The 3.77 km (2.34 mi) bridge connects Tangub, Misamis Occidental to Tubod, Lanao del Norte.

The city's name came from the Subanen word "Tangkub", which is a rice container made of tree bark woven together by rattan strips.

One version tells about a Spanish soldier on patrol in the area who found a dead man whom the Subanens described as bitten by a snake inside the “tangkub” when he checked if there was still rice in the container.

[5] Trade and commerce emerged when many agricultural products were harvested, and the Subanens bartered their land for goods brought in by other Christian settlers from Luzon and Visayas.

Tangub is 77.1 km (77,100 mi) from Maria Cristina Falls, the main source of hydroelectric power in Mindanao.

This festival is the pageantry of sights, sounds and colors as it honors and pays homage to Sr. Santo Niño, the child Jesus.

Tangub City has won a record of twelve grand champion streak in the Sinulog-Based Category of the festival.

During the month-long festival, the city fills with a delightful array of illuminated holiday decor, bathing the streets in a most enticing glow.
