Bukidnon (/bukdnn/; Officially, Province of Bukidnon: Cebuano: Probinsiya sa

Bukidnon; Tagalog: Lalawigan ng Bukidnon) is a landlocked province of the Philippines located in
the Northern Mindanao region.[3] Its capital is Malaybalay City. The province borders, clockwise
starting from the north, Misamis Oriental, Agusan del Sur, Davao del Norte, Cotabato, Lanao del
Sur, and Lanao del Norte. According to the 2010 Census of Population by the National Statistics
Office (NSO) the province is inhabited by 1,299,192 residents.[4]
The name "Bukidnon" means "highlander" or "mountain dweller". Bukidnon is considered to be the
food basket of Mindanao. It is the major producer of rice and corn in the region. Plantations in the
province also produce pineapples, bananas and sugarcane. Bukidnon is the home of Mount Dulang-
dulang, the 2nd highest mountain in the Philippines with an elevation of 2,938 m located in Kitanglad
Mountain Range.[5] Mount Kitanglad (2,899m.), Mount Kalatungan (2,860m.), Mt. Maagnaw
(2,742m.), Mt. Lumuluyaw (2,612m.) and Mt. Tuminungan (2,400m.), the 4th, 5th, 8th, 17th and 30th
highest mountains in the country respectively, are also found in the province. [6]
There are no seaports in the province due to the fact that the place is landlocked. On the other hand,
the former Malaybalay Airstrip who used to serve the general area of the province was closed down
during the late 1990s and the area where the airport used to be located was converted into a low-
 cost housing project. To get to Bukidnon, one must travel by land from Cagayan de Oro City or
from Davao City.

History[edit]
Political History[edit]
Bukidnon became a part of Misamis in the latter part of 1850. The whole area was then
called Malaybalay and the people were known as Bukidnons (highlanders or mountain dwellers).
The Philippine Commission, then headed by Commissioner Dean C. Worcester, Secretary of Interior,
proposed the separation of Bukidnon from Misamis Province. On August 20, 1907, the Philippine
Commission Act No. 1693 was enacted the Province of Agusan and sub- province of Bukidnon.
Bukidnon became a regular province on March 10, 1917 by virtue of the creation of the Department
of Mindanao and Sulu under Act 2711.
In 1942, invading Japanese troops entered Bukidnon. Mt. Capistrano was a civilian evacuation area
in the World War II. In 1945, the province was liberated from Japanese occupation by Filipino and
American troops with the aid of Bukidnon-based Filipino guerrillas during the Second World War.

Cultural history[edit]
According to oral history of the indigenous people of Bukidnon, there were four main tribes in Central
Mindanao: the Maranaos who dwell in Lanao del Sur, and the Maguindanao, Manobo and Talaandig
tribes who respectively inhabit the eastern, southern, and north-central portions of the original
province of Cotabato. When the civil government divided central Mindanao into provinces at the turn
of the 20th century, the groups included in the province of Bukidnon are the Talaandig and the
Manobo. The Visayans, particularly the Cebuanos and the Hiligaynons migrated into the province
followed by various groups from Luzon, namely, theIlocanos, Tagalogss, and merchants and wealthy
businessmen from Northern Luzon like the Igorots and the Ivatans. All contributed massive
acculturation among the indigenous tribes. Most of those who moved to the mountains and forest
continued to hold on their ancestors cultural heritage. The wide variety of Filipino groups now thrives
in the province and contributed immensely in the socio-economic development.

