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 II[31]

No dry season. The rain is heaviest from December to February, and no month is truly dry.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 36 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
36.0% 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
1st class[4]
About 36 of every 100 people in Goa lived below the poverty line in 2021 (36.0%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 32.0% and 40.1%, with 90% confidence.

Government & Leaders

A mayor leads Goa. Its local laws, called ordinances, are passed by the Sangguniang Bayan (the municipal council), led by the vice mayor. The mayor, the vice mayor and the council's elected members serve three-year terms, and none may serve more than three in a row.[12, 13]

History & Identity

Its story

In 1903 Goa was one of the municipalities of Ambos Camarines that the Philippine Commission kept, with its existing boundaries, when it reduced the province from forty-three municipalities to thirty-five.[9]

In 1956 the sitio of Maymatan was made a regular barrio of Goa by executive order.[10]

Timeline

  1. 23 October 1903

    Philippine Commission Act No. 959 of 23 October 1903 cut the forty-three municipalities of Ambos Camarines to thirty-five. It kept Goa as a municipality within its existing boundaries.[9]

  2. 28 March 1956

    Executive Order No. 172 created the barrio of Maymatan in Goa.[10]

  3. 21 June 1959
