Datu Odin Sinsuat, officially the Municipality of Datu Odin Sinsuat (Maguindanaon: Inged nu Datu Odin Sinsuat; Jawi: داتو أودين سينسوات; Tagalog: Bayan ng Datu Odin Sinsuat), is a municipality and capital of the province of Maguindanao del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 116,768 people.
The town's name was formerly known as Dinaig. It was changed to Datu Odin Sinsuat in 1994, by virtue of Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 29.[1]
The municipality is home to the Awang Domestic Airport that serves the province and Cotabato City.
Datu Odin Sinsuat (Dinaig) was organized as a municipality through Executive Order No. 82 signed by President Manuel Roxas on August 18, 1947.[2] In 1955, the barrio of Upi was separated from Datu Odin Sinsuat to become the town of Upi.[3]
The town was part of the province of Shariff Kabunsuan and served as its capital from October 2006 until its nullification by the Supreme Court in July 2008.
In 2023, there were proposals to create two new municipalities out of Datu Odin Sinsuat, which was met with opposition from town officials, who suggested the town be converted into a component city instead.[4] On, the Bangsamoro parliament approved Parliament Bill Nos. 190 and 191, both seeking to carve the proposed municipalities of Datu Balabaran Sinsuat and Sheik Abas Hamza from Datu Odin Sinsuat; the measure gained mixed reactions, with United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP) and their supporters favoring and town officials and their supporters opposing.[5]
Datu Odin Sinsuat is politically subdivided into 34 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks while some have sitios.
