CHAPTER I
GENERAL OVERVIEW
1.1 Brief History
1.1.1 Political History
Sultan Kudarat was once a part of the former empire province of Cotabato. It was
created as a separate province along with Maguindanao and North Cotabato on November
22, l973 by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 341 signed by former Pres. Ferdinand E.
Marcos.
The purpose of dividing Cotabato into three (3) smaller provinces is clearly stated in
Presidential Decree No. 341, which pertinently provided, to wit:
“Whereas, the province of Cotabato is one of the largest and richest

provinces of the Philippines;
Whereas, the potentials of the province have not been fully developed due
to the magnitude of the task of provincial development and troubles that
have long plagued the area;
Whereas, the many conflicting political, social and economic interests that
have limited the progress of the province must be resolved in order to
promote the stability and accelerate the development of Cotabato; and
Whereas, there is a need for dividing the present province into smaller units
which can be more effectively administered and developed”.
The name Sultan Kudarat given to the province was derived from a Muslim ruler,
the late Sultan Mohammed Dipatuan Kudarat who begun to assert his leadership in the year
1619 and reigned the Sultanate of Maguindanao from January 1625 to 1671 A.D.
He was a virtuous leader who embodied the idea of basic unity, oneness and
freedom among the diverse people scattered throughout its Sultanate. For this reason, he
was considered as one of the national heroes of our country and for his honour this
province was named after him.
During the first three (3) months after its creation, the province was under the
administration of Col. Carlos B. Cajelo who was then the Governor of North Cotabato, now
Cotabato Province. Sultan Kudarat started to function as a regular province with the
appointment of the late Brig. Gen. Gonzalo H. Siongco on March 1, l974 as Acting Governor
together with former Mayor Conrado E. Buencamino of the capital town of Isulan as Vice
Governor and Atty. Estanislao V. Valdez, Atty. Aurelio C. Freires, Jr. and Engr. Miguel T.
Jacalan as members of the Provincial Board. The Governors who have administered the
province since its creation to become what it is now are as follows:

The province is richly endowed with water resources adequate enough to supply
water requirements for irrigation, transportation, and fishery as well as for domestic and
industrial uses.
A portion of Buluan Lake covering around 2/3 of the total area belongs to
the province. This could be found in the municipalities of Lutayan and Pres. Quirino. Aside
from being used for irrigation, the lake is a source of livelihood among fisherfolks in the
area. The Liguasan Marsh in Lambayong is also another source of inland fishes for domestic
and commercial purposes.
There are 23 large creeks, and 11 major springs and waterfalls in the province that
are presently tapped as source of drinking water supply.
There are seven major rivers in the province. Three of these are major tributaries
of the Cotabato or Pulangi River which supplies water to the vast Cotabato River Basin.
These are the Alip, Allah and Kapingkong. The other four are the Tran and Salaman Rivers of
Lebak, the Palimbang River and Kabulnan River of Senator Ninoy Aquino. Likewise, these
rivers are principally being utilized for irrigation.
There are three (3) watershed areas in the province classified as proclaimed, critical

HUMAN RESOURCES
2.1 Population
2.1.1. Age-Sex Specific Size
The province posted a total population of 677,062 based from the official result of
the 2007 census of population. This figure reveals a 15.44% increase compared to 2000
population census which is placed at 586,505.
Of the 11 municipalities and one (1) component city, Tacurong has the most number
of populations at 82,546 or 12.21% of the total population followed by Isulan with 79,277 or
11.73%, Palimbang with 78,523 or 11.60% of the total population and Lebak with 77,139 or
11.41%. The municipality of Columbio was the least populated at 3.5% of the total
population in both the 2000 and 2007 censuses.
For CY 2007 official result of population census, there is no available data on sex
distribution. However, during the 2000 census, the males outnumbered the females in the
province of which 51.27% (300,716) are male while 48.73% (285,789) are female. The same
is true in all the municipalities and city. A ratio of 105:100 shows that there is a greater
number of male than that of female in the locality (see Table 11).
In terms of age structure (2000 census), the province is characterized by a relatively

young population. About 41% of the total populations are 14 years old and younger. More
than half (56%) belong to the age bracket of 15 to 64 years, while those over 65 years old
compose about 3% of the total population. (see Figure 2 & Table 12).

2.1.6. Literacy
Based on the 2000 Census, the province has a literacy rate of 83.96% for population
10 years old and over. Of the 11 municipalities and one (1) city, Tacurong City has the
highest literacy rate with 93.44%, followed by Esperanza with 91%. The lowest literacy rates
are recorded in the municipalities of Lutayan and Palimbang at 69.74% and 70.08%,
respectively. Those municipalities that have achieved lowest ratings are situated in the
hinterlands and mostly populated by indigenous and Muslim people.
However, tables 15 and 16 show that more than half of the 10 years old and over
population are already literate. This indicates improvement in the delivery of basic
educational services in the hard to reach areas. The age group between 20 to 24 years
registered the highest literacy rate at 89.52%.

Of the 676,482 household population in the province, about three-fifths (59.12

percent or 399,899) belonged to the working-age or productive ages population (15-64
years). Persons considered to be economically dependent accounted for the remaining two-
fifths of the household population, with 37.81 percent or 255,800 young dependents (under
15 years) and 3.07 percent or 20,783 old dependents (65 years and over) (See Table 29).

