Amlan, officially the Municipality of Amlan (Cebuano : Lungsod sa Amlan; Tagalog : Bayan ng Amlan), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Negros Oriental, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 25,513 people. [3]
Amlan was formerly known as Ayuquitan. [5]
Amlan is 21 kilometres (13 mi) from Dumaguete.
Nineteenth-century chronicler Licinio Ruiz mentions Alman, a settlement said to have been named after a superior kind of guava. The town was made a parish independent of Tanjay in 1848, was renamed Ayuquitan in 1912, became Amlan after WW II.
Its Church of St. Andrew the Apostle, completed in 1853 (and said to have taken 50 years to build), is the centerpiece of the town's tourism while providing photo opportunists with a colonial period backdrop. The ruins of watch towers against the Moro depredations of old can still be seen in Buswang and near the mouth of the Amlan River; and two others near the school building of Ayuquitan and barrio Calo.
Amlan is politically subdivided into 8 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
