Tiaong ([ˈtjaʔɔŋ]), officially the Municipality of Tiaong (Tagalog: Bayan ng Tiaong), is a municipality in the province of Quezon, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 106,265 people.^[3]

Tiaong is 35 kilometers (22 mi) from Lucena and 95 kilometers (59 mi) from Manila.

Etymology

According to local legends, Tiaong derived its name from the portmanteau of two words:

Tiya (tia), Tagalog for aunt in reference to Doña Tating, a well-loved woman in the area; and
Ong (oong) from the sound of her bull that signalled her nearby presence.^[4]

History

Historically, Dolores was once consolidated with the municipality of Tiaong by virtue of Act No. 402 dated May 17, 1902.^[5]

On June 21, 1957, barrios Matipunso, Behia, and Bucal were established out of barrios Niing, Callejon, and Buha, respectively.^[6]^[7]^[8] On October 4, 1957, barrios Buliran, Callejon, Niing, and Pury were excised from Tiaong to form the new municipality of San Antonio.^[9]
