Political Subdivisions
Iriga City is composed of 36 barangays subdivided into four parishes, symbolized by the four crosses on the city seal. Most
of the names of these barangays are taken from the names of the venerated saints, resulting from the strong influence of the
evangelinization process of the Spanish missionaries during the Spanish colonial times. The four parishes
are: Saint Anthony Parish (Downtown Iriga), Blessed Virgin of Angustia (Santo Domingo), Lady of Fatima (San Isidro),
and Lady of Miraculous Medal (Santiago). The thirty-six barangays are (alphabetically): Antipolo,
Cristo Rey, Del Rosairo, Francia, La Anunsacion, La Medalla, La Purisima, La Trinidad, Nino Jesus, Perpetual Help, Sagrada,
Salvacion, San Agustin, San Andres, San Antonio, San Francisco, San Isidro, San Jose, San Juan, San Miguel, San Nicolas, San
Pedro, San Rafael, San Ramon, San Roque, San Vicente Norte, San Vicente Sur, Santa Cruz Norte, Santa Cruz Sur, Santa ELena,
Santa Isabel, Santa Maria, Santa Teresita, Santiago, Santo Domingo, and Santo Nino.
