Rio Grande de Mindanao
The Rio Grande de Mindanao, also known as the Mindanao River, is the second largest river system in the Philippines, after the Cagayan River of Luzon. It is the largest river on the southern island of Mindanao with a drainage area of draining majority of the central and eastern portion of the island. It is also the second longest river in the country with a length of approximately .〔"Principal River Basins of the Philippines", Published by the National Water Resources Board, October 1976 (p. 12)〕 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 Moro Gulf, it splits into two parallel sections, the Cotabato and Tamontaka, separated by a 180 m (600 ft) hill.
Population centers along the river include Cotabato City, Datu Piang, and Midsayap.

The Rio Grande de Mindanao has its source in the Central Mindanao Highlands near the northern coast of the island, specifically on the northeastern part of the province of Bukidnon, where it is known as the Pulangi River. It then flows southward across the Bukidnon Plateau, fed up by its tributaries along the way and then emerges onto the Cotabato plains, depositing fertile mountain silt as it widens and arcs westward through the Cotabato River Basin. It finally empties into Illana Bay at its mouth in Cotabato City.
