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[32]

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

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
4th class[4]
About 12 of every 100 people in Baclayon lived below the poverty line in 2021 (12.0%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 8.3% and 15.7%, with 90% confidence.

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

Everything listed for Baclayon in Now

How it got its name

Local traditionThe provincial profile says the original name was Bacayan, from bacay, meaning detour around a rocky cliff on the shore.[10]

Its story

The town's About page says Baclayon was the first municipality the Spaniards established in Bohol, once covering what is now Alburquerque, Balilihan, Corella and Sikatuna.[11]

Sources differThe Jesuits Juan de Torres and Gabriel Sanchez began the mission there; the town's About page dates their arrival to 1595 while its anniversary page gives 17 November 1596.[11, 12]

About 300 Maguindanao raiders attacked on 26 October 1600, after which the Jesuit residencia was moved to Loboc.[12]

Baclayon became a parish in 1717; other towns later separated from it, namely Tagbilaran in 1742, Balilihan in 1828, Alburquerque in 1868, Corella in 1884 and Sikatuna in 1917.[12]
