Sibulan, officially the Municipality of Sibulan (; ), is a municipality in the province of Negros Oriental, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 69,092 people.
Geography
Sibulan is 5 km from Dumaguete and 210 km from Bacolod. It is the location of Dumaguete Airport, the main airport for Negros Oriental.
Sibulan is also the location of the Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park, composed of Lake Balinsasayao and Lake Danao. The site, managed by the provincial government, is located 1047 m above sea level on Mount Talinis.
Barangays
Sibulan is politically subdivided into 15 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
Climate
Demographics
Economy
Dumaguete Airport, the major airport in the province, is actually in Agan-an. There is a growing number of guest houses and beach resorts from Cangmating southward to Dumaguete and the coral reefs of Ajong are attracting more dive boats.
The municipal seat is in Poblacion, approximately midway along the coast of the town. The main port facility is located in the same barangay, where there are trips every hour to Liloan, Santander on the southern tip of Cebu island. There is also a fishing and freight port in Looc.
Sibulan has two small Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), which are coral reef areas that prohibit fishing, swimming and diving. One is in Agan-an, just north of the airport, the other in Cangmating. These were established to improve the sustainability of the local fishery.
The inland barangays are primarily agricultural and residential with minimal business and public facilities. Most commercial development is along the national highway, which runs the length of the town from Dumaguete in the south to San Jose at the north. Most business and light industry is also located along the highway in Bolocboloc, Maslog, Agan-an and Poblacion including the newly opened 100-bed Negros Polymedic Hospital. This is largely urban sprawl from Dumaguete seeking the advantageous tax rates in Sibulan.
Sibulan also boasts a golf course resort, perched on the foothills in barangay San Antonio, just north of the town center.
