History

The municipality of Binidayan was created by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 482 series of 1954. Its first local election was held on the 1957 Philippine General Election, hence numerous individuals were appointed as its local officials prior to the 1957 Philippine General Election. Sultan Raraco Pundag Macaorao was the municipality's first mayor by virtue of appointment. Datu Omar Basman Olama was its first elected municipal mayor, while Sultan Muliloda Dimaporo was the municipality's longest serving chief executive. After the 1986 People Power Revolution which resulted to the ascension of President Cory Aquino, all incumbent local officials were removed from their respective offices to pave way to President Aquino's reform agenda. As a result, numerous individuals were named as the municipality's officials prior to the 1988 General election.
