Under the administration of erstwhile President Ferdinand E. Marcos, thee was a surge in the creation of new barangays. Thus, the Municipal Government of Anao in 1967 passed an ordinance creation nine (9) new barangays that includes Barangay Sinense.

Barangay Sinense was formerly a sitio of Barangay Casili which was one of the nine (9) existing barangays of Anao during the siad era. It was earlier known as Sitio Villana. Sitio Villana officially became barangay in August 1968.

Barangay Sinense assumed its name ater Mr. raymundo Sinense, past Municipal President of Anao who served rom 1916 to 1918. Back then, the local chief executive of the municipaliy was called by such title as a result of the alterations made by the Americans in the nomenclature of he head of the municipality.

In 1969, Mr. Jose  D. Labagnoy became the first duly elected barrio lieutenant and went on to become one of the most enduring barangay officials, ahving served the municipality for our decades. He was later elected President of the Association of Barangay Councils and consequently became an ex-officio member of the Municipal Council of Anao under the administration of Mayor Clemente T. Apuan.

Although considered one of the far-flung barangays of the town, it has since become one of the barangays to reckon with. It has garnered a significant number of accolades and recognitions, winning awards in various municipal-and provincial-wide clean and green compeitions and in other areas as well*.

Barangay Sinense has recently been adjudged as Child-Friendly Barangay in the provincial and regional level thru the able leadership of Barangay Capain Florencio Carreon.
