location

Cantilan is located on Lanuza Bay , which is part of the Philippine Sea and is the second northernmost and most populous part of a settlement area called CarCanMadCarLan ( Carrascal , Cantilan, Madrid , Carmen , Lanuza ). Cantilan is thus also the second northernmost municipality in the province of Surigao del Sur . The interior is at the mouth of the Cantilan River . The neighboring municipalities are Carrascal in the northwest and Madrid in the southeast.

economy

The city is an emerging commercial center of the region. There is also agriculture (mainly rice and coconut trees), cattle breeding (mainly pigs, chickens and water buffalo ) and coastal fishing. With regard to the processing industry, the "Lechon House" is relevant, which specializes in the production of suckling pigs, whereby usually not piglets, but rather annual pigs ( runners ) are processed. The usual Philippine retail trade in the form of so-called sari-sari stores is widespread.
