Gingoog (IPA: ['hiŋuʔog] HEE-ngu-og), officially the City of Gingoog (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Hingoog; Filipino: Lungsod ng Gingoog), is a 1st class component city in the province of Misamis Oriental, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 136,698 people.[3]

Like other municipalities in the Philippines that retained Spanish-based orthography, the city name is spelled as Gingoog but is pronounced as ['hiŋuʔog] or HEE-ngu-og since it originated as a Binukid word.

History

[edit]

The term Gingoog originally came from the word "Hingoog", which means "Goodluck", from a Lumad tribe of Manobo who settled in the area.[5] The word implies good fortune, thus Gingoog means the "City of Good Luck". The natives of this place are the ones with the family names of "Gingco", and "Gingoyon".

Gingoog was founded as a mission by Spanish missionaries in 1750. It was one of the oldest localities in Misamis Oriental Province, older than the province's capital and economic hub, Cagayan de Oro which was founded in 1871.

The territory of then-independent Gingoog was made part of Talisayan for a while, since the passage of Act No. 951, issued by the Philippine Commission on October 21, 1903, which reduced the number of municipalities in the then-undivided Misamis province from 24 to 10,[6] until becoming the first former municipality to be reconstituted thereafter through Act No. 1618, enacted on March 20, 1907 and took effect on August 10.[7]

During the early 20th century, with its abundant natural resources, Gingoog slowly continued to edge forward their economic progress, attracting migrants from Luzon and Visayas to settle in the area as their new home. After the World War II, the fast and vast production output of agriculture (specifically coconut & coffee) and logging industry created a momentum of progress that led to the initiation of Gingoog’s early independence from the Province of Misamis Oriental.

In 1957, the sitio of Binuangan was converted into a barrio known as Talisay.[8]

Cityhood

[edit]
Main article: Cities of the Philippines

Gingoog was turned into a city via Republic Act No. 2668 signed by President Carlos P. Garcia circa June 18, 1960.[9]

Geography

[edit]

It is bounded on the east by the Municipality of Magsaysay; on the west by the Municipality of Medina; on the south by the Municipality of Claveria; and on the north by Gingoog Bay.
