context_page_description: Mahayag, officially the Municipality of Mahayag, is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 46,516 people.
context_section_description: The town of Mahayag has a high eco-tourism potential, particularly, the cold springs in Barangay Tuburan, the cave system in Barangay Kaangayan, and the Salug River that traverses the Municipality.
  Although the municipality has good eco-tourism potential, to date, only the cold springs in Barangay Tuburan have been developed as evidenced by the three private resorts in the area.  This is the only tourist destination in Mahayag as of this time.
  Government investment to promote and to develop eco-tourism remains to be desired.  The cave system in Barangay Kaangayan, for example, due to its proximity to the national highway, can be developed to promote spelunking activities.  On the one hand, studies can be undertaken on the feasibility of promoting whitewater rafting in the rapids of Salug River.
