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[34]

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.

Life & Economy

About 27 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
27.2% of people[22]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 27 of every 100 people in Midsayap lived below the poverty line in 2021 (27.2%)[22]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 24.6% and 29.7%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

Created
Executive Order No. 66 of 25 November 1936 turned the municipal district of Libungan and the northern part of Dulawan into the independent municipality of Midsayap, seated at the barrio of Midsayap. The order took effect on the first day of January of the next year.[9, 10]

Its story

On the eve of the Second World War, the province of Cotabato had just three municipalities, and Midsayap was one of them.[10]

Midsayap and Dulawan were created together, by Executive Order No. 66 of 25 November 1936.[9, 10]

The province's own history says Muslim forces under Datu Alamada and Datu Ali made a strong stand at Midsayap against the American advance, and that this hastened the coming of General Leonard Wood.[10]

The same page says the children and kin of early settlers later moved west from Pikit to Midsayap.[10]

Pigkawayan was cut out of Midsayap's barrios in 1953, and Libungan took more of its barrios in 1961.[11, 12]
