Morong, Bataan
Morong, officially the Municipality of Morong (Tagalog: Bayan ng Morong), is a municipality in the province of Bataan, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 37,024 people.
In 1607, Morong was officially founded as an ecclesiastical parish by the Augustinian Recollects who placed the town under the protection of the Our Lady of the Pillar. Its founding priest was Fr. Rodrigo de San Miguel.
On June 10, 1955, with the understanding of the Spanish language waning in most of the Philippines and with Moron having an unfortunate meaning in English, the town was renamed Morong by virtue of Republic Act No. 1249.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 219.20 square kilometres (84.63 sq mi) constituting 15.97% of the 1,372.98-square-kilometre- (530.11 sq mi) total area of Bataan.
The municipality is home to Subic Bay International Airport, Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ; along with Hermosa also in the province of Bataan, and Olongapo and Subic in Zambales), the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, and the former Philippine Refugee Processing Center. Morong was formerly known as Moron. It is accessible via the Bataan Provincial Expressway, off Exit 65.
Morong is bounded by Dinalupihan to the northeast, Hermosa and Orani to the east, and province of the Zambales to the north. Olongapo City is located directly north of Morong, accessible via SBMA–Olongapo Access Road through Rizal Highway to Aguinado Road or Security Road to East 14th Street. It is 51 kilometres (32 mi) from Balanga and 175 kilometres (109 mi) from Manila.
The Pawikan Conservation Center is a community-based effort to protect turtles in Morong with a focus on protecting the Olive Ridley species.
Morong has a tropical monsoon climate (Af) with little to no rainfall from December to April and heavy to extremely heavy rainfall from May to November.
