'''Tingloy''', officially the '''Municipality of Tingloy''' ({{langx|tl|Bayan ng Tingloy}}), is a municipality in the province of Batangas, Philippines. According to the {{PH wikidata|population_as_of}}, it has a population of {{PH wikidata|population_total}} people, making it the least populated municipality in the province.{{PH wikidata|population_reference}}
==Etymology== The name "Tingloy" was, according to legend, derived from a plant of almost the same name, "tinghoy", which is largely found in abundance on the island up to now.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tingloy |url=https://amazingbatangas.com/municipality/tingloy-batangas/ |access-date=October 6, 2025 |website=Amazing Batangas}}</ref>
==History== The first people to inhabit the island almost a century ago{{when|date=December 2016}} came from Taal and Bauan, presumably to escape the brutalities perpetrated by the Spanish "conquistadors". They came in family groups and finding the place a haven, settled down in definite areas later forming the various barrios now comprising the created political subdivision. It is said that the former barrio of Tingloy was founded by Jose Martinez, a Taaleño.<ref name="tingloy-town">{{citation |title = TINGLOY TOWN |date = 1979-10-18 |work = TINGLOY TOWN FIESTA SOUVENIR PROGRAM }}</ref>{{verify source|date=December 2016}}
At several times the island was placed under the jurisdiction of different towns. The island was originally part of the town of San Luis. In 1917, it was placed under the jurisdiction of Bauan, only to be separated from it a year later when the municipality of Mabini was formed. In 1921, it was again placed under the jurisdiction of Bauan.
During the Spanish regime, people were educated at home learning to read the "Cartillas" and the "Caton" "Christiana". During American occupation schools were established. Ireneo Martinez together with Flaviano Gamben, initiated a movement for a model schoolhouse for the former barrio of Tingloy. This movement became a success when a model schoolhouse was constructed in the present poblacion of the Municipality of Tingloy sometime in 1921.<ref name="tingloy-town"/>
During the second regular session of the 3rd Congress of the Philippines, the barrios of Tingloy, Maricaban, Papaya, Pisa, Gamao, and Talahib were separated from Bauan and constituted into the newly created municipality of Tingloy.<ref name="ChanRobles-RA1344">{{cite web|title=Republic Act No. 1344 - An Act to Create the Municipality of Tingloy in the Province of Batangas|url=http://laws.chanrobles.com/republicacts/14_republicacts.php?id=1346|website=Chan Robles Virtual Law Library|access-date=11 December 2016|date=17 June 1955}}</ref> President Ramon Magsaysay, on June 17, 1955, appointed the first municipal officials headed by Ramon De Claro as mayor.
