Datu Odin Sinsuat

Datu Odin Sinsuat is a municipality and the capital of Maguindanao del Norte in the Philippines, with a population of 116,768 as of the 2020 census. Originally known as Dinaig, it was renamed in 1994 via Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 29. Established as a municipality in 1947 under Executive Order No. 82 by President Manuel Roxas, Datu Odin Sinsuat served as the capital of Shariff Kabunsuan from 2006 to 2008 but had its status nullified by the Supreme Court in 2008.

The municipality is home to Awang Domestic Airport and is divided into 34 barangays. Proposals in 2023 to create new municipalities within Datu Odin Sinsuat faced opposition, with local officials advocating for its conversion into a component city instead. These plans were halted after the Supreme Court ruled against unconstitutional provisions in the enabling act for the plebiscite.

Datu Odin Sinsuat boasts several tourist attractions, including Mount Minandar, known for its lush landscapes; Blue Lagoon (Enchanted Lagoon), a deep lagoon with mythological significance; Kusiong Beach, featuring resorts like Amaya Beach Resort and Precious Cabana Resort; and the pagoda-style Masjid Datu Untong Balabaran in Taviran. The town's economy, as of 2022, had a gross domestic product (GDP) of ₱24,129,300,000.
