History
Once an arrabal of the town of Banga to the east, Malinao's town leaders in the mid 1700s were able to submit a petition of separation direct to Manila that was approved. In addition, Malinao rose to prominence in Philippine history during the struggle against colonial rule under Spain at the end of the 19th century. One of its sons, Candido Iban, was a member of the inner circle of the original Katipuneros directly under Andres Bonifacio.
