Ibalon

Historical Site

Archaeological site in Magallanes, Philippines

Ibalon, or Ibalong, is the ancient name of the Bicol Region in the Philippines. The center of settlement is believed to be either beside the Bicol River at present-day Libmanan, Camarines Sur or in Magallanes, Sorsogon, Philippines, renowned as one of the first Spanish settlements in the island of Luzon. At some point, the name Ibalong was also used by the Spanish to refer to the entire Bicol Peninsula and, to some extent the entire island of Luzon.
