THE MUNICIPALITY OF ROSARIO, BATANGAS has 48 barangays that are divided into four districts based on the subwatershed area to which they belong. In recent years, due to the increase in urbanization, some barangays have been reclassified from rural to urban. In 2015, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the municipality designated eight new urban settlements, including Alupay, Bagong Pook, Itlugan, Masaya, Namuco, Namunga, San Roque, and Quilib, in addition to the old urban barangays of the Poblacion.
