History & Identity

Created
Macalelon was re-established as its own municipality by Executive Order No. 84 of 20 December 1911, after Act No. 956 had joined it to Pitogo in 1903. The order separated it from Pitogo from 1 January 1912.[9, 10]

Its story

A Spanish geography printed in 1876 gives 1783 as the year Macalelon, in Tayabas, was created.[11]

In 1903 Act No. 956 joined Macalelon to Pitogo, and in 1910 Pitogo's seat of government moved to the old town centre of Macalelon.[10, 12]

An executive order of 1911 made Macalelon an independent municipality again, from the start of 1912.[9]

In 1929 a group of its barrios was separated to form General Luna, which the General Luna town website says was once a sitio of Macalelon known as Hingoso.[13, 14]
