NAME: Sitio Kaulayanan

LOCATION: Barangay Lirongan, Talakag, Bukidnon

FEATURES: Kaulayanan is a sitio of Brgy. Lirongan, Talakag, Bukidnon. This small Talaandig community is perfectly situated at the foothills of Mt. Kalatungan Range directly facing Mt. Kitanglad Range. The cool mountain weather makes the village suitable to high valued crops. While in Kaulayanan, the barangays of Basac and Kibanggay in Lantapan are clearly visible. The ordinary setting of the village is already stunning. The amazing landscape, the contours and symmetry of vegetable gardens are just few reasons why I fell in love with the place.
