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 IV^[31]

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

Covers about 81 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 30 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: 30.1% 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: 4th class^[4]

About 30 of every 100 people in Culaba lived below the poverty line in 2021 (30.1%)^[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 25.9% and 34.3%, with 90% confidence.

All Stories

Created: Executive Order No. 630, signed by President Quirino on 16 October 1953, created the municipality of Culaba from five barrios of Caibiran.^[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe new settlement took its name from the legendary Culaba brooks near its second site.^[10]

Its story

The pueblo existed by the 1899 revolution on the north side of the Amambahag River, called Binongto-an, and flooding led it to move south.^[10]

In 1901 raiders called pulahans from Samar burned the place; it was then annexed to Caibiran as a barrio.^[10]

After the war, leaders campaigned for a decade for township, and EO 630 created the municipality in 1953; it was inaugurated 16 January 1954.^[10]

Act 954 of 1903 had earlier merged a municipality of Culaba into Caibiran.^[11]
