Iligan City, known as the "City of Majestic Waterfalls," is a highly urbanized city in the northern part of Mindanao, Philippines. It is part of Lanao del Norte and serves as an economic, industrial, and educational hub in the region. The city is famous for its 24 waterfalls, with Maria Cristina Falls as its most iconic, supplying hydroelectric power to Mindanao through the Agus Hydroelectric Plant. Other notable waterfalls include Tinago Falls and Mimbalot Falls, which attract nature lovers and adventure seekers. Strategically located along Iligan Bay, the city is a gateway to Mindanao, with a mix of coastal and mountainous landscapes. It has a rich history and cultural diversity, home to Cebuano, Maranao, Higaonon, and other indigenous groups. The city celebrates the Diyandi Festival every September, honoring St. Michael the Archangel, its patron saint. Iligan has a strong industrial base, with industries ranging from steel production (formerly National Steel Corporation) to food processing and agri-based businesses. It is also a center for education, hosting institutions like Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), one of the country’s top research universities. With ongoing development initiatives, such as investments from South Korea, economic zones, and digital transformation projects, Iligan aims to enhance its role as a business-friendly city. The local government prioritizes sustainable tourism, agriculture, and technology-driven development, making Iligan a promising destination for investment and innovation in Mindanao.
