Don Marcelino, officially the Municipality of Don Marcelino (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Don Marcelino; Filipino: Bayan ng Don Marcelino), is a municipality in the province of Davao Occidental, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 45,540 people. [5]
Don Marcelino is named in honor of Marcelino Maruya, who served as the first municipal mayor of the mother municipality of Malita, appointed by President Manuel L. Quezon in 1936. The name incorporates the honorific title Don .
Don Marcelino was created as a municipality of Davao del Sur through Batas Pambansa Bilang 47 on December 19, 1979, having been carved out from the municipality of Malita. It originally consisted of six barangays: Calian, Kiobog, Lamidan, Lawa, Nueva Villa, and Talagutong. [6]
On October 28, 2013, the municipality was ceded to Davao Occidental as a result of a plebiscite, in which the majority of voters approved the creation of the new province. [7]
The municipality was struck by earthquakes in 2017. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Television personality Franco Hernandez died at a drowning incident in Barangay North Lamidan on November 11, 2017. [13]
