Capitán Ángel is a rural barangay in the North Highway District of the city of Malaybalay, Philippines. It is situated entirely within the foothills of the Kitanglad Range. Formerly a sitio of Kalasungay, it achieved barangayhood on April 20, 1963, by virtue of Republic Act no. 3590[3] and was named after Ángel Casinabe, then the teniente del barrio of Kalasungay. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 1,160 people.[4]
The barangay is bounded to the north and northwest by the Lalawan River (a tributary of the Sawaga) separating it from Dalwangan; to the east, the line starting from the confluence of the Kalatugunan Creek and Sawaga River to the confluence of the Pamukulan and Kaulon Creeks separates Capitán Ángel from Kalasungay; to the south, the Pamukulan Creek separates it from Imbayao; and the west is delimited by the Kitanglad Range.[5] Capitán Ángel is characterized with old growth forests (puwalas) and intermittent grasslands (lubas) where most of it is classified as agricultural land.[6] Sugarcane, corn, and vegetables are grown and many livestock farms operate there. Politically, the barangay is subdivided into four purok. There is one public school which offers elementary and secondary education[7]
