Organizational meeting of Wikiclub Iligan stakeholders last December 2025


The long wait is over, we are launching WikiClub Iligan!

Background

[edit]

Iligan is a highly urbanized city in Northern Mindanao located in the Province of Lanao del Norte, but it is an independent city. Iligan is known as the industrial center of the south and the city of majestic waterfalls.

Home of the Tri-people

[edit]

The city's most significant and inspiring story is its identity as a "melting pot." It is home to the "Tri-People"—the indigenous Higaonon, the Muslim Maranao, and the Christian settler (mostly Cebuano) communities—who have lived and worked together for generations. The Higaonon are the original inhabitants of the area.

Iligan's rich culture and heritage

[edit]
  1. Indigenous Roots and the Museum of Three Cultures
  2. Diyandi Festival - shared identity as Iliganons
  3. The Kolibugan- internmarriage tribe from the Maranao and Higaonon peoples
  4. Fusion of Flavors - Iligan's cuisine is a fusion of the tri-people heritage
  5. 'Thriving arts and literature - Iligan's unique visual and performing arts

The scarcity of content from Iligan makes this urban community and melting pot city a great venue for Wikimedia community.
