History
In 1607, Morong was officially founded as an ecclesiastical parish by the Augustinian Recollects who placed the town under the protection of the Our Lady of the Pillar. Its founding priest was Fr. Rodrigo de San Miguel.
On June 10, 1955, with the understanding of the Spanish language waning in most of the Philippines and with Moron having an unfortunate meaning in English, the town was renamed Morong by virtue of Republic Act No. 1249.
