During the midst of Bagyong Ruby and Super Typhoon Yolanda, The barangay was totally devastated. And it is being neglected by the National government until now that it does not get any centavo for the Yolanda Fund for any government projects. The natives are very thankful to Rotary Club of Dasmariñas Makati for the pangkabuhayan project that they have embodied to the resident as well as The Catholic relief service for the housing project.[2]
The first settlement of the Barangay was established on the end part of the Island "DARNASAN", but due to it is not accessible nor it is not ideal for creating a port the native decided to transfer the barangay to 'RAWIS". As the time fly fast, the Barrio is now totally flourished while the major source of income was still deep sea fishing. The feast of Nuestra Señora Del Carmen on July 15–16 is the major event of the Barangay.
Hiliabaan has 4 schools: Hilabaan National High School, Hilabaan Elementary School, Botnga Elementary School, and Caybane Primary School.
