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[32]

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 11 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
10.7% 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
3rd class[4]
About 11 of every 100 people in Calaca City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (10.7%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 8.1% and 13.3%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Official name
City of Calaca[4]
Created
Republic Act No. 11544, approved on 26 May 2021, converted the municipality of Calaca into the component city of Calaca. The city came into being when voters ratified it in a plebiscite; the city website dates this to 3 September 2022. This is the charter; the municipality itself dates from 1835.[9, 10]

How it got its name

Sources differOne account on the city website says the name comes from the greeting 'Kalaka' ('fellow tribesmen'), used by ten datus who fled Borneo and later met kin on the islands.[10]

Sources differA second account on the same page says Spaniards asked natives building a nipa hut the name of the place. The natives thought they were asked what they were doing and answered 'Kalaka', after the split-bamboo 'laka' roofing.[10]

Its story

Rufino Punungbayan was the first gobernadorcillo, serving in 1835 to 1836. The founders worried about the site, which lay between two ravines, and chose a wide plain for the present poblacion.[10]

Japanese soldiers first arrived in Calaca in mid-January 1942. The occupation lasted until 6 March 1945, when American forces and guerrilla units entered the town, and the town website says the war did little damage there.[10]

After the war the Huk movement reached remote barrios, where villagers took up arms against it. The city website says the movement in Calaca was suppressed.[10]

The town's cityhood bid began on 11 July 2017 with a letter to its district congresswoman. Congress passed the conversion bill, it became Republic Act No. 11544, and Calaca became a city after the plebiscite.[10]
