**Mallig**, officially the **Municipality of Mallig** ([Ilocano](/source/Ilocano_language): *Ili ti Mallig*; [Tagalog](/source/Tagalog_language): *Bayan ng Mallig*), is a landlocked [municipality](/source/Municipality_of_the_Philippines) in the [province](/source/Philippine_Province) of [Isabela](/source/Isabela_(province)), [Philippines](/source/Philippines). According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 32,509 people.[5]

## Etymology

The municipality was named after the Mallig River that runs through it.

## History

The area was first mentioned by Fray Pedro de Santo Tomas as the area to which the [Irraya/Gaddang](/source/Gaddang_People) fled after the revolt of Dayag and Catabay in 1621 in what is now [Ilagan City](/source/Ilagan%2C_Isabela).

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

Mallig was created by virtue of Republic Act No. 678 authored in 1952 by then-Congressman Samuel F. Reyes. The act was approved on April 8, 1952, with the former barrio of Olango as the seat of government. The territory comprising Mallig was taken from several neighboring towns:

- from [Roxas](/source/Roxas%2C_Isabela): barangay of Holy Friday, San Jose (East), and San Jose (West)

- from [Ilagan](/source/Ilagan): barangay of Casili, Olango Primero, Olango Segundo, San Jose Nuevo, and Manano

- from [Tumauini](/source/Tumauini%2C_Isabela): barangay of Barucbuc, [Siempre Viva Norte](/source/Siempre_Viva_Norte), Siempre Viva Sur Bimmonton, Pasurgong, Manga, and Settlement No. 1

- from [Santo Tomas](/source/Santo_Tomas%2C_Isabela): barangay of Abut and Minagbag[6]

ON June 21, 1959, the barrios and sitios of Abut, Barucboc Norte, Cauayan, Estrada, Lepanto, Malalao, Manga, Maragato, Minagbag, Pasurgong, PODCO, Settlement No. I, and Turod were separated from Mallig to form the new municipality of [Quezon](/source/Quezon%2C_Isabela), by virtue of Republic Act No. 2418.[7]

Mallig was a harsh abode for the migrants at the beginning, particularly because of the hostile natives who dominated the area, and also because of the occurrence of endemic [malaria](/source/Malaria). It took the settlers gradual adaptation and acclimatization before they finally convinced their relatives and other migrants to settle permanently.[8]

## Geography

Mallig is bounded by the towns of [Paracelis](/source/Paracelis) on its western limits, [Quezon](/source/Quezon%2C_Isabela) on its northern limits, [Roxas](/source/Roxas%2C_Isabela) on its southern limits and by both [Delfin Albano](/source/Delfin_Albano) and [Quirino](/source/Quirino%2C_Isabela) on its eastern limits. The municipality has a land area of 133.40 square kilometers or 51.51 square miles which constitutes 1.07% of Isabela's total area.

Its main gateway is the [Santiago–Tuguegarao Road](/source/Santiago%E2%80%93Tuguegarao_Road) which is a part of the national highway. The [Ilagan–Delfin Albano–Mallig Road](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ilagan%E2%80%93Delfin_Albano%E2%80%93Mallig_Road&action=edit&redlink=1), a provincial road, also serves as an important point of entry to Mallig. It is also an agricultural town mainly composed of agricultural farms such as rice fields and corn fields which makes its rural landscape.

Mallig is situated 37.33 kilometres (23.20 mi) from the provincial capital [Ilagan](/source/Ilagan), and 425.19 kilometres (264.20 mi) from the country's capital city of [Manila](/source/Manila).
