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[30]

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

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

Life & Economy

About 22 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
22.2% 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 22 of every 100 people in Barbaza lived below the poverty line in 2021 (22.2%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 19.2% and 25.1%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

How it got its name

The town's own history says the town was moved from Nalupa Viejo (then called Jinalinan) to Otngol, which was called Barbaza after the governor, written Barboza.[10]

Its story

The town's own history says the town was moved in 1859 from Nalupa Viejo to Otngol, probably on the order of Governor Barboza of Antique.[10]

In 1898 revolutionary forces (the insurrectos) came to Barbaza from Culasi during the uprising against Spain.[10]

In 1901, after fighting at Labangan, American soldiers burned the churches, convents and houses in the barrios, the town's account says, because no principal of the town obeyed the American commandant's summons.[10]

An American-ordered election made Justiniano Barrientos the town head for 1901 to 1903.[10]

In 1903 Barbaza was joined with Laua-an and Guisijan into one municipality, with Laua-an as the town proper.[10]

The municipal building was moved from Laua-an to Barbaza in 1909 during Capitan Barrientos's term.[10]

When war broke out in 1941 army officers ordered public buildings and private houses destroyed; American forces liberated Antique in 1944.[10]
