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 10 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: 9.9% of people^[21]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 10 of every 100 people in Panabo City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (9.9%)^[21]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 8.5% and 11.4%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

Stories from Davao Region

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

Official name: City of Panabo^[4]
Created: Republic Act No. 9015, approved 28 February 2001, converted the Municipality of Panabo into a component city, the City of Panabo. The charter says the city acquires corporate existence when voters ratify it in a plebiscite.^[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe city government says Panabo comes from the Aeta phrase "pana-sa-boboy"; "pana" means arrow, and the early Aeta hunted wild animals with bows and arrows. This is given as local tradition.^[10]

Its story

The city website says settlers from the Visayas and Luzon began arriving in the early 1900s.^[11]

Local traditionThe first settlers, according to the city website, found a thriving community in what is now the urban core and called it Taboan, meaning trading center.^[11]

Panabo was organized as a municipality from the western part of Tagum by Executive Order No. 236 of 1 July 1949.^[12]

The Tagum Agricultural Development Company (TADECO) was founded in Panabo on 20 December 1950, according to the city website, and its banana plantation drew large numbers of Visayan migrants.^[11]

In 1966 Carmen was separated from Panabo as its own municipality.^[13]

Republic Act No. 9015 (2001) converted Panabo into a component city.^[9]
