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[31]

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.

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

How it got its name

Local traditionLocal legend says that in Spanish times the place was called Tagnipa for its many nipa plants. When hunger struck the province, only Tagnipa kept producing corn and vegetables, so the people renamed it El Salvador, 'the Saviour'.[9]

Its story

El Salvador began as a barrio of the old Municipality of Cagayan de Oro.[9]

Republic Act No. 268 separated the barrios of El Salvador and Molugan, with seven sitios, from Cagayan and made them a municipality. The city's own page says it began functioning on August 2, 1948.[9, 10]
