Midsalip, officially the Municipality of Midsalip (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Midsalip; Subanen: Benwa Midsalip; Chavacano: Municipalidad de Midsalip; Tagalog: Bayan ng Midsalip), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 33,711 people. ^[3]

Etymology

The town's name is from a Subanen word,"Migsalip" which means "to collect" or "accumulate".

History

Midsalip was formed as a municipality out of 21 barrios of the Municipality of Ramon Magsaysay and 6 barrios of the municipality of Dumingag on September 9, 1964, by virtue of Executive Order Number 94 signed by President Diosdado Macapagal.^[4] This did not last long, however, as it was dissolved on February 26, 1966, due to a Supreme Court decision regarding the legality of the funds disbursed by the municipal treasurer. As a result, Midsalip was reverted to barrio status. It was not until May 8, 1967, when the Republic Act No. 4871 was passed when Midsalip became a regular municipality again.^[5]
