The lush, green province of Bukidnon is one example of why Mindanao was touted as the ‘land of promise’. Living amid such bounty does not have to be prohibitive, as the cost of housing is relatively affordable. Some of our available homes in Bukidnon go for around less than Php3.3 million. For this price one can have a detached bungalow type dwelling with ample surrounding space for gardening and further development. Most of these units are bare or semi-furnished, allowing owners free rein in setting up residence. The detached house arrangement is excellent for young and enterprising families anticipating future expansions on their home, families fond of outdoor hobbies, or simply those seeking a bit of distance and solitude away from overcrowded residential areas.
Our available houses are situated in the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia. These convenient locations ensure easy access to basic utilities, transportation, and government offices. Both of these cities are in the central part of Bukidnon, making access to different parts of the province much easier. Malaybalay has the most number of schools in the province, with 81 basic education schools and 4 tertiary institutions. Cafes and bistros are also found in this small city.
On the other hand, the City of Valencia, which was once part of Malaybalay City, boasts of natural wonders such as Lake Apo as well as the Malingon Falls and Sagumata Falls. Valencia has more tertiary institutions but fewer primary, elementary, and secondary schools. Up to 4 malls and commercial complexes are located in Valencia.
Both Malaybalay and Valencia can be accessed via buses or private vehicles from either Cagayan de Oro City in the northern province of Misamis Oriental, or Davao City in the south.
Much of Bukidnon is situated on a large plateau, granting it a climate that has made it ideal for agriculture. A network of 6 river systems ensures ample irrigation for the land. The Pulangi river is the longest and most economically important of these. The northern portion of the province is dominated by the Kitanglad Mountain Range, which contains Mount Dulang-Dulang, the second highest mountain in the country.
Up to seven indigenous or lumad tribes originally settled in this very fertile land, before settlers from other parts of the Philippines also began setting up farms and businesses in the area. Today much of Bukidnon’s population originates from the Visayas, with Cebuano and English being widely spoken in the province. There remains a significant lumad population in Bukidnon, with communities firmly rooted in their ancestral lands scattered throughout the province.
Bukidnon is presently divided into 4 legislative districts encompassing 464 barangays. The area has 20 municipalities in addition to the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia. Neighboring provinces include Misamis Oriental to the north, Davao and North Cotabato in the south, Agusan del Sur and Davao del Norte to the east, and Lanao del Sur in the west.
Since Bukidnon is a landlocked province, no seaport exists in the vicinity. The nearest commercial airport is in Cagayan de Oro City, north of Bukidnon. A system of buses and mini-vans provide transportation within and outside the province.
A number of agricultural and food manufacturing giants such as Del Monte Philippines Inc, San Miguel Foods Corp, and Dole Philippines, have been vastly successful in boosting the production and economy of Bukidnon. In particular, Bukidnon is the second-largest producer of corn in the entire Philippines. Other agri-businesses such as handicrafts and rubber production have also begun to flourish in this province. Many of these products are made available in the domestic market or exported to Japan and other neighboring countries.
Bukidnon also has a tourism industry centered around its rivers, lakes, and springs. One notable tourist spot is Napalit Lake, located in the municipality of Pangantucan. The town of Maluko has impressive canyons, one of which has been dubbed “The Grand Canyon of the Philippines.”
