The latest 2025 Butuan City Road Crash Data reveals a clear call to action. Motorcycles, cars, and pedestrians remain the most frequently involved in road crashes, with reckless driving identified as the leading cause.

Mayor Law Fortun urges all Butuanons to stay disciplined, follow traffic rules, and make safety a daily priority.

Road safety is everyone’s responsibility. When we drive smarter and walk safer, we build a stronger and safer Butuan together.

Mayor Law Fortun welcomes RED Ricardo M. Oñate, Jr. , Regional Executive Director of the Department of Agriculture, Caraga Region, for a courtesy visit focused on improving access for farming communities in Butuan City.

The discussion emphasized how better access directly benefits our farmers by enabling easier and faster transport of agricultural products, reducing post-harvest losses, lowering transportation costs, and improving access to markets.

Improved access also ensures that farmers can more readily obtain farm inputs, equipment, and essential services, ultimately increasing productivity and income.

Enhancing access to and from agricultural areas is a vital step toward empowering our farming communities and boosting the overall agricultural growth of Butuan City.

Step into a place where history and nature meet. Būd Eco Park in Brgy. Pinamanculan, Butuan City, offers more than breathtaking views—it overlooks the heart of ancient Butuan’s golden age.

From the 10th to 13th centuries, this hill stood watch over the Masao River (El Rio de Butuan), a vital trade route that made Butuan a major trading port and center of the gold industry, linking it to powerful Asian kingdoms long before colonization. This same river system powered the Balangay maritime civilization, reflecting early Filipino mastery of boat-building and seafaring.

While the Balangay boats are preserved in museums, Būd Eco Park remains part of this living landscape—overlooking the waterways that once carried traders across seas.

Today, visitors can explore the eco park’s historical marker, memorial cross, and commemorative statues, all while enjoying a peaceful green escape rooted in Butuan’s proud maritime heritage.

Come and visit with your family, friends, or special someone—Būd Eco Park awaits.

Walking Toward a Future Filled with Confidence and Opportunity

Through PDAO’s coordinated services, children with disabilities like Asher Dapar gain the care and support they need to walk confidently, participate in school, and live fuller, more independent lives.

Born with cerebral palsy, Asher once needed constant assistance, but with physical therapy, assistive devices, and timely surgery, he now moves with confidence, attends school, and enjoys daily activities like other kids.

His journey shows the power of accessible, compassionate local government services. Asher’s father reminds parents whose children have the same needs: “Unta dili mo ma-ulaw ug duol sa PDAO kay sila ra gihapon ang usa nga makatabang sa atoa, para atoang bata ma-normal na… Dili nato ika-ulaw ang atong mga anak.”

Real progress is measured by lives improved.

The results of the 2025 Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) were presented to the City Government of Butuan, Civil Society Organizations, and the DILG. The CSIS gathers and analyzes feedback from residents to measure their awareness, availment, and satisfaction with government programs and services.

This initiative reflects the leadership principle of Mayor Law Fortun, who firmly believes that governance must always be grounded in the voices of the people. As the Mayor emphasized, “Citizens’ feedback is important to me.” He further challenged the local government, asking: “Are we really making an impact on the lives of our people? Are these accomplishments reaching ordinary citizens, especially those who are marginalized and vulnerable?”

The CSIS covers seven core service areas: Health, Education Support, Public Works and Infrastructure, Social Services, Governance and Response, Economic and Investment Promotion, and Environmental Management.

Through this initiative, LGU-Butuan strengthens its commitment to transparent, responsive, and citizen-centered governance, ensuring that programs truly reach and benefit every Butuanon.

Celebrating more than three decades of dedicated public service, PhilHealth Regional Office – Caraga officially launched its 31st Anniversary Kickoff on February 9, 2026, anchored on the theme “Ka-YAKAP ang Pilipino sa Kalusugang Segurado.”

Through the implementation of PhilHealth YAKAP at GAMOT, thousands of Butuanons have benefited from expanded access to essential medicines, outpatient services, and reduced out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, helping ensure timely and affordable care for the community.

A highlight of the program was the Ceremonial Signing of the Pledge of Commitment, reaffirming the office’s continued dedication to delivering accessible and secure healthcare services. The celebration was further enriched by a message of support from Butuan City Mayor Hon. Lawrence Lemuel H. Fortun, as PhilHealth moves forward into another year of service excellence.
