Manaoag, officially the Municipality of Manaoag (in Tagalog pronounced as /mɐˈnaʊag/; Pangasinan: Baley na Manaoag; Iloko: Ili ti Manaoag; Tagalog: Bayan ng Manaoag), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 76,045 people.
Manaoag came from the Pangasinan word "Mantaoag" which means "to call".
Manaoag as a settlement was used to be part of present-day San Jacinto in the early 1600s. Later, the Augustinians established a mission as Mission of Sta. Monica, while Dominicans also served the area.[1]
In 1972, Republic Act No. 6485 was issued wherein twenty barrios were organized as a separate municipality and the province's newest, named Laoac; however, it took long before the establishment was formalized in 1980.[2] [3]
Manaoag is bordered by Pozorrubio in the north, Urdaneta City and Mapandan in the south, Laoac in the east, and San Jacinto in the west.
Manaoag is from Lingayen and from Manila.
Manaoag is politically subdivided into 26 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
See main article: Sangguniang Bayan. Manaoag, belonging to the fourth congressional district of the province of Pangasinan, is governed by a mayor designated as its local chief executive and by a municipal council as its legislative body in accordance with the Local Government Code. The mayor, vice mayor, and the councilors are elected directly by the people through an election which is being held every three years.

See main article: Our Lady of Manaoag. The town is a popular local pilgrimage site as it enshrines a 17th-century ivory statue of St Mary under the title of Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Manaoag ("Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag"). Legend has it that an unnamed man had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who told him to have the shrine built. Famous souvenirs include candles, rosaries, and ampullae of blessed oil with flowers (which supposedly has healing properties), as well as less religious ones such as bagoóng monamon and tupig.
