Municipality of Nabunturan - Philippines

NABUNTURAN was once a barangay of the municipality of Compostela. The name is a derivative from the word “BUNGTOD.” The natives called it such due to its elevated terrain compared to other areas within the valley. The early settlement was governed by a headman called “BAGANI” but was under the supervision of the Municipal District President of Compostela Valley over matters only concerning civil affairs .
