Unisan, Quezon
Unisan, officially the Municipality of Unisan ( tgl, Bayan ng Unisan), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Quezon, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 25,448 people. Etymology The name of Unisan may have been derived from the Spanish verb ''unir'', meaning "unite". At that time inhabitants, which were composed of strangers from different parts of the island, were united and wanted to call the town Unisan, a corruption of the words union and unidos for the sake of euphony. There is another, more plausible version which related that the name was derived from the Latin words ''uni-sancti'', meaning "one saint" or "in honor of a saint", possibly referring to Friar Pedro Bautista, once a missionary to Unisan when this town was still Kalilayan and later canonized saint following his martyrdom while a missionary in Japan.
