Bislig City

Bislig is approximately 208 kilometers Northeast of Davao City, 152 kilometers South of Tandag (the provincial capital town of Surigao del Sur) and 158 Southeast of Butuan City.

Currently, Bislig City's main goal is to produce a sea port at Barrio/Barangay Lawigan for the convenience of people travelling to other provinces. The concrete runway of the commercial airport can accommodate light commercial planes of the Fokker 50 class, though today the airport is only used for the occasional private plane.

Bislig's main attraction is the "Tinuy-an Falls", known as the "Niagara Falls" of the Philippines.

Barrio/Barangay Mangagoy is the center of trade of the city. It houses National Banks and local ones. Education requirements from Kindergarten up to College are supplied by private and public institutions. Telecommunications is efficient -- Internet, cellular phones, cable televisions and leased data lines are available. There are also good inns and hotels. Motorized tricycles, jeepneys, and buses ply its concrete roads and highways. The city-folks are warm and candid.

Bislig is the home of PRI (PICOP Resources, Inc.), one of the largest paper mills in the country, and also formerly the largest paper mill in Asia. Its concession is a sanctuary of the Philippine Eagle.

A local dialect, called Kamayo (spelling uncertain), is sometimes used by the residents, though they usually use the more general Visayan language of the region.
