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 IV[37]

Rain spread fairly evenly through the year, with no dry season.

Covers about 62 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.

Everything listed for Bukidnon in Now

Created
Made a province by Act No. 2408, enacted 23 July 1914 and in effect from 1 September 1914; before that a sub-province of Agusan, organized in 1907 under Act No. 1693 of 20 August 1907[10, 11, 12]

How it got its name

Bukidnon means people of the mountains, from the Visayan bukid, mountain. As settlers from the Visayas came, the tribes of the lowlands moved inland to the mountains; they came to be called Bukidnon, and the land took its name from them.[12, 13]

The word is Cebuano, but most of the people it names have come to accept it.[13]

Its story

Spanish rule reached its mountain peoples late: they lived much as before until the 1860s, by which time the land was governed as part of the Province of Misamis.[12, 14]

Act No. 1693 of 20 August 1907 created the Province of Agusan with two sub-provinces, Butuan and Bukidnon. Bukidnon's lieutenant governor, Frederick Lewis, helped by Manuel Fortich, rebuilt old villages, developed farming and opened schools.[11, 12]

Act No. 2408 made Bukidnon a province of the Department of Mindanao and Sulu from 1 September 1914, and Manuel Fortich was its first governor, until 1921. A law of 2024 keeps 1 September as Araw ng Bukidnon, a holiday for its foundation anniversary.[10, 12, 15]

In 1957 the town of Maluko was renamed Manolo Fortich. Republic Act No. 8490 of February 1998 and Republic Act No. 8985 of December 2000 converted Malaybalay and Valencia into component cities, each subject to ratification by its voters in a plebiscite.[16, 17, 18]
