Ever wondered where the name ๐ ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฎ๐๐ท๐ฎ๐ came from?
One popular story says travelers had to climb steep mountain trails just to reach the town. Exhausted, they would sigh:
"๐๐ฎ๐... ๐ต๐ฎ๐... ๐ต๐ฎ๐..."
With the Tagalog prefix "ma-" meaning "many," the place became known as Majayjayโthe place of many sighs. While this is a traditional explanation rather than a proven fact, it has become one of the town's best-loved origin stories.
