Malabuyoc, officially the Municipality of Malabuyoc (; ), is a municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 20,378 people.

History

According to a popular story, once Malabuyoc grew plenty of fruit trees like mangoes, lanzones, cacaos, and others. So much that the branches of the trees bent down (buyoc in Visaya) under their weight. On account of this, the place came to be called Buyoc.

Malabuyoc is the mother town for Alegria and a contributor town to Ginatilan. Some barangays of both Alegria and Ginatilan were originated from Malabuyoc. Almost half or more than half of the current jurisdictions of Alegria and Ginatilan respectively originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Malabuyoc. If the town of Ginatilan had not been created, Malabuyoc would have been the claimant for the 2nd Filipino Saint: Pedro Calungsod

It was officially established as the original municipality of Alegria and Ginatilan. Though the municipality of Ginatilan is a daughter town of Samboan, Malabuyoc was a contributor to Ginatilan. Malabuyoc separated its parish from Samboan in 1832. Its Parish Church was finished in 1834.

Roman Catholic Parishes for these 3 municipalities in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu are,

  • San Nicolas De Tolentino Parish (F-1834), Malabuyoc, Cebu 6029
  • San Gregorio Magno Parish (F-1847), Ginatilan, Cebu 6028
  • Saint Francis Xavier Parish (F-1857), Alegria, Cebu 6030

Malabuyoc is one of the eight municipalities comprising the 7th congressional district of Cebu.
