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".
