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[33]

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

Covers about 91 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.

Life & Economy

About 29 of every 100 people lived below the poverty line in 2021.
Poverty, 2021Poverty incidenceHow many of every 100 people live in families whose income is below the poverty line: what a person needs in a year for food and other basic needs, as the PSA sets it for each province. It is an estimate, from a survey or, for a town, a statistical model, so the PSA gives a range it is likely to fall in.More in the glossary
28.8% of people[20]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.
Income classIncome classThe Department of Finance sorts provinces, cities and municipalities into classes by their average yearly income over recent years: 1st class has the most. It measures the local government's income, not how well off its people are.More in the glossary

About 29 of every 100 people in San Francisco lived below the poverty line in 2021 (28.8%)[20]

History & Identity

Created
San Francisco was made a regular municipality of Agusan by Republic Act No. 2518, approved 21 June 1959, joining eight municipal districts including the municipal district of San Francisco.[9]

Its story

Before it was a town, the area was part of the District of Gibong, governed by Deputy Governor Francisco Cataylo, with the seat of government at Sta. Ana, which included the sitio Hagpa, the site of present-day San Francisco.[11]

In early 1955 San Francisco became a municipal district, and Mrs. Francisca Tesoro Samson was appointed its first municipal district mayor by Governor Felixberto Dagani.[11]

Republic Act No. 2518 of 21 June 1959 made it a regular municipality of the Province of Agusan; Atty. Paquito Fuentes was the first elected mayor and served three consecutive terms.[9, 11]

On 17 June 1967 Agusan was divided into Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur, and San Francisco went to Agusan del Sur.[11, 12]

The municipality of Rosario was created from its territory through Republic Act No. 5760, approved on 21 June 1969.[11]