Geography[edit]
Bukidnon is a landlocked plateau in North Central Mindanao. It is bounded on the north by Misamis
Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City; on the south by North Cotabato, General Santos City and Davao
City; on the east by Agusan del Sur and Davao del Norte; and west by Lanao del Sur. It lies between
parallels 725' and 838' north latitude and meridians 12403' and 12516' east
longitude. Malaybalay City, the capital town, is about 850 kilometres (530 mi) by air from Manila and
91 kilometres (57 mi) by road from Cagayan de Oro City.
It has two important landmarks, Mount Kitanglad and Pulangi River. Mount Kitanglad has a peak of
2,899 metres (9,511 ft) above sea level. Pulangi River, on the other hand, traverses through the
northeastern and southern part of the province towards the Rio Grande of Mindanao.
Land area[edit]
The province's total land area is 1,049,859 hectares (2,594,260 acres). [1] It accounts for 59 percent
(59%) of Northern Mindanao. Thirty-eight percent (38%) is alienable and disposable. The rest is
classified timberland.
It also accounts for 80 percent (80%) or 34 million metric tons of the regions nonmetallic mineral
deposits which include high grade white and red clay, gold, chromite, copper, serpentine,
manganese, quartz and limestone deposits can also be found in the province.
Topography[edit]
Bukidnon is generally characterised as an extensive plateau but the southern and eastern
boundaries are mountainous area. The province's average elevation is 915 metres (3,002 ft) above
sea level. The slope gradient peaks at 2,899 metres (9,511 ft) ofMount Kitanglad, an extinct volcano
occupying the central portion. Two other mountain bodies are found in its southern portion, Mt.
Kalatungan and Mt. Tangkulan, which rise to 2,287 metres (7,503 ft) and 1,678 metres (5,505 ft),
respectively. Gently rolling grassland plateau cut deep and wide canyons of the Cagayan, Pulangi,
and Tagoloan Rivers and their tributaries which cover a greater part of the province. The whole
eastern and southern border adjoining the provinces of Agusan, Davao del Norte, and Cotabato are
covered by lofty and densely forested mountains of the Pantaron Mountain Range (Central
Cordillera).
The Bukidnon plateau is mainly of volcanic zone consisting of pyroclastic, basaltic and andesitic
cones.
The Central Cordillera is a mountain range of sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. About
49% of the land resource of the province is of rugged hills and mountains and 33% of undulating to
rolling terrain. The rest of the province is composed of nearly level terraces, alluvial lowland,
canyons and gorges. The volcanic terraces and volcanic foot slopes that are 500 m above sea level
are estimated to be about 221,600 hectares.
At Mailag, 23 kilometres (14 mi) south of Malaybalay City, the plateau begins to descend and
gradually merges into the lowlands of Cotabatoprovince.
Climate[edit]
Two types of climate prevail between the northern and southern sections of Bukidnon, The northern
part is classified as belonging to Type III, that is, there is no pronounced rain period but relatively dry
during the months of November to May. In the southern portion of the province, the climate is
classified as Type IV with no dry season. The driest area is Baungon, while the wettest is the
Calabugao plain. The climate is relatively cool and humid throughout the year.
The average annual rainfall is 2,800 millimetres (110 in). Just like in other parts of the country,
rainfall is more pronounced from June to October compared to other months of the year. February to
April are the drier months.
Temperature ranges vary with elevation. In areas lower than 500 metres (1,600 ft) above sea level
(m.a.s.l.), the recorded temperature range is between 20 to 34 C (68 to 93 F). Areas with
elevations greater than 500 m.a.s.l. would have temperatures ranging from 18 to 28 C (64 to 82 F).
Relative humidity also varies with elevation, with those above 500 m having relative humidity of
about 80%, while areas lying below 500 meters, 65-7 percent. Thus, the Malaybalay-Impasug-ong
area and those around the volcanic cones approximate semi-temperate conditions and can support
the cultivation of highland tropical crops.
Based on the records of climatological stations within and near the province, lithology and land form,
three (3) agro-ecological zones are identified. One covers the mountainous eastern side (Central
Cordillera) which is generally wet, with rainfall of about 2,340 to 4,000 millimetres (92 to 157 in) per
annum. Another covers the high altitude volcanic plains, the Malaybalay-Impasug-ong area and the
footslopes of Mt. Kitanglad and Mt. Kalatungan. These areas have an annual rainfall in the range of
2,490 to 3,680 millimetres (98 to 145 in). The third zone covers the south-central and the north-
western parts of the province, with elevations of less than 500 meters, relatively dry with mean
annual rainfall in the range of 1,700 to 2,600 millimetres (67 to 102 in).
Bodies of water[edit]

The Pulangi River in Brgy. San Jose, Quezon.

