alcantara and Ronda come to study in this high school. The lower educational facility in Badian is the Badian Central Elementary School where basically all the younger children go to school for the simple fact that it is completely free and the only elementary school and the biggest one in town. One more very important institution that is located in Poblacion is the Town Hospital where everyone from every other barangay goes to in the time of sickness. The facility has been better than the past management they have more improvements to the hospitals than anything else which is the best thing they could have done because this is where most Badianganons run to in the time of need.
    This is also the location where the town church is located the church of Santiago Apostol, which is celebrated its Fest on the 25th of July every year. Together with the Feast of Santiago Apostle is the Banig Festival which was started about 3 years ago.
    Poblacion is also where the Municipal Hall is located in sitio sawang.Thus, I believe that the municipality should ought to have more fundings in the Hospital Facility more so that the roads that they are trying to fix every single year Poblacion has many sitios which is the little corners of Poblacion which is residential or commercial properties.
    Some of these sitios are; Syma, Walog, Sawang, HighWay,and many more. This is the only urban place in Badian compared to any other barangays that surround the town. Poblacion is also the most populated barangay in all of Badian. Which has 3854 population as of 2007 Census.
    Poblacion is where the marketplace is located. Thus, most of the trading is here. Many vendors from all over town will show up mostly on Saturdays and Sundays for the trading.
