Masinloc is a first class municipality in the province of Zambales, Philippines. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 44,342 people.[3]
The disputed Scarborough Shoal (under the names Pulo ng Panatag and Bajo de Masinlóc) is claimed by the Philippine government as within the town's territorial jurisdiction.
