Bogo, officially the City of Bogo (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Bogo; Hiligaynon: Dakbanwa sang Bogo; Filipino: Lungsod ng Bogo), is a 6th class component city in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 88,867 people.[3]

The plebiscite for the cityhood of Bogo was held on June 16, 2007, in which 97.82% of voters of Bogo voted for cityhood. Former representative Clavel Asas-Martinez announced that the cityhood of Bogo has been ratified. It became the sixth component city of Cebu province.[5]

Government center

[edit]

The new Bogo City Hall was inaugurated on April 19, 2013, by President Benigno Aquino III.[6] Later that year, on November 8, a powerful super typhoon Yolanda,[7][8] also known as Typhoon Haiyan, badly hit northern Cebu, where Bogo City is located, and the city was not spared in the ensuing widespread devastation. Typhoon Yolanda destroyed almost everything from infrastructure to agriculture, with 90% of the populace left homeless, plus thirteen local fatalities among the National death toll of more than 6,000. City Hall was one of the structures damaged: its roof got ripped off, many windows were broken, and other parts of the building were badly damaged.[9]

Cityhood

[edit]
Main article: Cities of the Philippines
For further information, see League of Cities of the Philippines v. COMELEC.

On June 16, 2007, the municipality Bogo becomes a city in the province of Cebu after ratification of Republic Act 9390.

The Supreme Court declared the cityhood law of Bogo and 15 other cities unconstitutional after a petition filed by the League of Cities of the Philippines in its ruling on November 18, 2008. On December 22, 2009, the cityhood law of Bogo and 15 other municipalities regain its status as cities again after the court reversed its ruling on November 18, 2008. On August 23, 2010, the court reinstated its ruling on November 18, 2008, causing Bogo and 15 cities to become regular municipalities. Finally, on February 15, 2011, Bogo becomes a city again including the 15 municipalities declaring that the conversion to cityhood met all legal requirements.

In 2013, after six years of legal battle, in its board resolution the League of Cities of the Philippines acknowledged and recognized the cityhood of Bogo and 15 other cities on July 19, 2013.[10][11]

Piyesta sa Bogo

Bogo City celebrates two town fiestas in every year in honor of its patron saint, Saint Vincent Ferrer.[citation needed]

  • April 5 is the official feast day or the death anniversary of San Vicente Ferrer. Many pilgrims around the world will come to venerate the patron saint and almost all activities in this fiesta are religious activities only.
  • May 26–27 considered the biggest town fiesta celebration where most visitors come to witness the events, which include the search for Ms Bogo Festival Queen and the celebration of the official festival of Bogo City, the Pintos Festival.[a] The Pintos Festival involves creative street dancing and ritual showdown depicting the sangi (Planting), the harvest of corn, and the processing of the corn masa into the Pintos, as well as the thanksgiving of the abundant harvest. The festival is also celebrated through merrymaking by dancing the 'Kuyayang' – a Bogohanon courtship dance staged in front of the community during fiestas. Barangays all around Bogo join together to form fives cluster tribes.[25]
