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[33]

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.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 11 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
11.0% 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
3rd class[4]
About 11 of every 100 people in Numancia lived below the poverty line in 2021 (11.0%)[21]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 8.2% and 13.8%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Act No. 3086, approved on 16 March 1923, changed the name of the municipality of Lezo, Capiz, to Numancia. The old pueblos of Numancia and Lezo were then consolidated under that name.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionA Department of Agriculture local assessment says Numancia was founded in 1866 and named after a Spanish general. This is the only account found, and the document does not name the general.[10]

Its story

Under Act No. 720 of 1903, Numancia, Lezo and Banga were added to the municipality of Kalibo (spelled Calibo in the Act).[11]

The Lezo town history says an order of 31 July 1909 made Lezo independent again, with Numancia as one of its barrios. After the 1918 elections the seat of government was moved to Numancia.[12]

In 1923 Act No. 3086 renamed the municipality of Lezo as Numancia.[9]

In 1941 Executive Order No. 364 split the barrio of Lezo from Numancia to form a separate municipality of Lezo, leaving Numancia with the rest of its territory. The change was to take effect on 1 January 1942.[13]

In 1956 Numancia became one of the seventeen municipalities of the new Province of Aklan.[14]
