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 III[29]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

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

History & Identity

Created
Republic Act No. 1203, approved 30 March 1955, separated the arrabal of Ma-ayon from Pontevedra and created it as the separate Municipality of Ma-ayon, effective on approval.[9]

Its story

In 1903 Ma-ayon existed as its own municipality, and the Philippine Commission merged it into Pontevedra.[10]

When Congress re-created it in 1955 the new municipality was to include the barrios of Ma-ayon, Fernandez, Piña, Balighot, Batabat, Guia, Tuburan and Canapi-an Sur (printed Sun in the Act).[9]

The Act had the President appoint the first officials, who would serve until successors were elected in the next general elections.[9]

Timeline

  1. 4 April 1903

    Act No. 720 merged the municipality of Maayon into Pontevedra.[10]

  2. 30 March 1955
