:: Municipality of Sibalom ::
Sibalom is located in the south central portion of the elongated province of Antique. It is bounded by the municipalities of San Remegio and Patnongon on the north and northwest., Belison on the west, San Jose on the southwest, Hamtic on the south and the province of Iloilo on the east.
Sibalom has a total land area of 23,400.2095 hectares. It is ten (10) kilometers from San Jose, the provincial capital of Antique.
The municipality is composed of 76 barangays, all of which are classified as rural with the exception of the four districts of the Poblacion, which are considered relatively urban.
Sibalom topography is characterized by extensive floodplains generally to the central portion of the municipality and rolling hills on the outskirt of the floodplains with high mountain ranges located on the eastern border with province of Iloilo.
The municipality has smooth and rugged slopes. The level to gently sloping terrain is limited to the west central portion of the municipality and renders this part of Sibalom available for rice and corn production. The moderately sloping areas are found mostly on the outer fringes and the gently sloping terrain that leads to the steeply sloping areas are found mostly in the eastern part of the munipality. This is also part of the western cordillera of Antique where the headwater of the Tipuluan River, a major tributary of the Sibalom River, is found.
