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^[33]

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.

Life & Economy

About 19 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: 18.6% of people^[20]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 19 of every 100 people in Surallah lived below the poverty line in 2021 (18.6%)^[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 14.6% and 22.5%, with 90% confidence.

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

All Stories

Created: Surallah was created as a municipality of Cotabato by Republic Act No. 3420, approved June 18, 1961, out of barrios of Banga; Republic Act No. 3664 of June 22, 1963 amended its first section and moved its seat to Barrio Ten and Barrio Eleven (Libertad).^{[9, 10]}

Its story

Settlement began in the mid-1950s under government resettlement agencies, and a townsite plan for the Banga Base Compound was approved on December 15, 1957 over the objection of Banga's officials.^[12]

The town was inaugurated on September 20, 1963 with appointed officials.^[12]

The creation of T'boli in 1974 took six barrios from Surallah.^[12]