The overall dependency ratio of household population in the province for 2007 was
69 persons per 100 persons in the working age group. This means that for every 100 persons
aged 15-64 years, there were 69 dependents (64 young dependents and 5 old dependents).
Dependency ratio has decreased from the 2000 census of population result of 76
dependents (72 young dependents and 4 old dependents) for every 100 persons in the
working age population. (See Table 29)

The province has five major soil types characterized by good drainage and high
fertility making the area favorable to diversified agricultural crops, fruit trees, commercial
trees, cash crops and other leguminous plants.
About 71% of these areas fall under mountain soil type. The other portions have
been classified into the different soil types based on moisture, porosity, soil fertility, acidity
and other related physical and chemical characteristics. Loam type of soil is dominant in the
lowland while undifferentiated soils are mostly found in the high elevation areas (see Table
38 & 39).

3.1.4 Slope
The slope of an area is one of the dominant factors in determining sustainable land
uses. Table 40 shows the slope ranges and percentage distribution.
The slope ranging from 0 to 3% is within the level to nearly level category.
Approximately, 28.95% of the total province’ land areas belong to this category. This kind of
land is suited for agriculture, residential, commercial, industrial and/or urban land uses.
The gently sloping to undulating category that ranges from 3 to 8 percent slope is
approximately 2.97% of the total land area. It is suited for agricultural as well as urban uses.

Areas classified under undulating to rolling categories constitute 15.09% of the total land
area. Areas with slope ranging from 18 to 30% are considered marginal agricultural lands
covering 18.27%, while 30 to 50% slope range constitutes 19.67% of the area of the
province. These areas are reserved for forest production and reforestation.

3.3 Mineral Resources
3.3.1 Mineral Reserves
Mineral reserves are abundant in the province making it one of the potentials for
investment in Southern Mindanao. Metallic minerals are found mostly in the mountainous
areas of Isulan, Bagumbayan, Sen. Ninoy Aquino, Palimbang and Columbio. These minerals
include copper, gold and silver.
Explorations conducted by the Mines and Geo-Sciences Bureau (MGB), proved that
there are sizeable amount of copper deposits in Bagumbayan and Palimbang while iron
deposits have also been detected. At present, mineral mining claims have been awarded in
certain areas of Columbio, Sen. Ninoy Aquino and Bagumbayan, and gold panning activities
thrive in these areas. Among the applicants for mining concessions, the Sagittarius Mining
Inc. (SMI) formerly Western Mining Corporation (WMC) has the widest area applied for and
presently in the process of mining explorations in Columbio.
Non-metallic minerals found in the province include sand, gravel and marbleized
limestone (See Table 45b).

4.1 Income and Expenditures
Family income and expenditure provide information on the levels and disparities in income
among various family groups and present a general idea of their spending patterns.
Ideally, clear information on income distribution and consumption patterns of families help
the government direct development programs to those families and communities where these are
most needed.
For the year 2000, most (21,957 or 18%) of the total number of families in the province is
earning P40,000.00 to P49,999.00 annually. Only 262 (0.22%) families reached the earning bracket
of P500,000.00 and over. Majority of the families in the province belong to the lower income class.

4.5 Agriculture
4.5.1 Land Area
Sultan Kudarat is basically and primarily an agricultural province. Endowed with rich
and vast agricultural potentials and advantages, the province grows and could produce
relatively all kinds of agricultural commodities with comparatively higher level of
productivity. This makes the province not only self-sufficient, but a leading agricultural
producer in the region.
However, the advantages were not fully and properly utilized to bring forth
maximum economic benefits for its farmers which comprise about 75% of the total
population. These were not effectively translated into desired economic indicators such as
increased farmer’s income and improved standard of living of those in the agricultural
sector.

4.6 Rice Sufficiency
For the year 2010, farmers harvested a total of 351,223.90 metric tons of palay. It is
assumed that 89% of the total production was sent for milling and only 65% from it is considered as
milled rice. The province therefore has a total rice supply of 157,926.68. Assuming that 100% of the
population is rice-eaters and each person is consuming 106 kilograms of rice per annum, the
province’s consumption for the year will total to 81,018.51 metric tons.

5.2.3.6 Malaria Control Services
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease which remained as a health problem

endemic to six (6) municipalities of the province (Table 118).
The province registered a high number or confirmed malaria cases. For CY

2010, a total of 408 malaria cases were confirmed. A total of 270 males and 135
females were affected.
Due to the continuous occurrence of malaria cases, the province is a

recipient of a project, the Global Fund Malaria component (October 2007 – October
2012), the activity included the hiring of Medical Technologist in selected endemic
municipalities, training of malaria microscopist, purchase of chemical reagents for
indoor residual spraying, distribution of treated mosquito nets and creation of
Provincial Malaria Management Committee.
The training of BHWs on Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) in Malaria affected

areas helped expedite implementation of the program in terms of examination,
treatment and discovery of more cases. As a result there is a decrease of positive
malaria cases. Malaria cases dropped from 922 in 2009 to 408 in 2010.

government agencies such as DPWH, DILG and DOH constructed Level I facilities for
public use.
In 2010, there is a total service coverage of 88,179 households. The city of

Tacurong recorded the highest number of households with access to the Level I
Water System at 12,826 households followed by the municipality of Isulan with

7.2.2 Income and Expenditures
Income of the province is comprised of revenue from tax, non-tax and from
external sources which is the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) share from National
Collection and the share from National Wealth, the Mining fees.
For the year 2007-2010, the total income of the province was noted as
increasing from PhP526,275,953.00 to PhP761,706,576.00, a big part of which came
from the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA). As computed, the average IRA’s share to
total income is recorded at 97.27% or PhP665,811,897.10, the revenue from taxes
totaled at an average of PhP13,107,688.72 or 2.01% while the non-tax comprised an
average of 0.72% share in the total income . Record shows the high dependency of the
province on IRA during the years in review. However, although reliance on IRA is
observed, a 100% increase in tax revenue for 2010 shows positive indication that the
province’s Financial Management Team strives to further increase the income of the
province through its Revenue Generation and Mobilization Program.

