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[31]

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

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 32 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
31.8% of people[19]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 32 of every 100 people in Malimono lived below the poverty line in 2021 (31.8%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 26.2% and 37.4%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Executive Order No. 195, signed July 31, 1956 by President Ramon Magsaysay on the recommendation of the Surigao Provincial Board, created the municipality of Malimono from the southern part of the municipality of Surigao; it was to begin to exist once its first officials were appointed and qualified and the Secretary of Finance certified it financially capable.[9]

Its story

Local traditionThe town's own history names the Mamanwa as the early inhabitants of Malimono; more than thirty Mamanwa families live today in a settlement in Barangay Binocaran organized by the municipal government.[11]

Local traditionThe municipal website says Malimono was presumably discovered by the Spaniards, and that its marine and land resources drew traders from Leyte and Bohol.[11]

Local traditionBefore 1956 Malimono was a barrio of the town of Surigao; the municipal website says it was organized as a barrio on February 13, 1924, and that residents pushed for municipal status in the early 1950s.[11]

The new municipality began with four barrios (Malimono, Masgad, Cantapoy and Pili) and nine sitios, and started functioning officially on October 16, 1956 when its first appointed officials were installed.[9, 11]
