Pinamungajan is a town in midwestern Cebu, next to Toledo City and just before Aloguinsan. It can be reached through the Naga-Uling road that connects to Toledo or through the transcentral highway that connects Cebu City and Balamban.
The 2010 census pegged its population at 57,997 people.[3]
The municipality was established in 1815. It has two waterfalls, a sandbar, a trail of resorts lining up the beaches in barangay Tajao, and over 100 magnificent caves in barangay Lamac where caving enthusiasts from all over the country had gathered for a national congress.
Glenn Baricuatro, who had headed the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources for several years and who used to be the chief of staff former congressman of Pablo John Garcia, is its new mayor.
Pinamungajan is mostly agricultural, but is currently working to become an agro-industrial center in Cebu's midwest. Facing the Tañon Strait, its rich fishing grounds are a source of income for many fishing families. The town also takes pride in its skilled labor force which is the source of carpenters, masons and other workers in Cebu city and province's construction industry.
