Life & Economy

About 15 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: 15.5% of people^[24]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: 1st class^[4]

About 15 of every 100 people in Daraga lived below the poverty line in 2021 (15.5%)^[24]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 13.2% and 17.7%, with 90% confidence.

Stories that tell of Daraga

Daraga is part of this Story, told from its own place.

Bicol Region
Bicol Region: the day Mayon moved a town
Tradition says Bicol is named for a bending river. On 1 February 1814 Mayon buried Cagsawa; the town moved to Daraga, and in 1914 the Bicol Region made a pilgrimage to the ruins.
Why It's Called That

And from Luzon, which Daraga is part of:

Luzon
Is Luzon named after a rice mortar?
They say Luzon is named after the lusong, the wooden mortar for pounding rice. The oldest records, from Ming China to Pigafetta's word list, leave a strange clue, but no record of a naming.

Former name: Locsin^[4]

Its story

The municipality's own profile says Daraga was first called Cagsawa and was settled by Malay migrants long before the Spanish came.^[10]

Franciscan missionaries took over the area in 1587.^[10]

Mayon Volcano erupted in 1814 and buried Cagsawa; survivors moved to higher ground and founded what is now Daraga.^[10]

Sources differA journal study of Albay's old churches says the move of Cagsawa to Daraga was ordered in 1772, before the 1814 eruption, which differs from the common story told on the town's page.^[11]

In 1907 an Act merged Albay, Daraga and Legaspi into a single municipality called Albay.^[12]

Republic Act No. 306 of 1948 placed Daraga inside the new City of Legaspi. The town's profile says it regained independence as a municipality in 1954.^{[10, 13]}

Congress renamed the town Locsin in 1959 and restored the name Daraga in 1967.^{[14, 15]}
