Poverty, 2021Poverty incidenceHow many of every 100 people live in families whose income is below the poverty line: what a person needs in a year for food and other basic needs, as the PSA sets it for each province. It is an estimate, from a survey or, for a town, a statistical model, so the PSA gives a range it is likely to fall in.More in the glossary

History & Identity

Created
Executive Order No. 61, issued at Manila on 28 December 1920, separated the area of the one-time municipality of Loculan from Misamis and organized it into two independent municipalities, Clarin and Tudela. Clarin's seat of government was set in the barrio of Loculan, and the change took effect on the first day of 1921.[9]

How it got its name

The town's own history page says the place was named Clarin in honour of Senator Jose Clarin, who helped Loculan become a municipality again.[10]

Local traditionAccording to the same page, the Spaniards first called the settlement Suba Lalabago and renamed it Barangay de Loculan after the last datu fell in love with a Spanish sergeant.[10]

Its story

The town's own history page says the Subanos were the first people here and that the Spaniards came upon the settlement in 1779, calling it Suba Lalabago.[10]

The same page says Loculan was raised to a pueblo in 1840 under Governadorcillo Villafranca.[10]

In 1903 Act No. 951 cut the twenty-four municipalities of Misamis province to ten, and Loculan was folded into the municipality of Misamis.[11]

Executive Order No. 61 of 1920 organized the old Loculan area into two towns at once, Clarin and Tudela.[9]

In 1982 Barangay Bagong Clarin was taken out of Clarin to help form the new municipality of Don Mariano Marcos.[12]

  3. 22 October 1903

  4. 1921

    Sources differThe town's history page dates the return of Loculan as a municipality to February 1921, while Executive Order No. 61 set the change to take effect on the first day of 1921.[9, 10]

  5. 8 February 1982
