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 11 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
11.0% 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
2nd class[4]
About 11 of every 100 people in Padada lived below the poverty line in 2021 (11.0%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 8.3% and 13.7%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Padada's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Padada in Now

Its story

The 1949 order organized Padada from the southern part of Santa Cruz, bounded on the north by the new municipality of Digos, on the south by the Santa Rosa and Malita boundary, and on the west by the Cotabato-Davao boundary.[9]

The order named 18 barrios for Padada, among them Limonso (the seat of government), Padada, Bolton, Matin-aw, Hagonoy, Sulop and Balalan.[9]

Republic Act No. 1008, approved June 12, 1954, fixed Padada's boundaries (the Padada River on the north and the Balasinon River on the south) and repealed conflicting executive orders.[10]

In 1958 the barrio of Sulop and adjacent barrios and sitios were taken out of Padada to form the new municipality of Sulop, and Padada kept its territory minus that portion.[11]

In 1967 the old Province of Davao was split and Padada became part of Davao del Sur.[12]

Timeline

  1. July 1, 1949

    Executive Order No. 236 organizes Padada, Digos and Panabo as municipalities of Davao.[9]

  2. June 12, 1954

    Republic Act No. 1008 defines the boundaries of Padada.[10]

  3. April 24, 1958

    Executive Order No. 295 separates Sulop from Padada as a new municipality.[11]

  4. May 8, 1967

    Republic Act No. 4867 divided the old Province of Davao into three; Davao del Sur was one of them, and the new provinces began functioning on July 1, 1967.[12]