7.3 Assessment of Real Property
7.3.1 Taxable and Exempt Assessment
Assessment of real property is conducted as basis for collection of taxes by the treasury. Real property
refers to land, building and machinery. Real property is assessed to determine whether it is taxable or exempt.
During 2010, number of taxable parcels totaled at 91,701, an increase of 2,903 parcels compared to 2009 with
88,798. Total valuation in 2010 amounted at PhP4,861,409,720.00 while in 2009 amounted at
PhP4,653,502,820.00. One (1) percent of the total assessed valuation is the tax payable. Among the eleven (11)
municipalities, Isulan has the most number of taxable parcels of land followed by Lebak and Lambayong. The
least number of taxable parcels was noted at Lutayan. Highest number of exempt parcels was observed at
Lebak while the least were recorded at Palimbang and Lutayan.

Festival of the Province, City and Municipalities
KALIMUDAN
(Festival of the Province of Sultan Kudarat)
KALIMUDAN is a Maguindanaon word derived from the word “limud” which means to gather, to
meet and to collect. Another word of the origin is the word “limu” which means a blessing. The
whole term therefore means a collection, a meeting or a gallery of blessings.
As an analogy, Sultan Kudarat Community is a KALIMUDAN (collection) of diverse people with

their unique culture, beliefs and traditions. Since many of the ethnic groups that settled in the
different parts of the archipelago can also be found in the province, she is also a KALIMUDAN (a
gallery) of wealth and crafts. In one statement, interesting people and their culture, potent
manpower and material affluence are considered collected blessing for Sultan Kudarat.
KALIMUDAN is also translated as a social convergence when people from all parts of the
community gather for a festivity, that is usually taking place in the yard of a chief or Datu.
Merrymaking and competitions are held during this event. Dancers, singers, sipa players, agong
and kulintang musicians, and others also meet to showcase their talents that often lead to
competition. It is also the time when the beautiful lasses of the community present themselves,
thus the concept of a beautiful pageant. In the contemporary setting, Kalimudan would include
trade fairs, ball games, exhibits, parade and many others.
As the word connotes unity, the value that must be preserved by all the people of Sultan
Kudarat, is inculcated during meetings and convergence. This is an important ingredient of
cultural preservation, social, political and spiritual development as well as the economic
progress.

BANSADAYAW
(Festival of Bagumbayan)
When the Christian settlers in Bagumbayan had already stabilized their farming status and
begun reaping the fruits of their labor, foremost that came into their minds was the offering of
thanks for such blessings from almighty God.
They did this in the form of Harvest Festival starting with religious prayers and highlighted with
merrymaking festivities where the cultures and traditions of their places of origin were practiced
and observed. Year after year, such kind of festivity had evolved with enhancements because
Muslims and indigenous communities were able to learn and accept each others’ beliefs and
traditions.
Thus, the “ Bansadayaw ” Festival came into existence. Although the term was coined Visayan –
Ilonggo root word “ Bansa” which means “ in full view “ and “ sayaw “, hinugway, dayaw “ all
having connotation of marrymaking, said activity was very much welcome by the entire
inhabitants of Bagumbayan.
The Bansadayaw Festival was also meant that somebody in full view, is Lording and above
humanity. He is the Heavenly Creator who wanted his creation to act and follow according to his
will. Regardless of one’s status on earth, rich or poor, mighty or weak, famous or unknown,
everybody is answerable during that day of Judgment. Therefore, this festival is a means to
implore the divine guidance of Almighty God because without him people can do nothing.
The “ Bansadayaw Festival “ in synopsis is the realization of the citizens’ united effort to magnify
and preserve the diversified cultural heritage of all tribes like the Muslims, T’boli, B’laan,
Manobo, Ilonggo, Cebuano, Ilocano, Pampanggeñio and Tagalog who composed Bagumbayan
today and most especially open tourism opportunities amidst cultural diversity.

Christians, Muslims and Lumads in different traditions and cultures bonded as one.
The GONG symbolizes the call for gathering and echoing the growth of endeavors and aspiration

