History

The Municipality of Nagtipunan was formerly a part of Maddela. It was created on February 25, 1983, by virtue of Batas Pambansa No. 345 and approved in a plebiscite held on September 24, 1983. The town's name was derived from the native word meaning “convergence point,” in reference to several major tributaries of the Cagayan River in Aurora, Nueva Vizcaya and Qurino meeting at points within this area.

Attractions

Natural attractions include:

  • The Cagayan River, one of the cleanest bodies of water in the Philippines, which flows from Barangay San Pugo down to Barangay Ponggo where Tatimbang, Apang, Aguk, Bimmapor and Puctad are found.
  • The 50 metres (160 ft) high Mactol Falls, in Barangay San Pugo, is the Cagayan River headwater. It is located 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Pongo (a 2.5-hr. drive) and has a 22 metres (72 ft) deep basin surrounded by rock formations and a forest. It used for swimming and picnicking.
  • Also found in Nagtipunan is the “Bimmapor,” a rock formation similar to a sunken ship, of which only the upper decks are protruding from the ground.
  • The Pusuac cave and watershed in Barangay Ponggo.
