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 IV^[32]

Rain spread fairly evenly through the year, with no dry season.

Life & Economy

About 22 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: 21.6% 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: 4th class^[4]

About 22 of every 100 people in Almeria lived below the poverty line in 2021 (21.6%)^[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 18.6% and 24.5%, with 90% confidence.

How it got its name

Local traditionSettlers from Jagna, Bohol first called the place Bagongbong, then Solano after their first chieftain, Capitan Solano.^[10]

Local traditionThe provincial site says a Spanish missionary gave the name Almeria in 1834 after his hometown in Spain.^[10]

Its story

The first settlers came from Jagna, Bohol; bound for Samar, a typhoon forced them ashore on fertile land where they stayed.^[10]

Spaniards built a watchtower on Baluarte Hill against raiders, and the province says Almeria became an official municipality in 1886.^[10]

In 1903 Act No. 954 listed Almeria as a municipality that also took in Maripipi.^[11]

Act No. 1616 of 1907 renamed the municipality of Almeria as Kawayan and moved its seat to the barrio of Kawayan.^[12]

Executive Order 162 in 1948 made Almeria independent again, with its seat at the barrio of Almeria.^[9]

Sources differThe provincial site calls the 1948 restoring order Executive Order 292, a number that differs from the law text above.^[10]
