Type III^[32]

Life & Economy

About 31 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: 30.9% of people^[19]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: 1st class^[4]

About 31 of every 100 people in Libungan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (30.9%)^[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 25.8% and 36.0%, with 90% confidence.

The PSA rates this estimate's reliability as acceptable rather than high: read it as a guide.

Stories from SOCCSKSARGEN

Libungan has no Story of its own yet. This one is about SOCCSKSARGEN, which Libungan is part of.

Film, 0:59
SOCCSKSARGEN
SOCCSKSARGEN: five names, one empire province
SOCCSKSARGEN's letters match its provinces and city. Nearly all of it was once one huge province, Cotabato, whose name the province traces to kuta wato, the stone fort.
Why It's Called That

All Stories

Created: Executive Order No. 414, dated 27 January 1961, created the Municipality of Libungan, Cotabato, from barrios of Midsayap and Carmen, with its seat at barrio Cabaruyan; the town website gives its establishment as 7 August 1961.^{[9, 10]}

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town website says Libungan generally refers to the river of the place; Manobo settlers called it "Limbungan", meaning cheater, because the river changed course and damaged farmers' crops.^[10]

Local traditionOther old names recorded by the town are "dadas" (a road down by the river) and "Tubak" (an eroding river).^[10]

Its story

The main group of settlers were Cebuanos from Cebu, and more migrants from Luzon and the Visayas arrived in the early 1930s.^[10]

During the Second World War, Demapaco was a guerrilla hideout and the Libungan River was a battleground; more settlers came after the 1945 liberation.^[10]

In 1955 residents elected to the Midsayap Municipal Council pushed a council resolution asking the provincial and national governments to create a Libungan municipality.^[10]

Libungan was created by Executive Order No. 414 in 1961 and lost some progressive barangays in 1969 when they were merged into the new Municipality of Alamada.^[10]

Fire destroyed commercial establishments on 16 January 1979 and the local government building on 17 February 1986.^[10]
