✨ CELEBRATING HISTORY, HERITAGE, AND IDENTITY ✨

The Local Government Unit of Madalag, through the Office of the Municipal Mayor – Tourism Unit, proudly joins the “Maragtas it Akean: National History Month Celebration Exhibit” organized by the Aklan Tourism Officers Association, Inc. (AkTOA) this August.

Aligned with Proclamation No. 339 (s. 2012), this exhibit honors Aklan’s rich history, vibrant culture, enduring traditions, and invaluable heritage. It features historical artifacts, cultural displays, photographs, local crafts, and stories that reflect the unique identity and legacy of the Aklanon people — including the proud history and roots of our very own Madalag.

This initiative aims to deepen public appreciation of our shared history, promote the preservation of our cultural treasures, and strengthen local tourism through heritage education. Through this collaboration, we reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding our province’s historical and cultural legacy, inspiring present and future generations to cherish and protect the stories that shaped us.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Hon. Orlando I. Inosanto Jr. and the Municipal Tourism, Culture and Arts Council for their unwavering leadership and support; Hon. Vern T. Gubatina for his invaluable assistance; Ma’am Mary Portia Palabrica for her meaningful ideas and suggestions; the Tourism Unit staff for their dedication in facilitating this activity; Ma’am Celsa Nagtalon Gonzales, who generously lent the painting and ensured its safekeeping; Mr. Cawaling, the talented artist who created this artwork; Former Mayor Hon. Marietta Martelino Diapo Gonzales, the owner of the painting; and Former Mayor Atty. Emilio C. Nabor, whose work History of Madalag preserves the stories we hold dear.

📢 The exhibit runs until August 31, 2026 at Haboean Weaving Studio and Cafe. Come and discover the rich heritage of Aklan and Madalag!

Let us celebrate where we came from, as we build a brighter future together. 💚

In celebration of the 78th Madalag Day, let us all learn the origin of our 25 barangays.

Each story carries the voice of our ancestors, the wisdom of the past, and the unique spirit that shapes every corner of our town. From the banks of our rivers to the peaks of our mountains, every name holds a legend, a struggle, and a dream that has been passed down through generations.

As we honor our history, we also honor the identity of every Madalagnon — for these stories are not just tales of old, but the very soul of our beloved municipality. May this journey through our roots deepen our love for our home, strengthen our unity, and inspire us to nurture and protect the heritage that makes Madalag truly one of a kind.

78 YEARS OF PRIDE, GRATITUDE, AND UNITY💚

Celebrating the 78th Madalag Day | July 30, 2026

The Heart of Our Celebration
Madalag Day marks the moment our beloved home became an independent municipality under Republic Act No. 297 of 1948 — the day our ancestors’ hopes, struggles, and long‑cherished dreams finally took root as a free and self‑governing town. It is more than just an anniversary; it is our way of honoring every step we have walked together: from humble beginnings to the progress we see today, built by the hands, hearts, and sacrifices of generations of Madalagnons who came before us.

Today, our hearts are full as we give thanks for 78 years of blessings, resilience, and enduring community spirit. We celebrate our history, cherish our unique culture, and hold close the bond that makes us one family — not just neighbors. We honor the vision of our founders and the dedication of every Madalagnon who continues to nurture this land we love.

May this celebration fill us with renewed pride and hope, as we walk hand in hand toward an even brighter future for AMAZING MADALAG.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all attendees, led by Hon. Orlando I. Inosanto Jr., Acting Municipal Mayor. Our Thanksgiving Holy Mass was beautifully facilitated by Rev. Fr. Josue Ruiz Escalona Jr., and graced by the support and presence of Sangguniang Bayan Members, LGU Department Heads, LGU employees, School Heads of the District of Madalag, and representatives from National and other partner agencies.

Happy 78th Founding Anniversary, Madalag! ✨
