Mallig at its best!

A region in the Western part of the Province of Isabela, Mallig town was derived from the rolling terrains or kilometers of plain lands where the town was located. It was created by virtue of RA.No. 678 authored by the late Congressman Samuel F. Reyes. The act was approved on April 08,1952 and inaugurated on April 04,1953 with the former barrio Olango as the seat of governemnt. Years passed and Mallig now have 33,248 residents.

In my 10 years of stay in Mallig, I discover a lot of things about our humble town, our pride. Located in the Western part of Isabela, Mallig was known because of its “Nateng Festival” celebrated during hte first Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the month April as a thanksgiving to the bountiful and fruitful harvest of different vegetables including rice and corn. In collaboration with the town’s festival, the Local Government Unit requires the Malliguenos to have their own g”gulayan” at home, in schools and even in the barangay Comumunity Center. As a recognition, the LGU gives rewards to the selected individuals with the best gulayan such as fertilizer, seedlings and planting materials/tools. Mallig promotes healthy living as a part of the festival, Malliguenos also participate in deifferent festive activities such as Padyak (bycicle race), Zumba, Fun Run, Cooking Contest, Street Dance Competition, Drum and Lyre Core Presentation, Mallig Got Talent and the Search for Ms. Nateng Festical.

There is a continous development in Mallig with the help of the Municipal Mayor Engr. Jose P. Calderon with a battle cry “Serbisyog Totoo,Tunay na Pagbabago”.With the help of all Malliguenos, Mallig now have concrete Farm to market roads, New Public Market, Rescue Equipments, Buildings for Offices, Gymnasium, Installed CCTV and Street Lights, Health Care Facilities, Barangay vehicles and a peaceful community. Mallig undergoes continues development but still aims to give the Malliguenos a good life. All rthese will be possible because Malliguenos are known to be hardworking and Mallig is the perfect place to live in where you can find peace and happy faces.
