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 II[29]

No dry season. The rain is heaviest from December to February, and no month is truly dry.

Life & Economy

About 33 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
33.2% of people[17]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

About 33 of every 100 people in Maydolong lived below the poverty line in 2021 (33.2%)[17]

History & Identity

Created
Republic Act No. 609 of 1 May 1951 separated thirteen barrios from Borongan to form the municipality of Maydolong, seat in barrio Maydolong; it became law without the President's approval.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe provincial page says the story officially accepted by the Sangguniang Bayan is that fishermen travelling to Matnog said "Matnog it Dolong", meaning the bow must point to Matnog, which shortened to Maydolong. The page says there are two stories but gives only this one.[10]

Its story

The new municipality was carved out of barrios that had belonged to Borongan.[9]
