Life & Economy

About 14 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
13.8% 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
3rd class[4]
About 14 of every 100 people in Lagangilang lived below the poverty line in 2021 (13.8%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 8.1% and 19.5%, with 90% confidence.

The PSA says caution must be observed in using this estimate: read it as a rough guide only.

History & Identity

How it got its name

Local traditionAccording to legend, the name joins the words ilang-ilang, a sweet-scented flowering tree common in the town, and lagam, meaning bravery, after a famous Tinguian leader called Lagam.[9]

Its story

The provincial page says Lagangilang became a municipal district in 1908, from a small settlement of Tinguians called Itnegs, and a full-fledged municipality in 1918; a first missionary station was set up in 1910.[9]

Late in the Spanish period traders from Ilocos Sur sailed up the Abra River to barter goods for land, and Ilocano settlers founded communities such as Aguet, Presentar and Nagtupacan.[9]

Timeline

  1. 1908

    Lagangilang became a municipal district.[9]

  2. 1918

    Lagangilang became a full municipality.[9]

  3. 6 June 1966
