October 2, 2007WHERE CCMCL is..
North East of Mindanao is the province of Surigao del Sur. It occupies an area of 455,216 hectares. Approximately it has 4,552.16 square kilometers with a length of 175 kilometers facing Pacific Ocean, It lies within 125° 45' to 130° 30' E. Longitude and 10° 30' to 8° 00' Latitude. It is bounded on the North West by the provinces of Surigao del Norte, on the South West by Davao Oriental, on the East by the Pacific Ocean and on the West and South West by the Provinces of Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur.
…From the later part of the 1500s to 1919, the land area of the town Cantilan was roughly 130,000 hectares which is over one-fourth of the present area of the province of Surigao del Sur. This was the whole of Cantilan which is now known of the acronym of CARCANMACARLAN which is derived from the first three-syllables of thetowns of Carrascal, Cantilan, Madrid, Carmen and Lanuza.
The original acronym of the whole area was CARCANLAN which comprised of Carrascal, Cantilan and Lanuza. On December 10, 1918, Executive Order No. 52 of American Governor General Francis Burton Harrison which was signed by Charles Yeater, divided Cantilan into three parts. On February 2,1953, it became CARCANMADLAN when Madrid was created as a municipality and detached from the mother town by virtue of Executive Order by President Elpidio Quirino. When Brgy. Carmen of Lanuza was created as a town by Republic Act No.6367, on August 16,1971, the indigenous naming of the whole area that was once Cantilan finally became CARCANMADCARLAN in 1980.
