History[]

Sual used to be a part of a town called San Isidro Labrador de Tobuang (now called Labrador). However Sual would separate from this town when an issue was decreed by the Spanish Governor General Rafael Maria de Aguilar. In May 2019, Liseldo D.Q. Calugay, after a landslide victory, end the 15-year reign of the Arcinue clan.

Maritime issues[]

On January, 2008, Bolinao Mayor Alfonso Celeste said the local government will file damage suit against Indonesian owners of the barge APOL 3003. The University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UPMSI) stated that the environmental damage was PHP54.9 million. The barge towed by a tug boat from Indonesia to the power plant in Sual on November 27 when Typhoon Mina destroyed its anchor and rope, then hurled it to Ilog Malino reef, spilling 95% of its coal cargo. The hard coal spill spread to 33 hectares (82 acres) of coral and sea grass areas.[16]
