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 90 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 36 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: 36.1% of people^[22]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 36 of every 100 people in T'Boli lived below the poverty line in 2021 (36.1%)^[22]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 29.9% and 42.2%, with 90% confidence.

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

The municipality was carved from barrios of seven South Cotabato municipalities (Banga, Kiamba, Maasim, Polomolok, Surallah, Maitum and Tupi), about 130,500 hectares.^[13]

The first appointed officials took oath on March 16, 1974, with Mai T. Tuan as mayor, and in 1984 the town was reduced when Lake Sebu was created.^[14]
