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
53.2% of people[18]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

History & Identity

Created
Executive Order No. 205 of President Elpidio Quirino, dated 4 March 1949, organised barrios, sitios and islands of Caramoan into an independent municipality, first named Anderson, with its seat at the barrio of San Miguel.[9]

How it got its name

The town was first called Anderson. Executive Order No. 218 of 28 May 1949 changed the name to Garchitorena. The order gives no reason.[10]

Its story

Garchitorena was formed in 1949 from part of Caramoan. The order said it would begin once its mayor, vice-mayor and a majority of councillors were appointed and qualified.[9]

Less than three months later it was renamed Garchitorena.[10]

Timeline

  1. 4 March 1949

    Executive Order No. 205 organised the municipality out of Caramoan under the name Anderson.[9]

  2. 28 May 1949

    Executive Order No. 218 renamed the municipality Garchitorena.[10]
