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[32]

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

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

Life & Economy

About 23 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
23.0% of people[20]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[5]
About 23 of every 100 people in Kapalong lived below the poverty line in 2021 (23.0%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 17.9% and 28.1%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Executive Order No. 151 of President Elpidio Quirino, dated 8 July 1948, organized the municipal district of Kapalong into a regular municipality of the same name, effective 1 August 1948.[10]

Its story

Kapalong was a municipal district of the Province of Davao until 1948, when it was organized into a regular municipality with its seat at the existing poblacion.[10]

When Panabo was carved out of Tagum in 1949, the boundary text named Kapalong and Saug as the municipalities lying to the north, so Kapalong already bordered Tagum.[12]
