Tangub, officially the City of Tangub (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Tangub; Filipino: Lungsod ng Tangub), is a 4th class component city in the provinceofMisamis Occidental, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 68,389 people.[3]
Tangub City is also where the Panguil Bay Bridge is situated. Once completed, the 3.77 km (2.34 mi) bridge will connect Tangub, Misamis OccidentaltoTubod, Lanao del Norte.
The city of Tangub grew from a small town. The city's name came from the Subanen word "Tangkub", which is a rice container made of tree bark woven together by rattan strips. There are several stories regarding how Tangub got its name. One version tells about a Spanish soldier on patrol in the area who found a dead man whom the Subanens described as bitten by a snake inside the “tangkub” when he checked if there was still rice in the container. Not understanding the dialect, the soldiers reported that there was a dead man from “tangkub” and the name stuck, which later on was changed to Tangub. Another version is about Spanish soldiers who got lost and encountered a Subanen couple. When asked about the location, the couple, thinking they were asked about the containers they were carrying, replied with "tangkub".[5]
Trade and commerce emerged when many agricultural products were harvested, and the Subanens bartered their land for goods brought in by other Christian settlers from Luzon and Visayas. Years after, Chinese merchants settled in this place and helped to hasten the transportation of the settlements into a civilized communities. Tangub became successful during the years 1898–1910. With the growing community, a group of community leaders led a movement for the town to be an independent municipality, calling themselves the "Aspiracion Committee".
On December 4, 1929, Tangub became a municipality by virtue of an executive order by American Governor-General Dwight Davis, and was renamed Regidor, in honor of Dr. Antonio Maria Regidor, a lawyer and diplomat who supported the Secularization movement during the Spanish regime. In this process, Regidor was separated from its mother municipality of Misamis, now Ozamiz City. The new municipality of Regidor then included all the barrios of the present municipality of Bonifacio, formerly known as Digson. The name of the municipality was reverted to Tangub by virtue of Act No. 3701 on November 20, 1930.
On June 17, 1967, under Republic Act No. 5131, Tangub became a chartered city.
Tangub is close to Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga del Norte provinces, while across the bay is Lanao del Norte. Tangub is 77.1 km (77,100 mi) from Maria Cristina Falls, the main source of hydroelectric power in Mindanao.
Tangub is politically subdivided into 55 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks while some have sitios.
