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[19]

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

Covers about 55 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.

History & Identity

Official name
Region IX (Zamboanga Peninsula)[4]
Created
Presidential Decree No. 742 of 7 July 1975 set out Region IX as one of the regional groupings first established under Presidential Decree No. 1, which the decree amended, naming its provinces and cities with Jolo as regional center.[8]

How it got its name

Executive Order No. 36 of 19 September 2001 reorganized Region IX, until then Western Mindanao, to be known as Zamboanga Peninsula.[9]

Local traditionThe Zamboanga City government's history page says early Malay settlers called the area “Jambangan”, meaning Land of the Flowers; the region's name is carried from the place name Zamboanga.[10]

Local traditionThe same account says Samal and Badjao settlers confused Jambangan with Samboangan, and that the Spaniards, finding it hard to say, called the place Zamboanga.[10]

Its story

In 1975 Presidential Decree No. 742 defined Region IX as Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Zamboanga del Sur with the cities of Pagadian and Zamboanga, centred on Jolo.[8]

Executive Order No. 429 of 12 October 1990 reorganized Region IX as Western Mindanao and made Pagadian the regional center, with Zamboanga City remaining the commercial and industrial center.[11]

Republic Act No. 8973, approved 7 November 2000, created the Province of Zamboanga Sibugay out of Zamboanga del Sur.[12]

Executive Order No. 36 of 2001 recited that Basilan, minus Isabela City, and Marawi City had voted to join the autonomous region, which is why the Mindanao regions were redrawn.[9]

From that order the region is called Zamboanga Peninsula.[9]
