The village is known for its rich cultural heritage and its strategic location along the coast, which has historically made it an important trading hub.

The name "Tuleh" is believed to have originated from the Tagalog word "tulay," which means bridge, reflecting the village's historical significance as a crossing point for travelers and traders. The village is home to a diverse population, with a mix of indigenous and migrant communities. The local economy is primarily driven by fishing, agriculture, and small-scale trade.
