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.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 14 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
13.8% 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 14 of every 100 people in Tuba lived below the poverty line in 2021 (13.8%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 11.2% and 16.5%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Executive Order No. 42, 25 June 1963, declared the municipal district of Tuba (among many others) a regular municipality under Republic Act No. 1515.[9, 10]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town's own history says the place was generally called Kafagway, meaning a stem or grassy clearing, because of the thick trees and shrubs. It does not explain the change to Tuba.[10]

Its story

Local traditionThe municipality says there is no written Spanish-era history and that Tuba is believed to have existed long before the Spaniards came; elders passed this down.[10]

In the early American period Tuba was part of the Baguio Township; when Baguio became a chartered city the township under Caburon Sungduan continued as the Township of Twin Peaks.[10]

The town's profile says an official headcount counted 2,764 people on 31 December 1918.[12]
