History
Mandaon was originally a barrio of Milagros, established by Barrio Lieutenant Feliciano Aquillo Sr. In 1948, Juan Valencia, a settler from Pampanga, advocated for its elevation into a municipality. On July 18, 1949, President Elpidio Quirino, through Executive Order No. 244, officially recognized Mandaon as an independent municipality, distinct from Milagros.
