BUKIDNON: A PROVINCE FULL OF PROMISE, A PROVINCE FULL OF POTENTIAL

Nestled among the territories of Mindanao, is a landlocked area whose name is derived from the local name for highlander or a mountain dweller – Bukidnon. It houses the country’s second-highest point – Mount Dulang-dulang which rises to an elevation of 2938 meters above sea level. Also worth mentioning is that the province also has the Kitanglad Mountain Range which includes Mount Kalatungan, with an elevation of 2860 meters, Mount Kitanglad with its 2899-meter height, Mount Maagnaw with its 2742-meter elevation and Mount Tuminungan with a recorded elevation of 2400 meters.

Rich biodiversity is evident among these mountains which adds to the allure for nature lovers. Hiking through these mountains would prove to be an excellent adventure for nature lovers because its paths may also provide some kind of challenge even for the most experienced hikers. Still, the effort would be worth it because hikers would be treated not only with breathtaking views but also with crisp and fresh mountain air that revitalizes the senses.

While it is landlocked, it does have a reputation as the watershed of the area with Bukidnon being endowed with six major river systems which feed its many fields of bounty. These rivers: the Pulangi, the Cagayan, the Tagoloan, the Muleta, the Manupali, and the Bobonawan are great forces of nature as they are among the many reasons why the province is replete with canyons.

The longest river in the province, the Pulangi River, is basically a tributary of the Rio Grande de Mindanao, one of the important water systems in the whole country and makes its way into several municipalities of the province. The other rivers also run through several municipalities and are among the important resources where these places are founded on. The teeming resources provided by these rivers add to the bounty of the land to make the province truly special.

The place holds much promise. It still holds a lot of Bukidnon Tourist Spot to be discovered, a lot of things to be re-discovered, a lot of things to be encountered and experienced to make a visit worthwhile. The potential is unlimited, the challenge of putting together the opportunities enormous, but the resiliency and the strength of native Bukidnons would surely come to fore.
