Dolores is a fifth class municipality in the province of Abra, Philippines. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 11,499 people.[3]
The place used to be called Bucao, named after the first Tingguian (Itneg) chieftain who settled in the place long before Spanish colonization. It used to be part of the Municipality of Tayum. In 1882, upon the recommendation of the parish priest of Tayum, Fr. Pio Mercado, and the Teniente Bazar of Bucao, Don Ignacio Eduarte, Bucao was created as a separate pueblo. In 1885, Bucao was renamed Dolores, in honor to its patron saint, the Nuestra Señora delos Dolores (Our Lady Of Sorrows). The first gobernadorcillo[clarification needed] of the town was Don Rosalio Eduarte.[citation needed]
