Calasiao
Geographical Address
Calasiao, officially the Municipality of Calasiao, (Pangasinan: Baley na Calasiao; Ilokano: Ili ti Calasiao; Tagalog: Bayan ng Calasiao), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 95,154 people.[3]
The name Calasiao was derived from the native word Kalasian, which means "a place where lightning frequently occurs", from the root word lasi, meaning "lightning". Upon the arrival of the Spaniards, they called the place "Lugar de Rayos", a literal Spanish translation of the word Kalasian.
It was named as such because it is said that Calasiao back in the day was always frequented by this natural phenomenon. Today, Calasiao is known as a First Class Municipality and is located at the very heart of Pangasinan. It governs 24 barangays and 31 sitios in a total land area of 4,836 hectares.[6] Calasiao's flagship product is the native rice cake known as Puto Calasiao.
