Moncada, officially the Municipality of Moncada (Pangasinan: Baley na Moncada; Ilocano: Ili ti Moncada; Tagalog: Bayan ng Moncada), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Tarlac, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 62,819 people.[4]
The economy is primarily based on agriculture with rice, corn, vegetables, root crops, watermelons, and mangoes as major products. The fishery sector, once a vibrant source of food and income, needs rehabilitation after the onslaught of lahar flows resulting from the Mount Pinatubo eruption. There is a growing retail and service sector in the poblacion along the national highway. Light industries are yet to evolve in the municipality to generate much needed employment. Ilocano, Kapampangan, and Pangasinan are commonly spoken, with Tagalog and English as official languages used for secondary education, business and governance.
Moncada is 153 kilometres (95 mi) from Manila and is 29 kilometres (18 mi) from the provincial capital, Tarlac City. It is accessible via the MacArthur Highway, and from Manila via the NLEX (North Luzon Expressway), SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway), and TPLEX (Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway).
