Sual, officially the Municipality of Sual (Pangasinan: Baley na Sual; Iloko: Ili ti Sual; Tagalog: Bayan ng Sual), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 39,091 people.
The Philippines largest coal power plant, the 1200 megawatt Sual Power Station, is located in this municipality. It used to be owned by Mirant Services LLC.
Sual is one of the towns where the Spanish galleon brought their goods to trade.
Sual is from Lingayen and from Manila.
Sual used to be a part of a town called San Isidro Labrador de Tobuang (now called Labrador). However, Sual would separate from this town when an issue was decreed by the Spanish Governor General Rafael Maria de Aguilar. In May 2019, Liseldo D.Q. Calugay, after a landslide victory, end the 15-year reign of the Arcinue clan. Naval Base Lingayen built a PT boat base at Sual in 1945.
On January, 2008, Bolinao Mayor Alfonso Celeste said the local government will file damage suit against Indonesian owners of the barge APOL 3003. The University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UPMSI) stated that the environmental damage was PHP54.9 million. The barge towed by a tug boat from Indonesia to the power plant in Sual on November 27 when Typhoon Mina destroyed its anchor and rope, then hurled it to Ilog Malino reef, spilling 95% of its coal cargo. The hard coal spill spread to of coral and sea grass areas.[1]
Sual is politically subdivided into 19 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
See main article: Sangguniang Bayan. Sual, belonging to the first 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.
