Makilala, Municipality in Cotabato Province, Philippines.
Makilala extends across 343 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 268 meters, bordered by Mount Apo National Park in southeastern Cotabato Province.
The municipality gained its independence from Kidapawan on September 8, 1954, through Executive Order No. 63 issued by President Ramon Magsaysay.
The name originated from three early barangays - Malasila, Kisante, and Lamitan - with an additional syllable that connects to Hiligaynon language meanings.
Agricultural production drives the local economy through rubber processing facilities, rice cultivation, and extensive banana plantations managed by STANFILCO-DOLE corporation.
New Israel district contains Asia's longest zip-line and offers opportunities for wildlife encounters within the Mount Apo National Park boundaries.