ANNEX III 222

HINABYOG
(Festival of Esperanza)
HINABYOG FESTIVAL was once a dream now a reality. It came from an Ilonggo term “
HINABYOG “ which means swing to bring into reality, celebration of fun, merriment and
thanksgiving. A festivity portrayed the mixed tradition and culture and the history of the very
progressive municipality of Esperanza. This will have to commemorate the past and relate to the
present the feast/rapid development of the place and will picture out the life of the populace
from a very simple to a prosperous and progressive one.
From a mere NARRA settlement, ESPERANZA, the cradle of HOPE and PROSPERITY had swing
and developed into a SITTIO of barangay Villamor. It was named after the beautiful wife of the
settler leader Leandro Africa by the teacher enablers. It had steadfastly turned to a progressive
municipality despite the tribal atrocities as history accounts.
A promise land with verdant forest and wild life exists, like wild pigs, ducks and chicken, deer’s
jumping to and fro on huge log. This was the picture of the old Esperanza. Gone are the days
when tarsiers and monkeys happily swing from tree to tree with the sweet melodies of the
various kinds of birds with King Kalaw on lead and where populace trod narrow trails or laden
on a sled pulled by a slow moving carabao. Now, all these are replaced by wide feeder farm
roads and highways and various kinds of fast moving and improved transportation.
A place with a plenty of indigenous and natural resources helped enriched its inhabitants of
Muslims, Christians and Lumads alike. The pioneers turned the area into progressive
municipality. Before, agriculture had been the prime source of living. However, as the
population grew, the people began to engage in simple cottage industries to sustain their way of
life. Weaving which up to now exists, had been a very important activity as anahaw, buri,
pandan, tikog, nito, wild bomboo and rattan which luxuriate in the place since then.
From these materials, mats, bags, baskets, kaing bilao and duyan were woven. The “DUYAN” has
a big significance to the name of Esperanza’s festivity. To recall, it had not only given the
populace, young and adult alike, a pleasure and fun, but was also utilized to transport patients
and weak individuals to far away places to see doctor or medico when transportation was
nowhere to find. DUYAN the family’s recreation and leisure partner for its countless swings or “
HABYOG “ brings from anyone from tiresome day’s toil, dreamy restful and sound nap during
siesta or anytime of the day. It can lull babies to a sound sleep with their mother’s sweet
lullabies.

due to the scarcity of rattan nowadays, HINABYOG FESTIVAL was realized to boast and portray
the simple hopes and dreams of the ESPERANZANIANS to live a progressive and prosperous life.

continually swing hopes and dreams for a better BEAUTIFUL ESPERANZA, which will continually
soar high with beautiful colors in the future.

PASUNDAYAG
(Festival of Isulan)
Every month of September, the municipality of Isulan is conducting the PASUNDAYAG FESTIVAL
to celebrate its Foundation Anniversary. ISULANONS believe that the wealth of arts and culture
is expressed in many forms and in so many kinds. The PASUNDAYAG Festival showcases the
skills and talents in literary, musical and cultural aspects of the constituents both the young and
the old. It is not only unique but is reflective of a special talent in the person as well.
The PASUNDAYAG also depicts the thanksgiving festival of its residents who are mostly engaged
in agriculture. This includes rice and corn farming, vegetables and crops production including the
famous African palm which has contributed a lot to the utilization of its by-products as
construction materials – the uniquely woven ”kalakat” known all over Mindanao.
The festival is divided into two parts: the first part shows the different activities being done in
the farm. After which a thanksgiving is performed for their good harvest. The second part shows
the merrymaking in the form of dance using different properties and materials that make it very
festive.
As a whole, the PASUNDAYAG Festival actually expresses life itself or deep-seated emotion
communicated by the emotions of the human body blending with the music. The flow of body
movements, the sound of the music and the grace with which the dance is executed all build up
the story or emotions being communicated.
No doubt, this is a unique form of art, and along with other activities or talent being displayed
during festivities, it is a contribution to the dreams of establishing solidarity among the peoples
in the province of Sultan Kudarat.

