Candelaria, Municipality in Quezon, Philippines
The municipality of Candelaria extends across the western region of Quezon Province, featuring the Masin and Quiapo rivers that frame its central district.
Local leaders successfully petitioned Governor-General Domingo Moriones y Murillo to establish Candelaria as an independent town on August 5, 1879.
The February 5 Candle Festival honors San Pedro Bautista with street performances and decorated floats representing each of the 25 barangays.
The municipality maintains three hospitals and multiple health centers across its barangays, providing medical services to its population of 137,881 residents.
The local economy centers around desiccated coconut production, with numerous factories and oil refineries employing thousands of workers in the area.
