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 III[34]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Life & Economy

About 16 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
15.9% of people[21]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 16 of every 100 people in Lezo lived below the poverty line in 2021 (15.9%)[21]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 12.1% and 19.7%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Lezo's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Lezo in Now

Created
President Manuel L. Quezon's Executive Order No. 364, dated 28 August 1941, segregated the barrio of Lezo from Numancia, Capiz, and organized it as an independent municipality named Lezo. The organization was to take effect on 1 January 1942.[9]

Its story

Local traditionThe town's own history says Lezo began as a barrio of Kalibo called Guicod, which it explains as meaning chock-full of eels. It was also known informally as Tierra Alta, because its centre stayed clear of the great flood of the early nineteenth century.[11]

In 1865 local leaders led by Don Juan Legaspi petitioned the Spanish authorities for independence, and Anacleto G. Ramos was made capitan basal.[11]

Lezo, Numancia and Banga were merged into Kalibo by Act No. 720 of 1903, but according to the town's history, Executive Order No. 58, issued on 31 July 1909, made Lezo independent again as a municipality that counted Numancia among its barrios.[11, 12]

Act No. 3086 of 16 March 1923 changed the name of the municipality of Lezo to Numancia, and the pueblos of Numancia and Lezo, then consolidated, were to be known by that name. Lezo became a barrio again.[13]

Lezo was one of the seventeen municipalities named in the law that created the Province of Aklan in 1956.[14]
