Patikul, officially the Municipality of Patikul (Tausūg: Kawman sin Patikul; ), is a municipality in the province of Sulu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 79,564 people. The provincial capitol and offices are located in this municipality.
The municipality is used to be known for being a stronghold of the Abu Sayyaf insurgent group.
In the late 1870s, two candidates for sultan were both proclaimed—Amirul Kiram of Maimbung (Maymbung), as suggested by Sulu governor Julian Gonzales Parrado; and Datu Aliyud Din of Patikul, who was supposed to be the regent but such suggestion was opposed by the party, marking the start of armed conflicts. In 1885, the Maimbung forces attacked the outnumbered Patikul party, defeating them, destroying the camp, and burning the settlement. Aliyud Din later fled to Basilan.
In 1887 and 1888, Patikul, along with other areas, was attacked by forces led by governor Juan Arolas and loyal to Sultan Harun, killing several natives. Meanwhile, Datu Aliyud Din returned to Patikul in late 1886, and for about a year, was defended against forces of Maimbung and those loyal to Sultan Harun. He temporarily left the area for a year, and lived until his death, about 1892. Patikul and Maimbung parties remained divided, even the Spaniards left the country and the Americans occupied Jolo in 1899.
Natives of Lati and Patikul were involved in the deadly attack of Jolo when hostilities broke out shortly in 1895.
On February 20, 1996, a Marine offensive against the ASG in Kanjamak killed fourteen extremists. The MNLF later claimed that at the height of the offensive, seven Muslim worshippers were killed by troopers in a mosque in Tanum, which was later denied by the Armed Forces Southern Command.
Patikul had its power connection energized through a project by the National Electrification Administration in the late 1996.
On 2 February 2019, five Philippine Army were killed and five others injured in a shootout with the ISIL-linked group, Abu Sayyaf, in Patikul. Three terrorists were killed and 15 others were injured. The attack happened a week after a bombing that killed 20 people in a cathedral in the neighboring city of Jolo.
On June 4, 2021, A Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) crashed in Patikul, Sulu, killing 53 people. The incident is the deadliest aviation accident involving the Philippine military.
