The municipality was formerly known as Magsaysay. It was named after the former congressman, Delfin Albano.

Etymology

On November 14, 1982, by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 291, the municipality was renamed to its current name in honor of its native legislator, Congressman Delfin Albano.[5]

History

On June 22, 1957, by virtue of Republic Act No. 2009, the barrios of San Antonio, San Juan, Ragan Sur, Ragan Norte, Ragan Almacen, San Jose (Bulo), San Patricio, Quibal, San Andres (Lattu), Calinawan Sur, Bayabo, Santor, Santo Rosario, Andarayan, Aneg, San Isidro, Maui, San Roque, Carmencita, Aga, Villa Pareda, Villaluz, San Pedro, Concepcion, San Macario and San Nicolas and the sitios of Turod, Paco, Calamagui and Kim-malabasa, were separated from the municipality of Tumauini to form the municipality of Magsaysay, in honor of President Ramon Magsaysay who died two months prior.[6]

In 1982, a bill seeking to change the name of the municipality from Magsaysay to Delfin Albano was filed in the Interim Batasang Pambansa. This was in honor of the late Delfin Albano who authored the Republic Act No. 2009 which created the municipality of Magsaysay. On November 14, 1982, Batasang Pambansa No. 291 was approved. The municipality formally celebrated and installed the name of Delfin Albano on October 1, 1983.[7]
