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[29]

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.

Covers about 52 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 21 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
20.6% 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 21 of every 100 people in Isulan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (20.6%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 16.7% and 24.4%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Isulan was created as a municipality of Cotabato province by Executive Order No. 266 of President Carlos P. Garcia, dated August 30, 1957; the order says it begins to exist once its officials are appointed and the Secretary of Finance certifies it can afford to run.[9]

Its story

The new town was carved out of barrios and sitios of two older municipalities, Datu Piang and Norala, both of Cotabato province.[9]

The order placed the seat of government of Isulan at the barrio of Kalawag.[9]
