Pudtol, officially the Municipality of Pudtol, (Ilocano: Ili ti Pudtol; Tagalog: Bayan ng Pudtol), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Apayao, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 15,491 people.[3]

History

Pudtol, taken from Luna, was created as a municipal district on December 3, 1956 through executive order no. 217.[5][6][7] Prior to that, Pudtol was a sign of a Spanish mission.

It consisted of the last remaining territories of municipal district of Tauit (the first sub-provincial capital of Apayao), which was abolished on January 21, 1936 through EO No. 13 and annexed as a single barrio to Luna.[5][6][8][9] Tauit also comprised the present-day municipalities of Luna, Santa Marcela, Flora, and some parts of Lasam and Allacapan.[10]

Barangays Aga, Cacalaggan, Malibang and Matanguisi are comprised by then-Barrio Tawit, Tauit's seat of government.[5][9]

On March 31, 1959, Pudtol was converted into a municipality by virtue of executive order no. 335.[6][11]

On June 22, 1963, via Republic Act No. 3672, several barrios and sitios were separated from Pudtol and constituted into the newly created municipality of Flora.[12]

Geography

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 401.02 square kilometres (154.83 sq mi) [13] constituting 9.09% of the 4,413.35-square-kilometre- (1,704.00 sq mi) total area of Apayao.
