Valderrama, officially the Municipality of Valderrama, (Kinaray-a: Banwa kang Valderrama; Hiligaynon: Banwa sang Valderrama; Filipino: Bayan ng Valderrama), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Antique, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 19,124 people.[4] The area is home to the indigenous Iraynun-Bukidnon, speakers of a dialect of the Kiniray-a language, who have crafted the only rice terrace clusters in the Visayas through indigenous knowledge and sheer vernacular capabilities. The rice terraces of the Iraynun-Bukidnon are divided into three terraced fields, namely, Lublub rice terraces, Baking rice terraces, and San Agustin rice terraces. All of the rice terrace clusters have been researched on by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and various scholars from the University of the Philippines. There have been campaigns to nominate the Iraynun-Bukidnon Rice Terraces, along with the central Panay mountain range, into the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Etymology

The municipality was named after Spanish governor-general Manuel Blanco Valderrama.
