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[30]

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.

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

Life & Economy

About 43 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
43.2% of people[19]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 43 of every 100 people in Gen. S.K. Pendatun lived below the poverty line in 2021 (43.2%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 33.9% and 52.5%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 3 of the region's first assembly created the municipality of General Salipada K. Pendatun out of a northern part of Buluan; the province's own history of Buluan dates the new town to 7 April 1991.[9, 10]

How it got its name

The town shares its name with Salipada K. Pendatun (1912 to 1985), a lawyer, wartime guerrilla leader, governor of Cotabato, senator and congressman; his tomb is in the town and the National Historical Commission put a biographical marker there.[11]

Its story

The province's history of Buluan says the town was carved out of Buluan's northern part in 1991.[9, 10]

In 2021 Republic Act 11550 split Maguindanao in two and placed the town in the new province of Maguindanao del Sur.[12]

The province's own history says a plebiscite on the division of Maguindanao was held on 17 September 2022.[13]
