Pagadian, Component city in Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines
Pagadian spreads across steep rolling terrain at 187 meters elevation, with its boundaries stretching from sea level to heights of 1,402 meters in Mindanao.
The settlement emerged as a trading post between Zamboanga and northern towns, gaining municipality status in 1937 and becoming a city in 1969.
The Pasalamat Festival and Megayon Festival bring together Subanen, BangsaMoro Muslims, and Christian communities to celebrate their traditions through performances and ceremonies.
