Climate

Climate typeClimate typePAGASA sorts the country's climate into four types by when the rain falls. Type I has a dry season from November to April and a wet one for the rest of the year; Type II has no dry season, with the most rain from December to February; Type III has a short dry season; Type IV has rain spread through the year.More in the glossary

Type II[38]

No dry season. The rain is heaviest from December to February, and no month is truly dry.

Covers about 52 of every 100 parts of its land. Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

About 23 of every 100 people in Agusan del Norte lived below the poverty line in 2023 (22.7%)[26]

The PSA's survey puts it between 18.2% and 27.3%, with 95% confidence. The poverty line was ₱29,101 a person for the year. As the PSA counts it, without the City of Butuan.

The PSA notes: Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2023 poverty incidence among population should be used with caution.

Everything listed for Agusan del Norte in Now

Created
Created by Republic Act No. 4979, which divided the Province of Agusan, enacted 17 June 1967 without the President's signature, subject to a plebiscite held with the November 1967 elections[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe province's history, under the heading of its mythical origin, says early settlers called the land agasan, where the water flows, after its great river, and that under Spain the name became Agusan.[10, 11]

Republic Act No. 4979 divided the Province of Agusan in two in 1967; its northern part became Agusan del Norte.[9]

Its story

Local traditionAn oral tradition the province keeps says Rajah Siagu, ruler of Agusan, brought Magellan to Masao, now Magallanes, where the first Mass in the Philippines was said on Easter Sunday 1521.[10]

By law the site is Limasawa: Republic Act No. 2733, approved on 19 June 1960, declares the place on Limasawa Island where the first Mass in the Philippines was held a national shrine.[12]

The Jesuit Saturnino Urios, remembered as the Apostle of Agusan, converted some 23,000 people in his 28 years in the province, and a school in Butuan bears his name.[10]

In the revolution a small force under Gumersindo Flores fought for Aguinaldo's government at Butuan, but Agusan gave in to the Americans in January 1900. Act No. 1693 separated it from Surigao in 1907, and in 1914 it became a province of the Department of Mindanao and Sulu, with Teofisto Guingona as its first Filipino governor.[10, 13, 14]

Republic Act No. 4979, written by Congressman Jose C. Aquino, became law without the President's signature on 17 June 1967. Once approved in a plebiscite, it made eight towns, from Carmen to Las Nieves, the Province of Agusan del Norte, with Butuan City as its capital and Agusan's officials elected in 1967 as its own.[9, 10]

In 1995 the province became part of Region XIII, Caraga, with Butuan City as the regional centre. A law of 2000 named Cabadbaran its capital and seat of government in place of Butuan City, and Cabadbaran became a city in 2007.[15, 16, 17]

Its charter day falls on 17 June: a proclamation marked 17 June 1999 as the province's 32nd Charter Day Anniversary, and its 50th foundation anniversary was celebrated over a week in June 2017.[18, 19]
