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 III[32]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Covers about 89 of every 100 parts of its land. Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 31 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
30.9% 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[4]
About 31 of every 100 people in Datu Odin Sinsuat lived below the poverty line in 2021 (30.9%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 24.5% and 37.4%, with 90% confidence.

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

Executive Order No. 82 of August 18, 1947 organised ten municipalities in Cotabato province, including Dinaig, the town now called Datu Odin Sinsuat. It took in the former municipal districts of Dinaig, Awang and Salaman.[9, 10]

How it got its name

The town was called Dinaig until Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 29 renamed it the Municipality of Datu Odin Sinsuat.[10]

Its story

Dinaig was organised in 1947 from the municipal districts of Dinaig, Awang and Salaman, while the order also reorganised certain barrios or sitios of Dulawan.[9]

In 1950 the seat of government was moved from Nuro to the sitio of Capiton.[12]

In December 1955 forty-two named places, beginning with Nuro, were taken from Dinaig and given to the newly created municipality of Upi.[13]

The seat of government was moved once more in 1965, this time from the barrio of Capiton to Dalican barrio.[14]
