Iriga

Located at an elevation of 129 meters above sea level, Iriga extends across 137 square kilometers of terrain in the Bicol Region of Luzon.

The Franciscan friars discovered this land and named it Iraga in the 17th century, which later transformed into Iriga under Spanish colonial administration.

The city population of 114,457 residents primarily speaks the Rinconada dialect and maintains strong connections to traditional Filipino celebrations throughout the year.

The central location of Iriga within Camarines Sur provides convenient access to neighboring towns like Nabua, Baao, and Bato within 12 kilometers distance.

Mount Iriga rises prominently near Lake Buhi, where fishermen harvest the smallest commercial fish species in the world.
