Catmon, officially the Municipality of Catmon (Cebuano : Lungsod sa Catmon; Tagalog : Bayan ng Catmon), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 30,471 people. [4]
The town fiesta is celebrated every 10 February in honor of their patron saint, San Guillermo de Aquitania. Part of the annual fiesta is the Budbod Kabog Festival and participated by the public schools.
The municipality got its name from the presence of huge trees called katmon (dillenia philippinensis) that thrive in this area. It was in 1835 that the town was founded under the Spaniards, but it was only in 1903 when the place became a municipality, after the Americans asked the leaders of Catmon and the nearby settlement of Sogod to merge into one, single municipality. 18 years after its establishment, in 1921, Sogod became a separate municipality.
Catmon is bordered on the north by the town of Sogod, to the west by the town of Tuburan, on the east by the Camotes Sea, and on the south by the town of Carmen.
Catmon's topography is generally mountainous and hilly but patches of flat lands can be found along the coastline and portion of the poblacion. The municipality's climate is of Coronas climate type IV, where rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year. Mount Capayas (Kapayas) (also known as Tore Peak), Cebu's second highest peak, is located in Cambangkaya. Mount Capayas is one of the Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) of Cebu. [6]
