It is mainly an agricultural community with rice, sugarcane, and corn as the principal products. It was a sitio of Linabo named Sawaga. Due to insufficient funding for its development, Tiburcio Ando, a resident of Sawaga and Linabo barangay treasurer, petitioned for its conversion into a regular barangay. On December 8, 1988, it was approved and the new barangay was renamed Violeta, in honor of Violeta Tabios Labaria, the lawmaker who sponsored its creation.[3] The name "Sawaga" is still in use, such as in its only public school, Sawaga Elementary School.[4] However, it has fallen into disfavor to avoid confusion with the Sawaga River.
