History

[edit]

The name "Dilasag" is divided into two syllables. The prefixDiin the native language[which?]means "abundance", added to the wordlasagwhich 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 ofIlocanosettlers with a number ofKapampangansandPangasinensesfromTarlacarrived inCasiguran,which was then part ofNueva 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 ofQuezon.It was declared asitioof barangay Culat and eventually abarrioof Casiguran in consideration of its rapid progress and development. In 1959, Quezon1st DistrictRepresentative Manuel Enverga introducedHouse Bill No. 2863in theHouse of Representatives,resulting in the approval ofRepublic Act No. 2452on 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 ofAurorauntil the latter became a province of its own in 1979.
