Butuan City

As early as the 10th Century, according to the Chinese soong Shi (history), people from Butuan had already established trading relations with the Kingdom of Champa in what is now South Vietnam.
By the 11th Century, Butuan was the center of trade and commerce in the Philippines. The best evidence to prove this fact is the discovery of 9 balangays (The BUTUAN BOAT) and other archaeological finds in the vicinities of Butuan City , particularly in Ambangan, Libertad near the old EL RIO de BUTUAN and MASAO river.
Welcome to a City that has seen over 1,677 years of recorded history! The original site of the First Easter Mass in Philippine Soil. Here, the present nurtures the past and vice-versa. While the future waits promisingly in the wings.
