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 III[30]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Life & Economy

About 13 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
13.3% 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
1st class[4]
About 13 of every 100 people in Allacapan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (13.3%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 10.5% and 16.2%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Commonwealth Act No. 692, approved 15 October 1945, converted the municipal district of Allacapan into the municipality of Allacapan. The same Act moved seven sitios to Ballesteros.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town hall history page says the name comes from the Ilocano word alla-appan, meaning a trap. In the story, a former municipal president of Aparri heard the word from a Negrito guide while annoyed by rustling dry leaves, and used it to name the place.[10]

Its story

Allacapan began as a small village in the middle of a forest, and its first known inhabitants were Negritos, also called Aetas.[10]

The town page says a lumber business drew other Cagayanos to the area, and that Ilocanos, mostly from Ilocos Sur, later settled and came to dominate it.[10]

Allacapan became an independent municipal district by Executive Order No. 68 of 20 June 1927, which took effect on 1 July 1927.[10]

It became a regular municipality of Cagayan on 15 October 1945 under Commonwealth Act No. 692.[9]

Timeline