Brief History by Municipality and City
MUNICIPALITY OF BAGUMBAYAN
Brief History
Bagumbayan is situated near the foot of the Daguma Mountain Range which became the
nucleus of a new municipality. In the early fifties, a Muslim leader Datu Kudanding Camsa of the Allah
Valley Empire, opened a settlement on the western part of the Allah River, named the place “Bagong
Bayan” meaning new town and ultimately was named as Bagumbayan.
Bagumbayan became one of the largest barangays of the municipality of Isulan. Seeing the
progress of the said community, sometimes in November 1965, the then President Diosdado Macapagal,
created Bagumbayan into a municipality by virtue of Executive Order. The municipality comprises nine
(9) barangays taken west of Isulan, the mother municipality.
The first Mayor was Datu Kudanding Camsa. The municipality existed until April 1966, for it was
reverted into a barangay as a result of the ruling that the President of the Philippines could not create
municipality by Executive Order.
In 1969, Congress of the Philippine Republic passed a bill recreating the municipality of
Bagumbayan. It was signed by President Ferdinand E. Marcos on June 21, 1969, which became Republic
Act No. 5960.
The law further provided that the new municipality shall begin its corporate existence with the
election and qualification of its first elected municipal officials in the special election on November,
1969.
The first set of elected officials who took their oath sometime on January, 1970 were as follows:
Mayor - Datu Don Ampatuan
Vice Mayor - Antonio Forro
Councilors:
1. Martin Forro
2. Manuel Lacdo-o
3. Fabian Asug
4. Ricardo Alocada
5. Saladong Nilong
6. Carlos Filla
In mid 1970, a conflict between the Christians and the Muslims broke out and the municipality
was left into the care of Martin Forro, as an acting Municipal Mayor.
ANNEX IV 233
It was followed by 1971 election, and elected officials were: Antonio Forro - Mayor, Jose Navio -
Vice Mayor and the Councilmen Merano Sumblingo, Rodolfo Aguirre, Severino Pacheco and Victorino
Castro.
The third set of elected officials were as follows: Antonio Forro - Mayor, Bedasto Tingson - Vice
Mayor and the Sangguniang Bayan members were: Sergio Corbal, Nicolas Villanueva, Antonio
Hallegado, Manuel Lacdo-o, Jesus Pimentel, Charlie Casuyon, Esteban Barri and Rodolfo Galimba. This
set of officials had been extended as their tenure of office was unknown following the declaration of
Martial Law of the then Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos.
Just after the lifting of the Martial Law, people in all parts of the country expressively demanded
a change of government through mass action. In response, a snap Presidential Election was held,
neither the election nor the result brought back the normal situation until such time that People’s
Revolution broke out last February 22, 1986. Thereafter, a Lady President Madame Corazon C. Aquino
was installed through a Revolutionary Government. This led to order the replacement of the national
and local officials.
In the municipality of Bagumbayan, the appointed OIC Municipal Mayor was Jose Navio, who
took his oath of office on March 20, 1986 and later followed by the appointment of Raymundo dela Cruz
as OIC Vice-Mayor.
In mid 1987, the political character of Jose Navio as mayor was questioned and challenged thus
resulted to change of leadership and an OIC Municipal Mayor, in the person of Victor D. Gabut replaced
Jose Navio. Mr. Gabut took his oath of office on June 15, 1987.
It was then that the local election was scheduled. The municipal officials except the OIC
Municipal Vice-Mayor tendered their resignation in preference to their desire to file a certificate of
candidacy. To run the affair of the Municipal Government pursuant to R.A. No. 3666 and 3667, as
amended interim officials headed by Crisanto Guantero as Municipal Mayor were appointed with the
tenure of office from December 1,1987 until February 2,1988. The elected officials assumed office on
January 18, 1988 after the local election. The elected Municipal Mayor was Victor D. Gabut and Gonzalo
H.De Pedro as Vice Mayor.
The result of May 11, 1992, synchronized National and Local elections were: Gonzalo H. De
Pedro - Municipal Mayor and Nonito A. Forro as Vice Mayor. The 1995 Local Election retained
incumbent Mayor Gonzalo H. De Pedro and Nonito A. Forro as Vice Mayor. In May 1998 election Felipe
T. Allaga and Danny E. Falcis won as Mayor and Vice Mayor respectively.
Bagumbayan is predominantly inhabited by Ilonggo, mostly from Capiz and Aklan. The rest are
from Iloilo, Antique and Negros Occidental. The Ilocanos constitute the third group and other tribes
make up the diverse minority.

MUNICIPALITY OF COLUMBIO
Brief History
Before the year 1961, Columbio was still a part of the municipality of Buluan, of the then
empire Cotabato Province populated by the native B’laans practicing the old moors and tradition of
their tribe. It was still then called “COLON-BIAO” meaning cogon and nut trees for the place was
blanketed with ever-green cogons and towering nut trees.
In the latter part of 1952, waves of Christians came to “Colon-biao” with their pioneering spirit
to occupy a land they can call their own. Then, the name “Colon-biao” was changed to Columbio for it is
easier to pronounce, but still correlating to the mysterious but captivating “Column of Views” of cogons
and nut trees.
Sometimes in 1953, the National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Administration (NARRA)

opened the place as a settlement project. Improvement had been introduced and the allocation of farm
lots to the residents had been facilitated, supplying them with work-animals and farm implements and
some foodstuffs.
Late in the year 1953, Columbio became a regular barangay under the municipality of Buluan,
Cotabato. In 1960, local leaders and various sectoral groups petitioned the President of the Philippines
to create Columbio as a separate municipality from the Mother Municipality, Buluan. Hence, on August
6, 1961, Pres. Carlos P. Garcia issued Executive Order No. 439, creating the municipality of Columbio.

MUNICIPALITY OF ESPERANZA
Brief History
The Municipality of Esperanza was created under Presidential Decree No. 339, dated November
22, 1973, with 27 barangays, out of the thirty four (34) existing barangays of Ampatuan, Cotabato.
However, due to the petition submitted by the prominent leaders to the then Excellency President
Ferdinand E. Marcos, the aforementioned decree was amended by P.D. No. 596 dated December 3,
1974, which reduced its area to the present 19 barangays.
Esperanza is a Spanish term which means “HOPE”. It was said that the first baby born in the
new settled purok was a girl. As a new born, this infant was baptized and christened ESPERANZA.
Deeply religious, the people adapted the name which they believe would bring peace, unity, and
progress to the inhabitants of the place.
Sometime in 1952, a group of Christian settlers established a settlement in Villamor, Dulawan,

