Tubo, officially the Municipality of Tubo (Ilocano: Ili ti Tubo, Filipino: Bayan ng Tubo), is a municipality in the province of Abra in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) of the Philippines. The population was 5,699 at the 2015 census. In the 2016 electoral roll, it had 3,378 registered voters.
The municipality was created on June 17, 1967 from the former municipal district of the same name, through Republic Act 5161.
The inhabitants belong to the Maeng tribe and speak the dialect of the same name. There is however one barangay, Tabacda, that speaks a different dialect. This is because they are believed to have originated from Kalinga and Mountain Province. Everyone can however understand and speak the common evolving dialect called Maeng together with those of Luba and parts of Villavicioa of the Province of Abra and likewise in the other municipalities of the Province of Ilocos Sur, who refer themselves as the Bago tribe.
Agriculture is the main source of livelihood but various industries are starting to grow.
All barangays and their respective sitios do now have dirt roads leading to them but can still become accessible via trails permanently established even during the Spanish era. Electricity is available except in only one barangay and two sitios. The relative nearness of the three barangays of Dilong,Tubtuba and Alangtin to the Province of Ilocos Sur provided them the privilege of being served by ISECO whie all others remaining are served by ABRECO.
Tubo is located at 17°16′N 120°44′E / 17.26°N 120.73°E.
