History

An act of violence or demon-like act, characterized by killing men and raping female family members of opposing political rivals.

Buluan used to comprise a vast area surrounding Lake Buluan when it was created as one of the municipalities of Cotabato on August 8, 1947 by Executive Order No. 82 of Pres. Manuel Roxas.[2] On August 3, 1951, the municipality of Tacurong was created out of its southwestern portion.[3] In 1961, its southeastern portion was separated to form the municipality of Columbio,[4] six years later its southern portion was made into the municipality of Lutayan.[5] It was made part of the province of Maguindanao on November 22, 1973,[6] at the same time ceding its western coast of Lake Buluan to create the municipality of President Quirino,[7] which was made part of Sultan Kudarat province. Its northern portion was made into the municipality of Gen. S. K. Pendatun on April 7, 1991.[8] Its area was further divided on December 30, 2006, when two more municipalities were created out of its territory namely: Mangudadatu and Pandag, losing 8 barangays to each of the two new towns,[9] effectively losing its Lake Buluan coastline to the former.