Cotabato now known as barangay Villamor, Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat, amidst the vast wilderness. At
that time, Esperanza was only a purok or sitio of barangay Villamor.
In 1953, purok leader Silverio Africa of Purok Esperanza, initiated and requested a government
survey for the proposed Barrio Site of Esperanza with the expressed approval of Datu Into Saliao. The
survey was officially known and identified as TS-310.
Among the original leaders were Rosalino Dar, Sr., Silverio Africa, Ex-Vice Mayor Castor
Villanueva, Silverio Bromeo and many other elders who planned for the expansion of the barrio. They
requested Datu Into Saliao to donate a proposed town site and as a result TS-310 materialized.
When Cotabato City - General Santos City National Highway was constructed, Esperanza became
an independent barrio of Dulawan (now Datu Piang), Cotabato with Silverio Africa as the first barrio
Lieutenant or “Delegado”.
In 1956, Datu Into Saliao, a prominent Datu of the place distributed land to the people, either by
lease, share system, and even donation to those close to him. By this philanthropic benevolence, people
from all walks of life flocked to the barrio.
Esperanza and other neighboring barrios flourished. Business has improved and upon written
petition of the residents, the municipality of Ampatuan was finally created by Virtue of R.A. No. 2509,
which was enacted and approved into law without executive approval on June 21, 1959.
The new municipality of Ampatuan, Cotabato was inaugurated on August 8, 1959 with Datu
Abdullah Sangki as the first Municipal Mayor of the infant municipality. Harmonious coexistence among
the Christian settlers and Muslim residents prevailed for almost two decades. However, time and
events change when tribal atrocities erupted in June 1971 causing both Muslim and Christian residents
to evacuate to safer places.
In the election of November 9, 1971, there was no Muslim candidate. The elected municipal
officials of Ampatuan, Cotabato were all Christians, who held office at Esperanza, Ampatuan, Cotabato.
ANNEX IV 236
On November 22,1973, the then Excellency President Ferdinand E. Marcos, issued Presidential
Decree No. 339, creating Esperanza into a municipality, with the incumbent municipal officials of the
Mother Municipality, Ampatuan, as the first appointed officials (Mayor Esperidion Limson and Vice
Mayor Castor Villanueva).

ANNEX IV 237
MUNICIPALITY OF ISULAN
Brief History
The present territories of Isulan formerly belonged to the municipalities of Koronadal and
Dulawan. The municipality of Koronadal was created under E.O. No. 82 dated August 8, 1947 by Pres.
Manuel L. Roxas
0n March 10, 1953, the municipality of Norala, Cotabato was created by virtue of E.O.NO.572,
whose territorial jurisdiction was taken from the municipality of Koronadal.
Datu Kudanding Camsa in the latter part of 1956 initiated the creation of another municipality to
be taken from the Municipality of Norala, Cotabato.
On March 20, 1957, Engr. Jose M. Ancheta of the Bureau of Public Highways of Cotabato made
its first endorsement to the provincial board and laid down the proposed boundaries of the new
municipality.
Acting on this report, the provincial board of Cotabato thru Resolution No. 316 series of 1957,
petitioned the President of the Philippines to create the proposed municipality.
Executive Order No. 266, pursuant to section 68 of the Administrative Code, issued and signed
by the then President Carlos P. Garcia on August 30, 1957, creating the municipality of Isulan, whose
territorial jurisdiction was taken from the municipality of Norala, Cotabato and Dulawan, Cotabato (Now
Datu Piang, Maguindanao).
With the creation of the municipality of Isulan, Kalawag became the seat of its government. The
municipal government officially functioned on September 12, 1957 with the appointment of its
municipal mayor Datu Suma Ampatuan who served until 1967.
THE KALAWAG SETTLEMENT
In 1951, the Board of Directors of the Land Settlement and Development Cooperation
(LASEDECO) started the opening of a settlement in an area formerly under the jurisdiction of the
National Land Settlement Association (NLSA) as a reservation.
The LASEDECO had surveyed and parceled out home and farmlots and constructed municipal
and barrio roads and installed electrical light generators. It had brought-in hundreds of farm tractors
which uprooted big trees, cleared obstruction, planned, cleaned and harrowed the wide stretches of the
area. What was once a marshy and wild expanse inhabited by snakes, crocodiles, wild cattle, swine, and
deer had welcomed the first sprout of seedlings of corn and rice, thus blanketed the horizon in endless
green.
When a group of 72 World War II Veterans, led by Venancio Magbanua, Post Commander of
Norala had come and settled in the area, on September 7, 1950, a Kalawag root crop used as food
coloring was found out abundantly growing.
ANNEX IV 238
Then, the early settlers decided to call and register the settlement as “Kalawag Settlement
District of LASEDECO”. The area comprising the townsite covers approximately 400 hectares.
Immigrants from Visayas and Luzon had now come in shiploads. The most numerous batch was
the “PACSA” group headed by Pedro Gabriel and Bienvenido Pamintuan otherwise known as the
“Presidential Assistance Commission on Social Amelioration of the President Ramon Magsaysay. His
group consisted of the erstwhile and rebellious surrenderees belonging to HUKBALAHAPs from
Pampanga.
Naming the town
The Christian settlers would have preferred to decide the name of their new town by
referendum. However, Datu Kudanding Camsa, both revered and feared had decided it by himself.
Datu Kudanding had reacted to history of local battles way back in the early 19th century when a
sultanate in the adjacent town of Maganoy under Sultan Utto with a vast army decided to attack a small
municipality located in the area now encompassed by the new entity under the leadership of Sultan
Mofac. Outnumbered with the ratio of 20:1, Mofac on a white horse decided to do battle with his men
notwithstanding the odds.
The battle cry of Mofac was the uttering of the word, “ISU-SILAN” which means “They are there,
advance”. This intrepid, although suicidal show of force and determination , so impressed by UTTO, that
in order to save lives on both sides, he decided to resolve the issue by negotiation, thus placing Mofac
and his principality under his protectorate of Utto, Isulan municipality derived its name from “ISU-SILAN
“ which means “Progress”.
On June 21, 1969, President Marcos, signed R.A. No. 5960, creating the municipality of
Bagumbayan which cost Isulan more than 85% of its original land area. But of the original land area of

