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 II[29]

No dry season. The rain is heaviest from December to February, and no month is truly dry.

Covers about 93 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
21.7% 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
4th class[4]
About 22 of every 100 people in Hinundayan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (21.7%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 17.2% and 26.1%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

How it got its name

Sources differFirst account (province page): Spanish soldiers saw houses decorated with dyed seashells, asked why, were told 'ang hinungdan niini dayan-dayan' (for decoration), and the name was shortened to Hinundayan.[9]

Sources differSecond account (province page, from old townsfolk): fishermen were building handayanan, frames that keep bancas safe from rising tides, and the Spaniards took the first word as the place name, later shortened to Hinundayan.[9]
