Tubo, officially the Municipality of Tubo (Ilocano: Ili ti Tubo, Filipino: Bayan ng Tubo), is a municipality in the province of Abra in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) of the Philippines. The population was 5,699 at the 2015 census.[3] In the 2016 election, it had 3,378 registered voters.[4]

The municipality was created on June 17, 1967 from the former municipal district of the same name, through Republic Act 5161.[5]

History

The inhabitants belong to the Maeng tribe and speak the dialect of the same name. There is however one barangay, Tabacda, that speaks a different dialect. This is because they are believed to have originated from Kalinga. Everyone can understand and speak the common dialect though.

Agriculture is the main source of livelihood but various industries are starting to grow. Slash-and-burn farming is now less done while tree planting for commercial purposes is gaining ground.

While almost all barangays are now interconnected with a one way road network and have electricity; the others still can only be reached by foot and are using either an electric generator and or gas to light up the night.
