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.

Life & Economy

About 18 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
18.3% of people[19]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
3rd class[4]
About 18 of every 100 people in Loboc lived below the poverty line in 2021 (18.3%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 14.8% and 21.8%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Loboc's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Loboc in Now

Created
No law or decree created Loboc. The town says Fr. Juan de Torres established it on 29 June 1597 under the encomendera Dona Catalina de Bolanos.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town says Loboc (lubok) means a deep part of a river where people hid, especially from pirate attack.[9]

Its story

The Jesuits Gabriel Sanchez and Juan de Torres reached Baclayon on 17 November 1596. About six months later Torres went up the Loboc River with Chief Juan Batto of Hinawanan.[9]

Local chiefs helped build a wooden church and convent by the river, dedicated to St. Peter. Torres gathered nearly 3,000 people around it and named a constable to keep order.[9]

Sources differThe town page dates the founding to 29 June 1597, the feast day of St. Peter.[9]

Sources differThe provincial page, citing the historian Horacio de la Costa, says Fr. Juan de Torres founded Loboc in 1602 after persuading the people to settle at a site they chose.[11]
