Tubajon, officially the Municipality of Tubajon (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Tubajon; Surigaonon: Lungsod nan Tubajon; Tagalog: Bayan ng Tubajon), is a 5th class municipality in the province of Dinagat Islands, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 8,119 people.[3]
History
The town became a part of the province of Dinagat Islands in December 2006, when the province was created from Surigao del Norte by Republic Act No. 9355. However, in February 2010, the Supreme Court ruled that the law was unconstitutional, as the necessary requirements for provincial land area and population were not met. The town reverted to Surigao del Norte.[5] On October 24, 2012, however, the Supreme Court reversed its ruling, and upheld the constitutionality of RA 9355 and the creation of Dinagat Islands as a province.[6]
Barangays
Tubajon is politically subdivided into 9 barangays.
