Malaybalay

Malaybalay, officially the City of Malaybalay, (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Malaybalay; Filipino: Lungsod ng Malaybalay), or simply referred to as Malaybalay City, is a 1st class city and capital of the province of Bukidnon, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 174,625 people.^[3]

The city, dubbed as the "South Summer Capital of the Philippines", is bordered north by Impasugong; west by Lantapan; south by Valencia City and San Fernando; and east by Cabanglasan and Agusan del Sur.

It was formerly part of the province of Misamis Oriental as a municipal district in the late 19th century. When the special province of Agusan (now Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur) and its sub-province (Bukidnon) were created in 1907, Malaybalay was designated as the capital of Bukidnon. It was then formally established as a municipality on October 19, 1907 and was created into a city on February 11, 1998 by virtue of Republic Act 8490.^[4]

Malaybalay City is the venue of the Kaamulan Festival, held annually from mid-February to March 10.^[5]
