Bindoy (formerly Payabon), officially the Municipality of Bindoy (; ), is a municipality in the province of Negros Oriental, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 41,543 people.

History

The current site of Poblacion started as Barrio Payabon in the Municipality of Manjuyod. The municipality came to existence when Barrio Pabayon was joined with barrios of Malaga, Pangalaycayan, Cabugan, Piñahan, Batangan, Bulod, Atotes, Nalundan, Salong, Tubod, Canluto, Matobato, Tinaogan, Domolog, Tagaytay, and Danao and the sitios of Camodlas, Mansehe, and Cabcaban, to form the Municipality of Payabon when Executive Order No. 228 was signed on June 17, 1949 by then President Elpidio Quirino. On June 26, 1959, the municipality was renamed to its current name Bindoy, in honor of the late Hermenegildo “Bindoy” Teves Villanueva, who served as governor of Negros Oriental, assemblyman of the First District, Secretary of Labor, and Senator of the Republic.

Geography

Bindoy encompasses 173.7 square kilometers (67.07 square miles) of area. It is bounded with the municipalities of Ayungon in the north, Mabinay to the west, and Manjuyod to the south. It also shares a coastline with Tañon Strait. Bindoy is 70 km from Dumaguete.

Bindoy's Bulod flatstones are weighty export items, their quarrying makes for an interesting sight. Bindoy's mangroves salute nature conservationists, as do dainty Mantahaw Falls and limpid Mantahaw Lake.

Barangays

Bindoy is politically subdivided into 22 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
