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[30]

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

Life & Economy

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
27.2% of people[18]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

History & Identity

Its story

Under American rule Salay was reduced to a barrio and merged with Jasaan and Lagonglong under Balingasag; a civic group, El Progreso Salayano led by Bruno Salvana, campaigned for a separate municipality.[10]

The first appointed municipal president was Quirico Ymut Soldevilla.[10]

Nearby

Salay shares a border with Binuangan, Claveria, Lagonglong and Sugbongcogon.
