Camalaniugan is geographically situated in the midst of 4 municipalities of northern part of Cagayan province.  It is bounded on the north by the northern-most town of northeast Luzon, the municipality of Aparri, on the south by municipality of Lallo, formerly known as the Nueva Segovia during the Spanish regime, whereon of the longest suspension bridges in the Philippines (Magapit Suspension Bridge) is located; on the east by the once crocodile infested, the municipality of Buguey, andon the west by the municipality of Allacapan. It lies in a meridian of 121 o 40’57” east longitude and 18o16’5” north latitude. It has a land area of approximately 9,282.5448 hectares.

         The town of Camalaniugan has a total of twenty-eight (28) barangays, two of which are separated on the west by the Cagayan River.  The old poblacion where the Spanish colonizers first established their authoritarian rule was divided into four (4) barangays wherein Ybanag is still their major dialect.  The rest of the barangays which are mostly rice-producing and the sources of fresh-water fish like mudfish, hito, tilapia and gurami are located on the south, north and eastern part of the town bounding with the Municipalities of Aparri, Buguey and Lal-lo. Almost perpendicular to Aparri-Manila National Highway starting at Dugo Junction and going east, is the Dugo – San Vicente Road (DSVR).  This road network plays a vital role in the economic development not only of the remote eastern barangays of the Municipality of Camalaniugan but also of the eastern coastal towns of Cagayan. Due to the strategic location of the Dugo Junction, Bulala is now booming commercial center of the town.  It became the drop point of commodities brought in by merchants from other towns and provinces for dispatch to various towns of lower Cagayan including Aparri.

         In line with its vision and mission, is the mandate of being primarily responsible in the provision and delivery of basic services and facilities and the challenge of sustainable development. This shift of tremendous responsibilities and challenging roles, demands a corresponding transformation in the organizational structure, manpower capabilities and staffing pattern of the Municipality considering that human resource is the most important resource in an organization.

The crafting of the LGU’s Strategic Human Resource Plan will serve as a guidance to upcoming local leaders come May 2013 election for appropriate implementation support – financial, policy and administration.
