MAITUM, SARANGANI

The town is the second municipality at the north of province of Sarangani, Philippines, The word "Maitum" refers to the black stones in Saub River. It is believed that the river stones turned black when the local native princess and her warrior lover passed through it as they eloped and escaped from the wrath of the princess' father who disapproved their marriage.

One of the most visited Barangay is the New La Union wherein you can find the famous White Water Tubing adventure at the Pangi River. As per advised by our habal-habal driver most of the resident in barangay is ilocano speaking, this was beacause some of the locals in San Fernando, La Union migrated in Sarangani and these are the reason why the barangay got its name, New La Union.
