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[40]

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

Covers about 87 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.

History & Identity

Camiguin's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Camiguin in Now

Created
Created by Republic Act No. 4669, approved 18 June 1966, which separated the sub-province of Camiguin from Misamis Oriental; under the law it began its corporate existence once officials elected in November 1967 took office[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe province's history derives the name from kamagong, the native name of a tree of the ebony family.[11]

Its story

In February 1565 Spaniards under Miguel López de Legazpi landed on the island in search of cinnamon. The first Spanish settlement was made in 1598 at Guinsiliban, where a watchtower once used to look out for Moro raiders still stands.[11, 12, 13]

Katagman, or Catarman, founded in 1679, was the island's first major Spanish town, and in 1818 the island became part of the partido of Catarman. On 1 May 1871 Mount Vulcan Daan erupted and destroyed the town, part of which sank into the sea; the ruins of its church, convent and bell tower remain.[11, 12, 13]

American troops landed in 1901, and Valero Camaro was shot dead leading islanders armed with bolos and spears against them at Catarman. Japanese forces landed on 18 June 1942 and set up a government at Mambajao, whose centre they destroyed in reprisal for guerrilla activity.[11]

Mount Hibok-Hibok rumbled from 1948 to 1951. On 4 December 1951 it erupted, laying waste nearly 19 square kilometres, mostly around Mambajao, and killing over 3,000 people; the island's population fell from 69,000 to about 34,000 as people left.[11, 12]

Long part of Misamis, the island was made a sub-province of Misamis Oriental in 1957, with its seat at Mambajao, and a province on 18 June 1966. The law had its first officials elected in November 1967, and it was formally inaugurated in 1968.[9, 14, 15, 16]

It keeps 7 January as Araw ng Camiguin, its charter day, a holiday by a law of 2001 and a non-working one since 2003. The 58th Camiguin Day was celebrated in 2026.[17, 18, 19, 20]
