Gingoog (Binukid pronunciation:['hiŋuʔog]HEE-ngu-og), officially theCity of Gingoog (Cebuano:Dakbayan sa Hingoog;Filipino:Lungsod ng Gingoog), is acomponent city in theprovince ofMisamis Oriental,Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 136,698 people.[3]
Like other municipalities in the Philippines that retainedSpanish-based orthography, the city name is spelled asGingoog but is pronounced as['hiŋuʔog] orHEE-ngu-og since it originated as aBinukid word.
The term Gingoog originally came from the word "Hingoog", which means "Goodluck", from aLumad tribe ofManobo who settled in the area.[5] The word implies good fortune, thus Gingoog means the "City of Good Luck". The natives of this place are the ones with the family names of "Gingco", and "Gingoyon".
Gingoog was founded as a mission bySpanish missionaries in 1750. It was one of the oldest localities inMisamis Oriental Province, older than the province's capital and economic hub,Cagayan de Oro which was founded in 1871.
The territory of then-independent Gingoog was made part ofTalisayan for a while, since the passage ofAct No. 951, issued by thePhilippine Commission on October 21, 1903, which reduced the number of municipalities inthe then-undivided Misamis province from 24 to 10,[6] until becoming the first former municipality to be reconstituted thereafter throughAct No. 1618, enacted on March 20, 1907 and took effect on August 10.[7]
During the early 20th century, with its abundant natural resources, Gingoog slowly continued to edge forward their economic progress, attracting migrants fromLuzon andVisayas to settle in the area as their new home. After the World War II, the fast and vast production output of agriculture (specifically coconut & coffee) and logging industry created a momentum of progress that led to the initiation of Gingoog’s early independence from the Province of Misamis Oriental.
In 1957, the sitio of Binuangan was converted into a barrio known as Talisay.[8]
Gingoog was turned into a city via Republic Act No. 2668 signed by PresidentCarlos P. Garcia circa June 18, 1960.[9]
On October 19, 1978, Miguel Paderanga ofMahinog, Misamis Oriental (now part ofCamiguin) was appointed by presidentFerdinand Marcos as the new mayor of Gingoog City.[10]
Gingoog is located in the Province ofMisamis Oriental in theNorthern Mindanao Region onMindanao island. The city is approximately 122 kilometres (76 mi) east ofCagayan de Oro and 74 kilometres (46 mi) west ofButuan. It is bounded on the east by the Municipality ofMagsaysay; on the west by the Municipality ofMedina; on the south by the Municipality ofClaveria; and on the north by Gingoog Bay. Its total land area is 56,844 hectares (140,460 acres).
Gingoog is politically subdivided into 79barangays. Each barangay consists ofpuroks while some havesitios.
In 1957, the sitio of Malibod was converted into a barrio.[11]
