Agoncillo, officially the Municipality of Agoncillo (Tagalog: Bayan ng Agoncillo), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Batangas, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 39,101 people.
The town got its name after Felipe Agoncillo, a native of Taal, Batangas.
Agoncillo was originally a part of Lemery. In 1945, an executive committee was formed by the first appointed Mayor Jacinto Mendoza Sr. to prepare a resolution, requesting the Secretary of the Interior, Malacañang Palace, through the provincial board to detach and separate 11 barrios and be created a municipality.
Through Executive Order 140 issued by President Elpidio Quirino, the Municipality of Pansipit was created.[2] But the Municipal Council of Lemery passed a resolution requesting for the revocation and suspension of the said creation. Thus, another executive order was endorsed for the conduct of a plebiscite to ascertain the true sentiments of the residents regarding the issue of separation.[3]
Finally, on April 17, 1949, Executive Order No. 212 was issued by President Quirino, lifting the suspension and thereby, authorizing the immediate organization of the Municipality under the name of Agoncillo,[4] in honor of Don Felipe Agoncillo, a native of Taal and one of the first Filipino representatives to the Spanish Cortes.
Agoncillo is located south of Manila, a two-hour drive via the scenic route of Tagaytay Ridge and Diokno Highway. It is away from Batangas City, the provincial capital. It is bounded in the east by approximately lakeshore of Taal Lake, south by San Nicolas and Taal, north by Laurel, and is separated by the Pansipit River on the west by Lemery.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 49.96km2 constituting of the 3119.75km2 total area of Batangas.
Agoncillo is politically subdivided into 21 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
In the 2020 census, Agoncillo had a population of 39,101. The population density was NaN39,101/49.96.