MUNICIPALITY OF LAMBAYONG
Brief History
The present site of Poblacion, Lambayong was formerly called Sitio Torre, being located at an
elevated place (upland under the municipality of Dulawan, Cotabato (now Datu Piang, Maguindanao).
Before the coming of Christian settlers, the place was ruled by several Muslim leaders, the northern
portion was ruled by the former Hadji Pasawilan, the southern portion was ruled by Hadji Galay.
During the Spanish regime, the Spaniards constructed a Watch Tower or guard out post
against the natives. The said watch tower was constructed in Barangay Torre, so the natives called the
place Torre.
The place was an agricultural community noted for palay, corn and other agricultural crops,
which encouraged/enhanced the immigration of farmers from the Visayas and Luzon to settle in said
place. There was a time when a certain ornamental plant grew abundantly in the area where the
existing Municipal Building stands today, which the native called “Lambayong” because of its violet
flowers, (“Lambayong” is a Maguindanao word, a color which is violet in English) so that the people of
the place renamed the community Torre to Lambayong. Another factor that encouraged the Christians
to settle in said place was the construction of the Alunan Road traversing the community from
Cotabato City to General Santos City. Since that time, the said place became thickly populated and it
was in the year 1952, October 9, when the place became a municipality by virtue of the Executive
Order No. 543 signed by the late President Elpidio Quirino. This was made possible upon a petition for
the emancipation of “Lambayong” into a regular town, lead by the First Municipal Mayor Jose L.
Guerero and upon the recommendation of the Provincial Board headed by Governor Duma Sinsuat. It
was this time when the community was separated from the municipality of Dulawan, Cotabato.
Seven years later in the year 1959, the municipality’s name was changed to Sultan Sa
Barongis, Cotabato by virtue of the R.A. No. 2589 in honor of the late Sultan Sa Barongis, the
forefather of the Pendatun family.
The name of the municipality was again changed to Mariano Marcos under the Province of
Sultan Kudarat by virtue of PD No. 339 issued on April 29, 1974 by the late President Ferdinand E.
Marcos.
In August 1988 the name of the municipality again was changed to Lambayong, Sultan Kudarat
under R.A.No. 6676 issued by then President of the Philippines, Madame Corazon C. Aquino.
The municipality of Lambayong is located on the northern direction of the capital town of the
province, some 25 kilometers away. It is bounded in the north by the municipality of Sultan Sa
Barongis, Maguindanao; in the South by municipality of Tacurong and Isulan, Sultan Kudarat; in the
east by the municipality of Buluan, Maguindanao; in the west by the municipality of Esperanza, Sultan
Kudarat and Ampatuan, Maguindanao. It is composed of 26 barangays with a total land area of

ANNEX IV 241
MUNICIPALITY OF LEBAK
Brief History
The municipality of Lebak lies in the northern most part of the coastal area of Sultan Kudarat.
It is bordered in the north by South Upi, Maguindanao; in the south by Kalamansig; in the west by
Celebes Sea; in the east by Esperanza and Isulan, Sultan Kudarat.
Lebak came into existence by virtue of Executive Order No. 82 dated August 18, 1947,
Executive Order No. 432 dated April 12, 1951, transferring the seat of government of Lebak from
Kalamansig to Salaman, Lebak.
Before its creation, Lebak was under two municipal districts. The municipal district of Lebak
under the Municipality of Kiamba, Cotabato (now Kiamba, Saranggani) and the districts of Salaman
under the Municipality of Dinaig, Cotabato (Now Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao).
“Lebak” is a Muslim word meaning HOLLOW because in the eastern part of Lebak is a
mountain and in the western part is the Celebes Sea thus the hollow portion is between a mountain
and the sea.
The hinterlands of the municipality were first populated by the aboriginal Manobos while the
coastal area of now Tran and Datu Karon was occupied by the Muslims of the Maguindanao Tribe.
Just after World War II, there was an influx of settlers from Visayas and Luzon. But long
before this, Lebak area was already inhabited not only by the Muslims and other natives of Mindanao
but also by the Mestizo Americans who owned and managed a coconut plantation somewhere in
Barurao and Tipudos.
Mixtures of these tribes within the area created chaos among the inhabitants. There was the
Tiruray rampage in 1970 and a Muslim rebellion in 1973.
In August 1976, a killer quake rocked the place which resulted to a “tsunami” and swept
almost all houses in Barangay Tibpuan. Amidst the disaster, the people rose to the challenge of
reconstructing the municipality through unity, cooperation and hard work. These qualities helped the
municipality grow in terms of economy making Lebak what it is today.
Lebak municipality is composed of 27 barangays. Although the Ilonggo tribe is dominant in

