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[30]

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

Covers about 61 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 22 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
22.4% of people[18]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 22 of every 100 people in Tupi lived below the poverty line in 2021 (22.4%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 18.5% and 26.2%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

Created
Tupi was created as a municipality of Cotabato, together with Baga, by Executive Order No. 612 dated 11 September 1953; it was carved out of barrios and sitios of Koronadal.[8]

Its story

The Japanese Imperial Army was present in the locality during the war, but no major battle was recorded there.[10]

Tupi was first a barangay of Koronadal, which became a municipality by Executive Order No. 82 of 12 August 1947. Six years later Tupi became independent by Executive Order No. 612 signed by President Elpidio Quirino on 11 September 1953.[8, 10]

The first appointed municipal officials were sworn in on 2 October 1953, and Tupi began as a fifth-class municipality; 11 September is kept as its foundation day.[10]

In 1969 the Municipality of Tampakan was created out of Tupi territory, according to the town timeline.[10]
