Barangays of Malaybalay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Political map of Malaybalay showing its barangays

Malaybalay, the capital of Bukidnon, is subdivided into 46 barangays. The Philippine Standard Geographic Code classifies 15 barangays as urban and 31 rural;[1] however, the City of Malaybalay classifies 18 barangays as urban and 28 rural. These barangays are grouped into five administrative districts, namely Basakan, North Highway, Poblacion, South Highway, and Upper Pulangi.

Defunct Barangays

[edit]

Defunct barangays are those historically integrated as a regular barrio of Malaybalay but was later dissolved to form part of another barangay or were merged to form a new barangay. This has been the case of Barangay Poblacion where it was dissolved to form twenty new barangays and then reorganized to form the current eleven barangays of the Poblacion District. In 1972, then Mayor Timoteo Ocaya implemented the subdivision of Barangay Poblacion, including Impalambong, by virtue of Presidential Decrees no. 86,[4] 86A,[5] and 210.[6] This created twenty new barangays from Poblacion, based on the purok system, where purok leaders were appointed as provisional Barangay Chairmen.[7] The system proved to be cumbersome and unwieldy which led to the Municipal Council of Malaybalay to pass Ordinance No. 87 in 1974, downsizing the number of barangays to eleven. New borders were drawn such that some of the barangays are merged, parceled out to other barangays, or split. Impalambong, a sitio of Poblacion, was split into Barangay 18, Barangay 19, and Barangay 20 in 1972. By 1974, the new ordinance redesignated Barangay 18 as Barangay 10[8] and merged Barangay 19 and Barangay 20 to form Barangay 11.[9] In the town proper, Barangay 1 and Barangay 6 were merged to form Barangay 1;[7] Barangay 13, Barangay 14, and Barangay 17 were merged to form Barangay 7;[10] Barangay 15 was dismembered to form parts of the present-day Barangay 6 and Barangay 8.[11] The current designation (i.e. number) of barangays of Poblacion District was not necessarily designated as the number it was originally assigned in 1972. Furthermore, the dissolution of Barangay Poblacion in 1972 and its subsequent reorganization in 1974 led to the creation of the Administrative District of Poblacion when Malaybalay was converted into a city in 1998.

Former Barangays

[edit]

Malaybalay used to be larger and comprised roughly the area of the present-day Second Congressional District of Bukidnon except for Impasug-ong and the southern half of San Fernando. Throughout the 1950s to the 1970s, some of the far-flung, populated barrios of Malaybalay were separated from it to form part of a new municipality. These barangays now form part of the municipalities of San Fernando (1959), Valencia (1961), Lantapan (1968), and Cabanglasan (1979). The chart below lists the barrios formerly part of Malaybalay but are now part of other local government units.

Sitios

[edit]

Sitios are territorial enclaves in a barangay that may be organized and incorporated and functions in similar capacity as a purok. However, they are not local government units. With its large number of barangays and a large area, Malaybalay has numerous sitios—some of which are highly organized and have functional quasi-governmental bodies. Most sitios sprung in the 1980s as a result of logging activities and the subsequent migration of natives from the barangay centers to the hinterlands. In the 1990s and well into the 21st century, some sitios experienced depopulation, including some becoming uninhabited (as in the case of Sitios Talahidan and Sambukan of Barangay Caburacanan).
