Hinigaran, Municipality in Negros Occidental, Philippines
Hinigaran extends across multiple barangays with local government offices coordinating services and development programs for its population of 88,909 residents.
The establishment of Hinigaran in 1768 marked a significant period when families from Panay, including the Mongcals, Lagtapons, and Curios, settled in the area.
The municipality maintains two annual celebrations: the Hinugyaw Festival on April 30 and the Kampana Festival on July 22, honoring Saint Mary Magdalene.
The local educational system includes 27 elementary schools, 7 secondary institutions, and a branch of Central Philippine State University serving the community.
Local residents produce Capiz shells and operate pyrotechnic manufacturing facilities, earning the municipality recognition as the Oyster and Pyrotechnics Capital.
