Matalam, Municipality in Cotabato, Philippines.
The municipality extends across 47,600 hectares of land in North Cotabato, positioned along the Cotabato-Davao National Highway within the Arakan Valley.
Executive Order 461, signed by President Carlos P. Garcia in 1961, established Matalam as the 32nd municipality of Cotabato Province from the former Crossing M'lang.
The population includes Ilonggo, Ilocano, Maguindanaon, and Cebuano ethnic groups, with the Sallah-Mat Festival celebrating both Ilocano and Muslim traditions on December 29.
The municipality contains 34 barangays, maintains regular rainfall throughout the year, and generates income through rice, corn, and copra production.
