Bayugan

Bayugan is a component city in the province of Agusan del Sur in the Caraga region of Mindanao in the Philippines, officially the City of Bayugan. It gained cityhood through Republic Act No. 9405 and is the only city in Agusan del Sur and also its most populous, with 110,313 residents in the 2024 census against 109,499 in 2020. The city covers about 689 square kilometres in the northern part of the province. Bayugan calls itself the cut-flower capital of Agusan del Sur because the cool climate of its highland barangays suits a lucrative cut-flower industry. It is also one of the major producers of rice and vegetables in the province, supplying neighbouring municipalities and provinces, and its Cebuano name is Dakbayan sa Bayugan.
