[urnosen] Pakasaritaaan
The town's name is derived from the Cebuano term "mahayag" (ma=to become + hayag=bright) which means to become bright or sunny. When the Visayan migrants first trickled into the area after WW-II, the place was heavily forested, which, to some looks dark and forbidding. Local historical sources had it that when a large "Dao" tree which stands in the townsite was felt, the place becomes bright, hence the expression "mahayag".
Mahayag used to be sitio of barangay Molave of the municipality of Aurora. Early settlers of the area had endeavored for the creation of another municipality to fast-track development which is possible only by having a distinct political subdivision from the municipality of Molave. The town site for the new municipality was donated by Messrs Zacarias dela Torre and Pedro Alquizar.
The municipality of Mahayag was officially created on March 9, 1960, pursuant to Executive Order No. 393 by former President Carlos P. Garcia , with Saturnino Mendoza as its first appointed and subsequently elected Municipal Mayor. Hon. Lorna Saycon Espina, the incumbent Municipal mayor, is the 9th Municipal Mayor of the Municipality of Mahayag. Past mayors include Hon. Paulino P. Fanilag, Hon. Carlito A. Lumacang as OIC-Mayor following the EDSA I Revolution, and Hon. Perpetuo C. Apale, the appointed Officer-in-Charge in the Office of the Municipal Mayor during the first election after the ratification of the 1987 Constitution.
