The AIM of this Page is to build a community to the people of Mallig... We are inviting our brothers and sisters to join this page and share your thoughts or updates about our hometown. It was created by virtue of RA 678 authored by the late congressman Samuel F. The act was approved on Aapril 8, 1953 with the former barrio Olango as the seat of government. As separate municipality, the territoria
l domain of Mallig included in the north, barrios of Tumauini in the mid-section, barrios of Ilagan; and in the south, barrios of Gamu - all in the province of Isabela. In 1929, the late President Manuel L. Quezon declared the westernmost part of the province as a resettlement area, historically known as the Mallig Plains Resettlement Area. From then on, the influx of settlers from the Central Plains and the Ilocos Region encouraged more other settlers to migrate westward in these Kalinga-dominated plains.. Mallig was never a ready haven and abode for the migrants at the beginning, particularly because of the hostile and repulsive culture of the natives that formerly dominated the are, and also because of the occurrence of endemic malaria. It took the settlers gradual adaptation and acclimatization before they finally convinced their relatives and other migrants to settle permanently.
