Surigao del Norte, Province in northeastern Mindanao, Philippines
Surigao del Norte encompasses two main islands, Siargao and Bucas Grande, along with numerous smaller islands and a portion of mainland Mindanao.
The province emerged as an independent administrative region in 1960 when the original Surigao province split into two separate territories: Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur.
The indigenous Mamanwa people maintain their traditions through ceremonial dances performed during the annual Bonok-Bonok Festival in Surigao City.
Transportation between municipalities relies on jeepneys and tricycles, while ferries connect the province to Southern Leyte across the Surigao Strait.
The province contains 335 barangays distributed across 20 municipalities and one city, with Lake Mainit forming a natural boundary on its western border.
