Dinalupihan, officially the Municipality of Dinalupihan (Tagalog: Bayan ng Dinalupihan; Kapampangan: Balen ning Dinalupihan), is a municipality in the province of Bataan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 118,209 people.[3]

Etymology

"Dinalupijan" came from the festival rites of the Aetas commemorating the deity "Indianalo", the goddess of hunting and bountiful harvest. "Indianalo" was paired with the Sanskrit word "jann", meaning paradise. "Indianalopijann" was the name given to the land that the Aetas received from their goddess which translates to Indianalo's paradise.[5] As time passed, the name "Indianalopijann" turned into "Dinalupihan".

The name "Dinalupihan" also means "empty lands", coming from the Spanish terms din, a, and lupia. It referred to the fact that it failed to produce little revenue while it was an estate of the Archdiocese of Manila during the second half of the 18th century.[6]

Geography

Dinalupihan borders Hermosa to the south and southeast, the province of Zambales to the northwest with the highly urbanized city of Olongapo, and the province of Pampanga to the north and northeast. Floridablanca, Pampanga, is located directly to the north, and San Fernando, Pampanga, its regional center is located to the north-northeast.

Dinalupihan, the only landlocked town in the province, is accessible via SCTEX (Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway) and the Bataan Provincial Expressway, off Exit 5. It is 23 kilometres (14 mi) from Balanga and 101 kilometres (63 mi) from Manila.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 92.52 square kilometres (35.72 sq mi) [7] constituting 6.74% of the 1,372.98-square-kilometre- (530.11 sq mi) total area of Bataan.
