San Joaquin, Municipal district in Iloilo Province, Philippines
The municipality sits at the southern end of Iloilo Province, with 85 barangays spread across 23,527 hectares of rolling terrain and coastal areas.
The region traces its origins to the 12th century when ten Malayan chieftains led by Datu Puti arrived at Andona near the Siwaragan River mouth.
The San Joaquin Roman Catholic Church, built between 1859 and 1869, features a pediment depicting Spanish military victories and holds National Cultural Treasure status.
The municipality maintains eleven high schools, including Don Felix Serra National High School and San Joaquin School of Fisheries in the Poblacion district.
The annual Pasungay festival in January presents traditional bull fighting events that connect to the region's agricultural heritage and community practices.
