OMNE TRIUM PERFECTUM. “The rule of three” principle suggests things that come in threes are inherently more humorous, satisfying and effective than any other number of things.
Truly indeed, the moniker “Sa Ika To Na” which evolved into our official name "Sikatuna", describes the significance of the NUMBER THREE (3) in our journey to townhood. Firstly, the name Sikatuna is our third name after Cambojod and Cornago. Second, the original seven component barrios of Sikatuna were taken from the three (3) neighboring towns of Alburquerque, Balilihan, and Loboc. Third, the newly created town of Sikatuna sits in a political territory that was re-defined and changed by law for the third time. Fourthly, the newly created town of Sikatuna is our third mother-town after Albur and Baclayon. Fifthly, the proposal to create the town of Sikatuna out of Barrio Cornago passed thru the hands of three (3) Governor Generals beginning with James Francis Smith, William Cameron Forbes, then finally with Francis Burton Harrison who approved and signed Executive Order No. 88, today in history

SAIKATONA was the famous moniker coined by the distinguised Miguel Oppus (Mayor of Baclayon) that describes our journey to townhood from Barrio CAMBOJOD of Baclayon, to Barrio CORNAGO of Alburquerque, and finally to the Town SIKATUNA Bohol. “SA IKA TO NA nahimong lungsod ang Sikatuna” , was the witty remark of Miguel Oppus describing our historic leap to three territories and three political struggles. This feat, befits us the name SIKATUNA from the moniker SAIKATONA.
