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

Life & Economy

About 17 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: 17.2% of people^[18]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 17 of every 100 people in Maco lived below the poverty line in 2021 (17.2%)^[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 14.4% and 19.9%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

Stories from Davao Region

Maco has no Story of its own yet. This one is about Davao Region, which Maco is part of.

Film, 0:59
Davao Region
Davao Region: the name the river gave back
Davao was once Nueva Vergara. Its people asked for the river's name, which the city's history traces to Bagobo words. Davao became official in 1868 and names the whole region today.
Why It's Called That

All Stories

Created: Republic Act No. 4975, approved on 17 June 1967, separated Maco and about sixty other barrios and sitios from Mabini, Davao, and constituted them the Municipality of Maco, seated at Barrio Maco.^[9]

Its story

An executive order of 29 October 1964 had already created the municipality of Maco out of Mabini territory, with its seat at the barrio of Maco.^[10]

Congress then enacted the same municipality into law as R.A. 4975 in 1967.^[9]

Timeline

29 October 1964
Executive Order No. 128 created the Municipality of Maco from territory of Mabini.^[10]
