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[30]

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

Covers about 73 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 30 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
30.2% 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
3rd class[4]
About 30 of every 100 people in Tagana-An lived below the poverty line in 2021 (30.2%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 24.3% and 36.1%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Republic Act No. 194, approved 22 June 1947, separated the barrios of Tagana-an, Banban, Talavera and Opong and four sitios from Placer and made them the municipality of Tagana-an, Province of Surigao. It took effect upon approval.[9]

Its story

A municipality named Taganaan already appears in the 1903 Act that reduced Surigao's municipalities, which said it would keep its present boundaries.[10]

The 1947 Act said the President would appoint the first elective officials of the new municipality.[9]

Timeline

  1. 22 October 1903

    Act No. 953 listed Taganaan among the municipalities of Surigao province that kept their boundaries.[10]

  2. 22 June 1947

    Republic Act No. 194 created the municipality of Tagana-an from Placer.[9]

Nearby

Tagana-An shares a border with Surigao City, Placer and Sison.
