context_page_description: The Rio Grande de Mindanao, also known as the Mindanao River, is the second largest river system in the Philippines, located on the southern island of Mindanao. It has a drainage area of 23,169 km², draining the majority of the central and eastern portion of the island, with a total length of approximately 373 km. It is an important transportation artery on the island, used mainly in transporting agricultural products and, formerly, timber.
  Its headwaters are in the mountains of Impasugong, Bukidnon, south of Gingoog City in Misamis Oriental, where it is called the Pulangi River. Joining the Kabacan River, it becomes the Mindanao River. Flowing out of the mountains, it forms the center of a broad, fertile plain in the south-central portion of the island. Before its mouth in the Illana Bay, it splits into two parallel sections, the Cotabato and Tamontaka, separated by a 180 m hill.
  Population centers along the river include Cotabato City, Datu Piang, and Midsayap.
