Manjuyod (ceb|Lungsod sa Manjuyod; tl|Bayan ng Manjuyod), officially the Municipality of Manjuyod, is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Negros Oriental, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 44,799 people.
Manjuyod is from Dumaguete.
In 1850, Father Antonio Moreno, an Augustinian Recollect, spearheaded the construction of the municipality's town hall. He also laid out the layouts for the plaza and municipal streets. Moreno later opened more roads to the north, paving the way for the establishment of the sitios Payabon and Ayungon.[2] Its position as a municipality was reaffirmed under Executive Order No. 37 in 1908.[3]
As Manjuyod grew, several of its sitios seceded to form their own municipalities. In 1872, some sitios in the south separated to form the town of Bais, which later became a city. In 1949, sitio Payabon seceded to form Bindoy. In 1966, four sitios were transferred to the then-newly created municipality of Mabinay as part of its expansion.[4] Sitio Kauswagan, however, did not secede, making it an exclave of Manjuyod that is not directly connected with any of the municipality's barangays.
Manjuyod is situated in the central part of Negros Oriental. It is bound by the municipality of Bindoy in the north, Mabinay to the west, and the city of Bais in the south. It shares a coastline with Tañon Strait to the east.
Manjuyod is politically subdivided into 27 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
Kauswagan is an exclave of the municipality; from the east, it is surrounded by the municipality of Mabinay and the city of Kabankalan in the province of Negros Occidental to the west.
Tourist attractions in Manjuyod include the Himampangon Cave, a natural rock formation; and the Candabong forest, there are many species living in Candabong forest which is protected by the government. In recent years, the white sand bar, a narrow seven-kilometer strip of white beach sand, has been gaining attention from local and foreign tourists. It is often dubbed as the "Maldives of the Philippines."
Saint Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of Manjuyod, and his feast day is celebrated annually October 4 with the town fiesta. The fiesta is an official non-working holiday for the town.
The public schools in the town of Manjuyod are administered by two school districts under the Schools Division of Negros Oriental.
