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[29]

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 26 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
25.8% 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 26 of every 100 people in Laua-An lived below the poverty line in 2021 (25.8%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 22.4% and 29.3%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

Created
The town's own history says Laua-an was recognized as a municipality on 1 January 1915 under Executive Order No. 129 of Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison.[9]

Its story

The town's own history says Laua-an, formerly called Nalupa Nuevo, was already a pueblo before the Spanish-American war, with Capitan Luis Sarmiento as its first Capitan del Pueblo.[9]

When the American army burned Barbaza's municipal building during the Filipino-American War, Barbaza's government moved to Laua-an and Barbaza became part of Laua-an.[9]

Residents of the poblacion and Guisijan then petitioned to have Laua-an reorganized and offered to build the municipal building at their own expense, leading to its recognition as a municipality on 1 January 1915.[9]

Timeline

  1. 1 June 1908

    Seat of government moved from Laua-an to Barbaza (Executive Order No. 14).[9]

  2. 1 January 1915

    Laua-an recognized as a municipality again (Executive Order No. 129).[9]

Nearby

Laua-An shares a border with Barbaza, Bugasong, Jamindan and Tapaz.
