The word SBBAMM was originally called DANICIAN and was organized in 1950 by the group of prominent people who were residing in Metro Manila mostly professionals, businessmen and musicians coming from the town of SIERA BULLONES the province of Bohol to provide assistance to all members of the association socially, financially and to share each and everyone an ideas for the good of the association. The word Danician was derived from people living in a barrio of “ Danicup†which incidentally most of the Danicians Officers came from. Among the prominent officers at that time were the late Herminigildo Ondoy Rebursora, the adviser of late President Carlos P. Garcia, Medong Balista, Pito Ranara, Iko Cubrado, Perping Amila and Domie Cagas.
Then, in late 1960’s it was renamed to Sierra Bullones Association where the famous COL TROADIO TECSON was the President and financer for the needs of the Association.
The birth of SBBAM in the late 70’s wherein the President was Mr Narding Butron . SBAMM became popular in Sierra-Bullones when the association imported a basketball players to play “Goodwill Games†in every barrio during the fiesta celebration in the month of MAY. Then, Atty. Samuel Namamana took over the leadership, next was Mr. Custodio Quieta . It was during the time of Mr. Carlo Dolotina as President of the association that the “Little Miss SBBAMM†was held successfully.
