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^[34]

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

Covers about 65 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.

Life & Economy

Batangas's economy made ₱842.0 billion of goods and services in 2025, ₱279,982 for each person. About 8 of every 100 people lived below the poverty line in 2023.

Economy, 2025Gross domestic productThe value of all the goods and services made in a place in a year: the size of its economy. The PSA measures it for every region, province and highly urbanized city. Counted at 2018 prices, it leaves out the rise in prices, so one year can be set beside another.More in the glossary: ₱842.0 billion^[19]Its gross domestic product at current prices; ₱713.2 billion at 2018 prices.

Poverty, 2023Poverty 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: 7.6% of people^[22]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's survey.
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^[5]

About 8 of every 100 people in Batangas lived below the poverty line in 2023 (7.6%)^[22]

The PSA's survey puts it between 5.2% and 10.0%, with 95% confidence. The poverty line was ₱35,380 a person for the year.

The PSA notes: Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2023 poverty incidence among population should be used with caution.

CALABARZON
CALABARZON: every name was something else
CALABARZON is made of five province names, and most of them changed. Batangas was Kumintang, then Taal; Quezon was Kalilayan, then Tayabas. Cavite's hook story is told as a tradition.
Why It's Called That

And from Luzon, which Batangas 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.

Created: Counted by the province from 8 December 1581, the founding date a provincial ordinance of 2008 declared; its civil government was set up under Act No. 126, enacted 2 May 1901^{[10, 11]}

How it got its name

Local traditionThe province's own account derives Batangan, or Batangas, from batang, the old word for the many logs found in the Calumpang River, which runs through the northeast of Batangas town in the shape of a tuning fork.^[12]

The province was first known as Kumintang, or Coumintan, a name it still gives to a song and dance of its own.^[12]

Later it took the name of its capital: when the seat moved to Taal in 1732 the whole province was called Taal, and when it moved to Batangan in 1754 the province took that name.^[13]

Its story

People lived along the Pansipit River long before Spain came; relics, stone tools, jewellery and old pottery found in the province point to contact with China and other neighbours.^[12]

The early province was larger than today's: it took in Mindoro, Marinduque and parts of Laguna and Ambos Camarines. A provincial ordinance of 2008 declared 8 December 1581 its founding date, and the province celebrates the day every year, the feast of the Immaculate Conception.^{[10, 12, 14, 15]}

Balayan was its capital for 135 years, from 1597 to 1732, when the seat moved to Taal. After eruptions of Taal Volcano buried the old town of Taal, the capital moved in 1754 to Batangas, now a city, where it has stayed.^[12]

Batangas gave the revolution Apolinario Mabini, Marcela Agoncillo, who made the Philippine flag, and General Miguel Malvar, the last Filipino general to surrender to the Americans.^[12]

The Philippine Commission organized its civil government on 2 May 1901, with the capital at Batangas, and the Americans installed José Villanueva as its civil governor.^{[11, 12]}
