Cotabato, Administrative region in Mindanao, Philippines
The province spans 9,008 square kilometers of terrain, encompassing highlands near Mount Apo and fertile valleys along the Pulangi River system.
The district of Cotabato formed in 1860 under Spanish rule, covering military territories that now belong to Cotabato, Maguindanao, and Sultan Kudarat provinces.
The name derives from Maguindanao words 'Kuta Wato', meaning Stone Fort, reflecting the military heritage of this historically Muslim-influenced region.
The province maintains its position as a major agricultural center in Mindanao, producing substantial quantities of cereals, tropical fruits, and rubber products.
According to Manobo creation narratives, the land between Kulaman and Pulangi Rivers represents pinamua, the primordial soil where earth life began.
