Pinamungajan, officially theMunicipality of Pinamungajan (Cebuano:Lungsod sa Pinamungajan;Tagalog:Bayan ng Pinamungajan), is amunicipality in theprovince ofCebu,Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 76,568 people.[5]
The town patroness isSaint Monica, mother of one of the fathers and doctors of the Catholic Church,Saint Augustine of Hippo.[6] However, instead of August 27, Pinamungajan celebrates the memorial of the saint on May 4.[7] In 2008, in response to the call of then-governorGwendolyn Garcia for each Cebu town and city to hold a festival as part of local culture and heritage, Pinamungajan began the Pinamuohan Festival in honor of Saint Monica on her memorial.
The municipality, also known asPinamungahan, was established in the 1815 under the Spanish colonial government in the country. The municipality got its name from the diligent and hardworking people, working hand-in-hand especially during the agricultural harvest season – "Pinamungajan", which originated from theVisayan wordpinamuhuan, meant a worker share for his effort during a farm harvest. Over time the Pinamuhuan eventually changed to the current name of the municipality.
Pinamungajan is bordered to the north by the City ofToledo, to the west is theTañon Strait, to the east is the city ofNaga and the town ofSan Fernando, and to the south is the town ofAloguinsan. It is 82 kilometres (51 mi) fromCebu City.
Pinamungajan is politically subdivided into 26 barangays. Each barangay consists ofpuroks and some havesitios.
