TANGUB CITY
   
   

 

Tangub was originated from the word "TANGKUB" which is a dialect name of a rice container contrived from tree barks.  The Castillan Soldiers securing the hinterlands found a dead man whom the Subanons explained to have been bitten by a snake inside the "Tangkub" while trying to find out if there are still rice in the container.  Unable to understand the dialect, the soldiers made a report that there was a man who died in  "tangkub".  From that time on, Tangub was adopted as the original name in the course of time.

Formerly, Tangub was a barrio of the Municipality of Misamis, now Ozamiz City.  The heavy influx of settlers in the 20's mostly from Cebu, prompted the leaders among the early pioneers to convert the thriving community into a township.

A new municipality was born when a group called "Aspuracion Committee" initiated the movement which lead the issuance of Executive Order No. 81, converting Barrio Tangub into a separate municipality.  On June 17, 1967 Tangub was chartered as a City under R.A. 5131 and became the 3rd component city of Misamis Occidental and the 50th City in the Philippines.

Physical Profile

Location

Tangub City is ensconced at the southern curve of the D-shaped Province of Misamis Occidental.  It is basically situated in the Northwestern part of Northern Minandanao.  A 30-minute flight to Cagayan de Oro City from Davao City and a 3 hours ride by bus from Cagayan de Oro City.  A one hour and 10 minutes flight from Manila to dipolog City and Manila to Cagayan de Oro City.  Only two and a half hours ride from Dipolog City To Tangub City.

Total Land Area

Tangub City has a total land area of 16,572.6238 hectares.  Of the land area, Barangay San Antonio has the largest area of 1,003.4588 has. or an equivalent of 6.05% while barangay V has the smallest area of 7.83530 has. or an equivalent of 0.05% to the total.

Before the approval of the Updated City's Land Use Plan (CLUP), there were only 19 urban barangays and 36 rural barangays but under the city's CLUP 2000, there were twenty-two (22) urban barangays which comprises 16.93% (2,806) of the total land area and thirty-three (33) rural barangays with a total land area of 13,766.25435 hectares which is 83.06% to the city's total land area.  Of the fifty-five (55) barangays, 16 are located along the coast whose land area constitutes 16.38% (2,714.8157) to the City's total land area.

Topography and Land Features

Of the terrain, approximately 40% of the land is plain along the coast, 60% rolling and hilly gradually rising to the Mount Malindang National Forest Preservation in the interior.

Besides Panguil Bay which borders on its eastern fringes are rivers of Malubong and Migcanaway; the creeks of Isidro D. Tan, Labuyo, Aquino and Panalsalan.  Long portion of the two rivers and all the creeks usually become waterless during dry season.  However, these water of bodies regain their flow on the onset of the wet season and easily flooded during torrential rains.

Underground water sources with unlimited potentials, suitable for home and an industrial use is found at low levels along the bay area.  A big source of water at the top of the mountain in Barangay Hoyohoy with a discharge capacity of 8 liters per  second can be a great component of the various plans/projects of the whole city if the construction/expansion of its water system be realized.  The untapped sub-terrain reservoir has capabilities of irrigating wide rain feed rice land besides supplying a viable waterworks system.  Located within the low water belt are the Barangays Maquilao, Mantic, Garang, and coastal sitios of Lorenzo Tan, Pangabuan, Balatacan and Sumirap.

Climate

Fair climate is enjoyed throughout the year.  Southeast monsoon usually takes place from July to September. Moderate rain starts in early May, growing heavier from June to December.  Most rainy months  are September to October.
