Candelaria, Municipality in Quezon, Philippines

Candelaria is a municipality in the western part of Quezon Province, bordered by the Masin and Quiapo rivers. The town spans across 25 barangays with mixed agricultural and industrial areas.

The town was established in 1879 through a petition by local leaders to the Governor-General. This step gave the settlement its independent status as a separate municipality.

The February festival celebrates San Pedro Bautista with street performances and decorated floats from all 25 barangays. This annual event shows how the community honors its religious traditions together.

The municipality has three hospitals and several health centers across its barangays. These facilities are spread throughout the area to serve the local population.

The local economy centers on coconut processing, with numerous factories and oil refineries operating in the area. This industry shapes the daily work life for many residents.
