Dilasag [ˌdilɐˈsag], officially the Municipality of Dilasag (Tagalog/Kasiguranin: Bayan ng Dilasag; Ilocano: Ili ti Dilasag), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Aurora, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 17,102 people.[4]

History

[edit]

The name "Dilasag" is divided into two syllables. The prefix Di in the native language[which?] means "abundance", added to the word lasag which means "meat". The coined word "Dilasag", however, does not only mean abundance of meat in the place, but also refers to the over sufficient supply of forest products, marine products and minerals.

In early 1924, a group of Ilocano settlers with a number of Kapampangans and Pangasinenses from Tarlac arrived in Casiguran, which was then part of Nueva Vizcaya.[6] Finding the natives unfriendly to them, the settlers moved along the coastline going north and settled finally to what is now called Dilasag. The place was considered habitable, because the native Dumagats in the place were friendly. Later, more families came, establishing a community. This community was soon recognized by the mayor of Casiguran, by then a municipality of Quezon. It was declared a sitio of barangay Culat and eventually a barrio of Casiguran in consideration of its rapid progress and development. In 1959, Quezon 1st District Representative Manuel Enverga introduced House Bill No. 2863 in the House of Representatives, resulting in the approval of Republic Act No. 2452 on June 21, 1959, making Dilasag a municipal district and separating it from Casiguran.[7] It was then part of the province of Quezon under the sub-province of Aurora until the latter became a province of its own in 1979.
