Pudtol

Pudtol, officially the Municipality of Pudtol, (Ilocano: Ili ti Pudtol; Tagalog: Bayan ng Pudtol), is a municipality in the province of Apayao, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 15,676 people.

Pudtol, taken from Luna, was created as a municipal district on December 3, 1956 through executive order no. 217.

Prior to its creation, Pudtol was once the center of the Spanish mission in the entire province of Apayao and served as the center of Catholicism in the province.

Pudtol consisted of the last remaining territories of the municipal district of Tauit (the first sub-provincial capital of Apayao), which was abolished on January 21, 1936 through EO No. 13 and annexed as a single barrio to Luna. Tauit also comprised the present-day municipalities of Luna, Santa Marcela, Flora, and some parts of Lasam, Allacapan, and Pamplona, Cagayan.

Barangays Aga, Cacalaggan, Malibang and Mataguisi are comprised by then-Barrio Tawit, Tauit's seat of government.

On March 31, 1959, Pudtol was converted into a municipality by virtue of Executive Order No. 335. It became the first regular municipality in the entire sub-province of Apayao.

On June 22, 1963, via Republic Act No. 3672, several barrios and sitios were separated from Pudtol and constituted into the newly created municipality of Flora.

Tauit (later spelled as Tawit), is an Isneg settlement along the lower Apayao-Abulug River. It was a former municipal district and served as Apayao's first sub-provincial capital from July 13, 1907 until the capital was moved to Kabugao on August 1, 1915 by virtue of Executive Order No. 45 signed by Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison. It had been existed by the time of creation of the sub-province of Apayao.
