Baler, Coastal municipality in Aurora Province, Philippines
Located at an elevation of 118 meters, Baler extends across 92 square kilometers of varied terrain with 13 administrative districts near the Pacific Ocean.
The Spanish missionaries under Fray Blas Palomino established Baler as a settlement in 1609, initiating a transformation from indigenous territory to colonial administration.
The annual Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day on June 30 commemorates the Siege of Baler through ceremonies, performances, and gatherings of local residents.
The municipality contains multiple educational facilities, including Aurora State College of Technology, serving over 43,000 residents across different academic levels.
A massive tidal wave in 1735 destroyed the original settlement of Kinagunasan, forcing survivors to establish the current location of Baler.
