Samal island was first offered to Davao City in exchange for an approximate area in Paquibato district. This was made years after the three Davao provinces were organized in 1967. But then city mayor Elias B. Lopez, a pure-blooded Bagobo, stuck to his gun, choosing instead to retain the city’s control of the district, a contiguous tribal area. As a result, Davao del Norte continues to administer the island and its twin, Talikud.
Nevertheless, Rodolfo P. del Rosario, an assemblyman of Davao del Norte, made a proposal to link the city and Samal in January 1979. With the ascendancy of Del Rosario as governor on June 30, 1998, the march to develop the island was earnestly pursued with help from Rep. Antonio R. Floirendo Jr., of the province’s second congressional district. A circumferential road was built linking the three reduced towns, igniting the rise of many coastal businesses and resorts in the island city and across.
