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[29]

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

Covers about 82 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 42 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
42.1% of people[17]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
1st class[4]
About 42 of every 100 people in Lake Sebu lived below the poverty line in 2021 (42.1%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 35.1% and 49.1%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Batas Pambansa Blg. 249, approved on 11 November 1982, separated barangays and settlements of T'Boli and Surallah and made them the independent Municipality of Lake Sebu in South Cotabato.[9]

Its story

The law set the seat of government at the existing barangay of Lake Sebu.[9]

The new municipality's territory included the Tasaday Manobo Blit reservation, which had been set aside by Presidential Proclamation No. 995.[9]

The Act made the town depend on a plebiscite in the affected areas within 120 days; after ratification the President would appoint its first mayor and officials.[9]
