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 III^[32]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Covers about 56 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

About 6 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: 6.2% of people^[20]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 6 of every 100 people in Batangas City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (6.2%)^[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 5.2% and 7.3%, with 90% confidence.

The PSA rates this estimate's reliability as acceptable rather than high: read it as a guide.

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 City 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.

Everything listed for Batangas City in Now

Created: Republic Act No. 5495, approved on 21 June 1969, created Batangas City from the territory of the Municipality of Batangas. It is the city charter. The earlier municipality dates to the Spanish period.^[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe city's website says the settlement was first called Batangan, after the many big logs in the Calumpang River, which the local people called batang. The name changed to Batangas in 1601.^[11]

Its story

The city website says Spanish missionaries found the place in 1572 and that it was founded in 1581. It says the name Batangan became Batangas in 1601 and that Agustin Kasilao was appointed the first gobernadorcillo.^[11]

After eruptions of Taal Volcano buried the old Taal town site, the provincial capital was moved to Batangas in 1754, and it has stayed there since.^[12]

American civil government was inaugurated in the town on 4 July 1901. The municipal hall was inaugurated on 19 June 1909.^[11]

Batangas became a city under Republic Act No. 5495 of 21 June 1969, and the city government was formally organised on 23 July 1969, which the city marks each year as its foundation day.^[11]
