PoKaBa Ridge rises above Bayog in Zamboanga del Sur, where the Sibuguey River winds through lowland farms and settlements beneath the surrounding uplands. The name is a recent local construction: Bayog’s municipal tourism division says it combines Poblacion, Kahayagan and Balumbonan, the three barangays that meet around the ridge. The municipality also notes that PoKaBa has not become an official geographic name. That detail matters; this is a community-promoted destination whose identity is still taking shape, not a long-established commercial park with standardized facilities.
The municipality’s tourism page presents PoKaBa among Bayog’s attractions, alongside waterfalls, a cave and an ecopark. The ridge’s appeal is more intimate than a built lookout: the draw is the climb, the changing view and the open summit. On a clear day, visitors can look over Bayog’s lowlands and follow the Sibuguey River through the valley. The panorama is not the whole municipality, as the local account cautions, but it reveals how settlement, agriculture and watercourses fit together.
