Godod, officially the Municipality of Godod (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Godod; Subanen: Benwa Godod; Chavacano: Municipalidad de Godod; Tagalog: Bayan ng Godod), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 17,510 people.[3]

History

Through Batas Pambansa Blg. 146 which was approved on February 8, 1982, twelve barangays in southern Siayan were carved out to establish Godod, with one with the same name to be the seat of government.[4] A plebiscite for ratification, along with ten more newly-created local entities including nearby Bacungan, was held on May 17, coinciding with the barangay elections.[5]

On September 29, 1983, New People's Army guerrillas ambushed government troops in a mountainous area near Godod village,[6][7] leaving 39 soldiers and seven civilians dead, and wounding eight others, in one of the worst communist attacks.[8]
