Mallig is a 4th class municipality in the province of Isabela, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 32,208 people.[3]

History

The municipality of Mallig was named after the Mallig river that traverses it. It was created by virtue of RA 678 authored by congressman Samuel F. Reyes. The act was approved on April 8, 1953 with the former barrio Olango as the seat of government. As separate municipality, the territorial domain of Mallig included in the north, barrios of Tumauini in the midsection, barrios of Ilagan; and in the south, barrios of Gamu - all in the province of Isabela.

In 1939, then President Manuel L. Quezon declared the westernmost part of the province as a resettlement area, historically known as the Mallig Plains Resettlement Area. From then on, the influx of settlers from the Central Plains and the Ilocos Region encouraged more other settlers to migrate westward in these Kalinga-dominated plains.

Mallig was never a ready haven and abode for the migrants at the beginning, particularly because of the hostile and repulsive culture of the natives that formerly dominated the are, and also because of the occurrence of endemic malaria. It took the settlers gradual adaptation and acclimatization before they finally convinced their relatives and other migrants to settle permanently.[6]

Mallig was formed into a town in 1952. The territory comprising Mallig was taken from different neighboring towns:

  • from Roxas: barrios of Holy Friday, San Jose (East), and San Jose (West)
  • from Ilagan City: barrios of Casili, Olango Primero, Olango Segundo, San Jose Nuevo, and Manano
  • from Tumauini: barrios of Barucbuc, Siempre Viva, Bimmonton, Pasurgong, Manga, and Settlement No. 1
  • from Sto. Tomas: barrios of Abut and Minagbag[7]

Geography

Mallig is bounded by the towns of Paracelis, Mt. Province on its western limits, Quezon, Isabela on its northern limits, Roxas, Isabela on its southern limits and by both Delfin Albano and Quirino, Isabela on its eastern limits.

It is also an agricultural town mainly composed of agricultural farms such as rice fields and corn fields which makes its rural landscape.
