Sibagat River
Sibagat River (Tagalog: Ilog Sibagat) (Cebuano: Suba sa Sibagat) is a stream located in Sibagat, Agusan del Sur, Caraga Region, Philippines.[1] It is a tributary of a larger Wawa River with headwaters located in the mountain boundaries of Sibagat and Butuan City. It traverses the barangays of Bugsukan in Butuan City, Tabontabon, Afga, El Rio, Mahayahay and Poblacion in Sibagat where its mouth located in Sitio Sabang met with the larger Wawa River.[2]
Sibagat River is named after its town's name Sibagat that comes from the word bagat which means meet or meeting place. According to the oral history, Sibagat River is the place where the warring tribes meet and fight. The losing tribe would retreat downstream to the Wawa River and disappear.[3][4][5]
