Tabuk, Provincial capital in Kalinga, Philippines
Tabuk occupies 700 square kilometers of land within the eastern section of the Cordillera Mountain Range, featuring rolling hills and flowing rivers across its territory.
The area was formerly called Valley of Gamonangs, named after the Kalinga tribe that maintained independence from external control throughout past centuries.
The population of 121,033 residents spreads across 43 barangays, where local communities maintain traditional practices while participating in modern governance structures.
The agricultural sector forms the economic foundation of Tabuk, with the Chico River Irrigation System supporting extensive rice production throughout the region.
The name Tabuk originates from Tobog, referring to a natural water stream that flows from Sitio Paligatto in Barangay Balawag toward the Chico River.
