Butuan is a city in the Agusan del Norte in the Philippines. Located at the Northeastern part of Agusan Valley sprawling across the Agusan River is Butuan City, known for its colorful history and culture.

On the 1st of January 2000, this particular site along the coast of Davao Oriental facing the Pacific Ocean was the setting of a grand spectacle. Hundreds of local and even foreign tourists are said to have gathered here to have a glimpse of the first sunrise of the new millennium. Almost two decades later, many people visiting the province are still not familiar that in the town of Caraga, about an hour drive north of the capital, the sun rises first in the Philippines at Pusan Point.
