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 91 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 9 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
8.8% of people[20]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

1st class[4]
About 9 of every 100 people in Maddela lived below the poverty line in 2021 (8.8%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 7.2% and 10.4%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Its story

The provincial government says Maddela was one of three towns (with Aglipay and Diffun) established on 11 November 1950 under Executive Order No. 368.[9]

In 1966 Maddela became one of the four towns of the new Subprovince of Quirino.[10]

In 1983 thirteen Maddela barangays were separated to form the new municipality of Nagtipunan.[11]

Today Maddela is a first-class municipality in the southeast of Quirino and the province's second largest town, known for corn, rice, peanut, banana and cassava.[12]

Local traditionFolklore says Governor's Rapids on the Cagayan River in Maddela was named for a Japanese governor general who disappeared in its waters during the Second World War.[12]

Timeline

  1. 18 June 1966

    Republic Act No. 4734 placed Maddela in the Subprovince of Quirino.[10]

  2. 25 February 1983
