Welcome to Salay!
Salay is a quaint town of Misamis Oriental in the island of Mindanao, Philippines. Typical of most rural towns, Salay has a clean, green, and unpolluted environment. Its friendly people live a simple, rustic lifestyle.

Population
Salay has a total population of 22,577.

Electricity and Connectivity
All barangays are 100% lighted (220V). Mobile phone signal is strong for most local networks (Smart and Globe), which means you can use your laptop and a broadband kit from one of these networks to connect to the internet. Otherwise, there are also small internet cafés within the town proper and the neighboring town of Balingasag.

Salay is approximately 62 kilometers, approximately 1.5 hours from the city by car or bus.

Visitors should take the bus that goes to Butuan city, and ask the driver or bus conductor to drop you off at Salay Central School. Salayhandmade is a 10-minute walk away. Better yet, experience local transport and take a 3-minute trisikad (motorized cabs) ride for $0.10!