Bukidnon is known as the watershed of Mindanao. It is endowed with six major river systems
namely: Pulangi, Tagoloan, Cagayan, Manupali, Muleta, and Bobonawan Rivers. These rivers
carved the landscape of the province creating numerous canyons.
The Pulangi River, considered the longest river in the province, is a tributary of the Rio Grande of
Mindanao. Its headwaters are found in the mountains of Kalabugao, Impasugong. It is the largest as
well as the longest river found in the province. It covers the following cities and municipalities of the
province: Impasugong, Malaybalay City, Cabanglasan, San Fernando, Valencia
City, Maramag, Quezon, Don Carlos, Kitaotao, Dangcagan, Kibawe and Damulog.
The Tagoloan River has its headwaters in the mountains of Can-ayan, Malaybalay City. It traverses
the province northwestward passing through Malaybalay City, Impasugong, Sumilao, Manolo
Fortich, Malitbog and finally empties into the sea at Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental.
The Cagayan River watershed is found mostly in the municipality of Talakag. Its headwaters are
found in the Kitanglad Mountain Range in central Bukidnon. The river flows northward through the
municipalities of Talakag and Baungon. Its mouth lies at Cagayan de Oro City inMisamis Oriental,
where it is the main source of potable water.
The Manupali River, a major tributary of the Pulangi River, start in the mountains of Lantapan,
Bukidnon, picking up tributaries along the way from the Kalatungan and Kitanglad Mountain Ranges.
It forms part of the natural boundary of the Valencia City and Lantapan. It flows eastward
towards Malaybalay City, eventually joining the Pulangi River in Valencia City.
The Muleta River is found in the southern portion of the province covering the municipalities
of Pangantucan, Don Carlos, Kitaotao,Dangcagan, Kibawe, Kadingilan and Damulog. It is another
important tributary of the Pulangi River and flows southward. It will join the Pulangi River in the
boundary of Bukidnon and Cotabato province.
The Bobonawan River, found in the municipality of Cabanglasan, is another tributary of the Pulangi
River. It covers most of the parts of the municipality, flowing southward towards Pulangi River.
Aside from the relatively important river systems, various lakes also dot the landscape of the
province. Pinamaloy Lake, in Don Carlos, Bukidnon, is the biggest in the province covering about 50
hectares. It was named after Barangay Pinamaloy, the place where the lake is located. Another lake
is found in Pigtauranan, Pangantucan called the Napalit Lake. The lake covers an area of 36
hectares and is one of the tourist spots in Pangantucan, Bukidnon. There are 24 floating islets in the
lake. The third significant inland body of water in the province is Apo Lake at Guinoyoran, Valencia
City. It occupies an approximate area of 25 hectares. A man-made lake called Maramag Basin is
found in Maramag, Bukidnon, which was the result of the construction of the Pulangi IV Hydroelectric
Dam of the National Power Corporation (NPC) in the course of the Pulangi River.

to confine all its investment promotion activities and projects to the strip of land three kilometers from
both sides of the Sayre Highway from Damulog toManolo Fortich, and along the national/provincial
road from Kibawe to Kadingilan; Don Carlos to Kadingilan; Maramag to Quezon; Maramag to
Kadingilan; Kadingilan toPangantucan; Valencia City to San Fernando; Malaybalay
City to Cabanglasan; Malaybalay to Lantapan; Manolo Fortich to Libona; Libona to Cagayan de
Oro; Talakag toPangantucan; and Malitbog to Tagoloan in Misamis Oriental.
