  • Malasiqui is a 1st class municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the latest census, it has a population of 122,820 people in 20,798 households. It is mainly an agricultural municipality with rice, corn and tropical lowland vegetables as main crops. It is also famous for its mango fruits having one of the largest concentration of mango tree population in the Philippines. The word Malasiqui originates from the Pangasinan root word "lasi" meaning lightning. With prefix "ma' indicating high degree and suffix "qui" indicating place - Malasiqui means "place full of lightning". The municipality traces its origins during the middle of 17th century when Spanish friars opened a mission intended to convert the native population to Catholicism. There were no organized communities in the area before the Spaniards arrived. The present site was then heavily forested with small family groups scattered along banks of small rivers and creeks. The socio-political history of the municipality parallels that of the Pangasinan province and the country in general. Its history is punctuated by periods of foreign domination first by the Spanish, then by the United States and Philippine Commonwealth forces during the first half of the 20th century and briefly by the Japanese during the 2nd World War. The population participated heavily in some of bloodiest rebellions during the Spanish period. Catholicism and other Christian sects dominate the religious life of the people. Ethnically, it is one of the few places in the province of Pangasinan which did not experience in-migration from other regions. Consequently, Pangasinanse is the dominant ethnic group with almost no other groups mixing into the locality. The poblacion or town center, is recently experiencing high commercial growth spurred mainly by high consumer spending generated by increase in family incomes attributable to earnings of OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers). The estimate of OFW population as a percentage of adult labor force is as much as 22% - one of the highest rates in the Philippines. The OFW phenomenon is so significant that almost all households have at least one member working outside of the country.

Con il prefisso ma- che indica un livello alto e il suffisso -ki che indica un posto; malasiki significa dunque "posto pieno di lampi". La popolazione di Malasiqui partecipò ad alcune delle rivolte più sanguinose durante l'epoca della dominazione spagnola. Il cattolicesimo e altre sette cristiane prevalgono nettamente tra le confessione religiose del luogo. Etnicamente, è uno dei pochi luoghi di Pangasinan che non ha avuto mai immigrazione delle altre regioni filippine.
