Overview
Dimasalang is a municipality in Masbate Province in the Philippines. The subject identified by the supplied canonical Wikipedia path is a local government jurisdiction rather than a commercial consumer brand, company, product line, or trademark. It is therefore best understood as a place-name and public administrative entity, and the requested brand fields such as products, campaigns, executives, ownership, ticker, and commercial positioning are largely not applicable. The municipality is situated in Masbate and lies approximately 46 kilometres from Masbate City. Its local territory is divided into 20 barangays, the basic administrative units used in the Philippines. Barangays are further organized into puroks, and some include smaller sitios. The municipality's administrative and community functions include local governance, public services, education oversight, infrastructure, and support for local economic activity. A notable administrative change recorded in the municipality's history occurred in 1951, when the barrios of Palanas, Nipa, Nabangig, Banco, Pina, Maanahao, Salvacion, Antipolo, Malatawan, Intusan, Miabas, San Antonio, Libtong, Malibas, Santa Cruz, Bontod, and Cabil-isan were separated from Dimasalang to form the town of Palanas. This change reduced and reshaped the municipality's territory while establishing a separate local government unit. Education in Dimasalang is coordinated through the Dimasalang Schools District Office, which oversees public and private educational institutions from the primary through secondary levels. Schools identified in reference material include Buracan National High School, Dimasalang National High School, Masbate Sports Academy, and Orlando B. Tepait High School. The 2024 Philippine census recorded a population of 25,054 residents for Dimasalang. The corresponding population density was reported as approximately 170 inhabitants per square kilometre, or 440 inhabitants per square mile. The municipality's economy and living conditions are monitored through Philippine statistical and local-government systems, including published poverty-incidence data. No reliable evidence in the supplied sources identifies Dimasalang as a commercial brand, a corporation, a listed entity, or a private organization. Its active status refers to its continuing existence as a municipality.
