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 I[42]

Two seasons: dry from November to April, wet for the rest of the year, with the heaviest rain from June to September.

Covers about 91 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

Antique's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Antique in Now

Created
Made a province of its own in 1790 or 1796, as the sources differ, with its capital at San José de Buenavista from 1802; its provincial government was set up under Act No. 114, enacted 13 April 1901[9, 10, 11, 12]

How it got its name

The name comes from Hamtic, the village where the Augustinians founded the first parish on this coast in 1581: the Spaniards spelled it Hantique, and with the h silent it became Antique, the name the town itself still bore in 1902.[9, 11, 14]

Local traditionThe province's current page traces the name to hantik, the black ant.[13]

Its story

Local traditionIn the legend the province tells, the ten Bornean datus first docked their balangays at Malandog, in Hamtic. The Binirayan Festival re-enacts the settlers' arrival every year.[13, 15, 16]

Legazpi granted the village of Hamtic as an encomienda in 1572, and in 1581 the Augustinians made Hantique (Hamtic) a mission, the first village they founded as a parish in this part of Panay. The province marked four hundred years of Christianity in 1981.[9, 11, 17]

Sources differSources differ on when Antique, carved from Iloilo and Capiz, became a province of its own: two national historical markers give 1790, while the province's own 2010 page, like Iloilo's history, gives 1796. The markers and that page name Hamtic or Bugasong as the capital until 1802, when, they agree, it moved to San José de Buenavista.[9, 10, 11, 18]

General Leandro Fullon, one of the leaders of the First Republic's expeditionary force in Panay in September 1898, freed towns across Antique. A United States command formed at Iloilo on 2 January 1900 crossed into the province and occupied its capital, San José de Buenavista. Fullon, who led Antique against the American army in February 1899, surrendered to the Americans on 22 March 1901.[14, 19]

Act No. 114 set up Antique's civil government on 13 April 1901, keeping San José as its capital, and Fullon, born in Hamtic, became its first Filipino governor that April, serving until his death in 1904. In 1903 its twenty towns were merged into eleven.[12, 19, 20]

Evelio B. Javier, governor of Antique from 1972 to 1980, was killed in San José on 11 February 1986 while guarding the count of the snap presidential election. Since 1992 the day has been Governor Evelio B. Javier Day, a holiday in Antique, Capiz, Aklan and Iloilo.[21, 22, 23]
