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^[33]

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

Covers about 86 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 12 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: 12.0% 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 12 of every 100 people in Lipa City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (12.0%)^[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 10.2% and 13.9%, with 90% confidence.

Government & Leaders

A mayor leads Lipa City. Its local laws, called ordinances, are passed by the Sangguniang Panlungsod (the city council), led by the vice mayor. The mayor, the vice mayor and the council's elected members serve three-year terms, and none may serve more than three in a row.^{[13, 14]}

City classCity classA highly urbanized city or an independent component city governs itself apart from the province around it: its voters do not elect the governor. A component city is part of its province.More in the glossary: Component city^[4]
Legislative districtLegislative districtThe area that elects one member of the House of Representatives. A big province or city may have several.More in the glossary: 6th district of Batangas^{[18, 19]}

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

All Stories

Official name: City of Lipa^[4]
Created: Republic Act No. 162, approved 20 June 1947, created the City of Lipa from the existing municipality of Lipa.^[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe city's history page gives several tales of how Lipa got its name: a hardwood tree called lipa that grew there, a Malayan boat called lipa, or the statue of San Sebastian carved from lipa wood.^[11]

Its story

Tagbakin, made the first settlement of the Lipeños by Augustinian missionaries after the Spaniards arrived, was turned into a regular municipality in 1702, and its first capitan or gobernadorcillo was Geronimo de los Santos.^[11]

Eruptions of Taal Volcano in 1724 and 1754 drove the townspeople to move, first to Lumang Lipa and then to Balete, and in the late 1750s they settled at the present site.^[11]

Coffee seedlings were first planted in 1784 by Capitan Francisco Mantuano in his own backyard.^[11]

In 1887 the Queen Regent of Spain raised the town to 'Villa de Lipa'.^[11]

The city's history page says about 12,000 civilians were killed in Lipa during the Japanese occupation, according to a Tokyo-based group it cites.^[11]

Lipa was inaugurated as a chartered city on 31 August 1947, and Esteban Mayo was its first appointed mayor.^[12]

Miguel K. Lina was the city's first elected mayor, serving from 1960 to 1969.^[12]
