Pangantucan, officially the Municipality of Pangantucan (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Pangantucan; Tagalog: Bayan ng Pangantucan), is a municipality in the province of Bukidnon, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 56,580 people.[4]

History

The indigenous groups of Pangantucan are various Talaandig and Manobo tribes.[6][7] It has also been settled by Dumagat (Visayans) in recent times.[6]

The name “Pangantucan” means wisdom and strength in the Manobo languages and is said to refer to a white stallion that uprooted a bamboo stalk to warn his master, a tribal datu, of approaching raiders from other tribes.

Pangantucan was previously a barrio of Maramag. It was merged in 1931 with Adtuyon, Dominorog, Panalagsagan, Kalilangan and Barandias to form a separate municipal district. It was granted Municipal status in 1961.[8]
