t is believed that during the colonial period, the Spaniards came to this village and saw that a particular species of tree known as kápok or káyo (white silk-cotton or Ceiba pentadra) was abundant in the place. Not too long after that, the place became known as Capucnasan—a place where kapok trees abound.
Capucnasan was part of Dalipay, a component barangay of the town of Milaor, Camarines Sur. In January 4, 1927, it was separated from Dalipay and became an independent barangay. It was also during that year when the residents built a kamalig (makeshift house) as a temporary place of worship next to the house of the late Benigna Cayonte. The kamalig was built using indigenous materials like nipa shingles and bamboo poles. The main source of livelihood in the village is farming, and this was one of the the inspirations of Capucnasan residents in choosing St. Isidore Labrador, the Patron Saint of farmers, as their protector. Putting together a permanent place of worship and constructing their barangay chapel was an endeavor of cooperation among residents. The image of St. Isidro Labrador was donated by the late Fermin Caceres. It was the determination of the late Valentin Agapito to look for a lot where the chapel of Capucnasan would be constructed. Furthermore, Exequiel Rivera donated the lot adjacent to a pavement where the community would normally gather for
barangay events. The first chapel built Capucnasan was among the first to have was similar to the original kamalig. active leaders. bec members would The Tito Agapito, barangay captain regularly and actively join formation CHAPELS sessions, and some seek the Parish of Capucnasan from 1989 to 2004, of SJTP worked out the deed of donation for sacramental rites.
