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[35]

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

Covers about 94 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.

History & Identity

Sarangani's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Sarangani in Now

Created
Created by Republic Act No. 7228, approved 16 March 1992, which separated seven towns from South Cotabato, subject to a plebiscite[9, 10]

How it got its name

The province is named after Sarangani Bay, which takes its name from the two Sarangani islands off the southern tip of Mindanao.[10]

Local traditionThe province's account says the name is reported to come from the Sangir phrase saranganeng, which some link to sarang ene, roughly this is our stopover and place of sojourn.[10]

Its story

On 26 October 1521 the Magellan-Elcano expedition, coasting from Benaian, thought to be Kamanga point in Maasim, rode out a violent storm off Batulaki, in Glan; it left the next day for the Sarangani islands, its last anchorage in the archipelago.[11, 12]

Under American rule Glan was one of the municipal districts of the Moro Province. In 1914 a site beside the Muslim village of Glan, on the east side of Sarangani Bay, was chosen for Colony No. 9, one of the first farming colonies of Christian settlers in Muslim Mindanao.[10]

Kiamba and Glan became towns in 1947 and 1949, and Maitum in 1959. In 1966 they passed with Maasim to the new Province of South Cotabato.[10, 13]

Republic Act No. 7228, authored by Representative James L. Chiongbian and signed on 16 March 1992, made Alabel, Glan, Maasim, Maitum, Malapatan, Malungon and Kiamba the Province of Sarangani, with Alabel as its capital, subject to a plebiscite of their voters.[9, 10]

The province keeps 28 November as its foundation anniversary, marked together with the MunaTo Festival; the 31st fell in 2023. A law of 2025 made the day a special non-working holiday in the province every year.[14, 15, 16]
