Life & Economy

About 8 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
7.8% of people[18]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 8 of every 100 people in Malvar lived below the poverty line in 2021 (7.8%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 5.6% and 10.0%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
By the town's own history page, Malvar was created a municipality by a proclamation of the acting Governor General, Charles B. Yeater, on 16 December 1918; it took effect and the municipality was inaugurated on 10 January 1919.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionBefore that the place was called Luta. A legend says the name came from Luta, a maiden killed after her sister's jealousy; the place was named in her honor.[9]

Its story

Luta, once a barrio of Lipa, took in Payapa, Kalikangan, San Gallo and Bilukaw, its neighbouring barrios, when it became a municipality.[9]

The Samahang Mag-aararo, a farmers' group, was organized in Luta and is called the acknowledged pioneer of the move to make the place a municipality.[9]

Malvar became a municipality through a proclamation dated 16 December 1918, with help from Teodoro M. Kalaw, a former Secretary of the Interior, and was inaugurated on 10 January 1919.[9]
