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[28]

Rain spread fairly evenly through the year, with no dry season.

Covers about 93 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 51 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
51.5% of people[16]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 51 of every 100 people in South Upi lived below the poverty line in 2021 (51.5%)[16]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 41.6% and 61.3%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Created by Presidential Decree No. 1011 of President Marcos, dated 22 September 1976, from barangays of the Municipality of Upi, with the seat at Barangay Looy.[9]

How it got its name

The province profile says the municipal secretary of Upi proposed the name South Upi, replacing the proposed name Teduray Municipality, and most councilors supported it.[10]

Its story

According to the province profile, Teduray leaders wanted a separate municipality because Tedurays had been steadily driven out of lowland areas of Dinaig (Datu Odin Sinsuat).[10]

The Teduray Welfare Association led a petition for a separate municipality.[10]

The petition was approved by President Marcos through P.D. 1011 on 22 September 1976, and the lead petitioner was appointed first mayor.[10]

Eleven barangays of Upi, namely Itaw, San Jose, Pilar, Basak (Upi side), Romongaob, Pandan, Kigan, Lamud, Biarong, Bongo and Looy, were taken by the decree.[9]
