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[31]

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

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
31.9% 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

About 32 of every 100 people in San Miguel lived below the poverty line in 2021 (31.9%)[18]

History & Identity

Created
Executive Order No. 400, signed by President Carlos P. Garcia on 14 July 1960, organized the barrios and sitios of San Miguel and others, formerly of Dinas, into the independent municipality of San Miguel, seat at the barrio of San Miguel.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe municipal profile says the barangay was named after Miguel Ocapan, a settler leader whom the Subanen made their leader with the title "Timuay"; the municipality kept the name.[11]

Its story

The town's ecological profile says San Miguel was originally a sitio of Barangay Libuganan in the municipality of Dinas, and that Subanen were its first inhabitants.[11]

It says Christian settlers began arriving in the second decade of the 20th century, including the Ocapan, Otero, Saladaga and Ramonal clans.[11]

In 1957 Dinas made San Miguel a regular barangay, named for Miguel Ocapan.[11]

Executive Order No. 400 of 14 July 1960 created the municipality, and the town website says formal operation began on 1 September 1960 under the first appointed mayor, Proculo P. Ocapan.[9, 11]