number, almost all the ethnic tribes of the country are represented.
Lebak can be reached through a 30 minute flight via CotabatoCity. Recent improvements in
the road connecting Lebak to Isulan has allowed public utility jeepneys and cargo trucks to ply the
route. From Isulan a passenger jeep world travel five hours to reach Lebak.
ANNEX IV 242
MUNICIPALITY OF LUTAYAN
Brief History
Lutayan, before it became a town, was a secluded barrio of Buluan, Cotabato, located in the
southern part of Koronadal, Cotabato (now Koronadal, South Cotabato). This community had been
progressive before the Second World War. It had been very popular because of its markets which
became a distributing center of businessmen coming from the Provincial Capitol of Cotabato and
Dadiangas and even from the different towns of the Province of Cotabato.
The residents of the community who were practically all Muslim enjoyed their living abundant
life, since the place was vast fertile land very much suited to agricultural crops. The Muslim leaders
during that time were conscious of their cultural and educational development. It was then that a
Christian who lived with them and popularly known to them or Maestro Paja, became first teacher in
the municipality.
Just after the war, Christian settlers coming from Luzon and the Visayan islands found Lutayan
a better place to live with their brother Muslims. These people joined efforts in making the place
productive and progressive. Muslims and Christian leaders who became municipal councilors of
Buluan worked hard for the emancipation of Lutayan. Their efforts was finally answered with the
enactment of R.A. No. 4864, creating the municipality of Lutayan on May 8, 1967, composed of the
barrios of Antong, Bayasong, Sisiman and Lutayan Proper.
By January 1, 1968, the local government functioned with elected lady mayor Bai Salilang
Mangelen, as the first mayor when she won over her three male candidate opponents during the 1967
local election. With the good leadership of the lady mayor, the infant municipality grew progressively
year by year.
The municipality of Lutayan is blessed with a vast area of productive agricultural lands. A part
of Buluan Lake which is now a territorial property of Lutayan has given the people a good source of
livelihood. Fishes from the lake like Tilapia, Carps, Bangus and etc. are sold to Koronadal City, South
Cotabato and other neighboring municipalities and cities, thus making it economically stable and self-
reliant.
In the east, Lutayan is bounded by the mountain range which separated the municipality of
Lutayan from Columbio and from the base of the mountain the plain extended westward along the
boundary line of Koronadal and Tantangan, South Cotabato and President Quirino, Sultan Kudarat; in
the northern part is the Buluan Lake and in the southern part is Koronadal, South Cotabato.
On November 22, 1973, when the empire province of Cotabato was divided into three (3)
provinces; Lutayan, became one of the 11 original municipalities which comprised the province of
Sultan Kudarat.
ANNEX IV 243
MUNICIPALITY OF PALIMBANG
Brief History
Before the coming of Shariff Kabunsuan in Mindanao, Palimbang was not yet known as part of
the geographical map of the island. When Islam spread in the coastal area of Biwang, there was a
tremendous change in the community due to the Islamic introduction. As they embraced the
teachings of Islam, the inhabitants slowly change their traditions, beliefs and culture.
Palimbang at that time was locally known as PULA which refers to a tree being grown
abundantly in the bank of Pula River. It was changed to Palimbang when fishermen from Indonesia
accidentally docked at the Philippine shore because of bad weather and dropped at the place while
fishing. The natives headed by late Sendale Tambuto met the foreigners and they learned that the
new comers came from Palembang, Indonesia. That visit became an inspiration to the natives and so
they adopted the name Palimbang as their official name of their place. That’s how Palimbang got its
name.
The municipality of Palimbang is located on the southwestern portion of the province. The
following are the boundaries: North - Municipality of Kalamansig; northeast - Municipality of Sen.
Ninoy Aquino; east - Municipalities of Maitum and Kiamba of Sarangani; Lake Sebu, South Cotabato

been the desire of the local leaders and the people of these barangays to be separated as a district
and independent municipality.
This desire came into reality when on November 22, 1973, with the proclamation of P.D. No.
339, these barangays were separated and the municipality was created. It was named in honor of the
great Ilocano, Elpidio Quirino, second President of the Third Philippine Republic. Two more barangays

ANNEX IV 245
MUNICIPALITY OF SEN. NINOY AQUINO
Brief History
Before the advent of Christian settlers, Senator Ninoy Aquino (formerly Kulaman) was one of the
mountainous areas that belonged to the territorial control of the municipality of Kalamansig. The place
was inhabited by an ethnic group known as Manobo.
The name Kulaman is derived from the famous Sultan of the Valley during the seventeenth
century. According to a legend, there was a time when famine came to the place and the Sultan who
was a loving father to his family gathered “kayos”, a native food that substitutes cereals, for their
consumption. The Sultan washed the kayos in the center of the river called Matiao. While he washed
the kayos a swift current suddenly rushed and the Sultan was carried away by the current and was
drowned. His body was later recovered two kilometers downriver from the place where he washed
the kayos.
The natives then preserved the Sultans’ for seven years and transferred him to a burial to the
burial jar and kept in a cave for the next century. After the Sultan was buried in the burial jar, a new
Sultan was crowned to rule the place. This was their culture during that time.
The river Matiao from that time was renamed Kulaman, in memory of the drowned Sultan.
From the death of Sultan Kulaman, the following were his successors: Sultan Jani, Sultan Ugis, Sultan
Tilok, Sultan Kalolong and Sultan Dakias.
Sultan Tagenek Dakias was the first ethnic tribe (Manobo) elected as a Sangguniang Bayan
member when Municipality of Kulaman was created.
On September 12, 1972, Kulaman became a barangay of the Municipality of Kalamansig and a
mother barangay of Buenaflores, Bugso, Kadi, Malegdeg, Kiadsam and Sewod.
It was under Republic Act 6712 that Kulaman was created as a municipality on July 11, 1989
and was renamed Senator Ninoy Aquino, separating it from its mother municipality of Kalamansig.
Two thirds of the area of the new barangay came from Kalamansig while one thirds is from
Bagumbayan.
The first appointed and elected Mayor was Gelacio Defuntorum. At present the municipality
has 20 existing barangays. The Poblacion retained the name Kulaman, while the municipality was
named Senator Ninoy Aquino in honor of Senator Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. who at that time became the
modern hero of Filipinos when he became an instrument for the downfall of a dictatorial government.
