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[33]

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 48 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
47.7% 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 48 of every 100 people in Tinambac lived below the poverty line in 2021 (47.7%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 43.0% and 52.4%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

How it got its name

Local traditionA local story says Spanish explorers asked the name of the place and the natives, thinking they were asked about their catch, pointed to a pile of wild boar and deer and said "Tambak na Osa". The Spaniards heard "Tambac".[10]

Sources differThe town's own history page offers another view: Tambac in a 17th-century Bikol dictionary means a mound of soil or manure heaped at the foot of a plant. The name may refer to a mound near the present church.[10]

Its story

Tinambac was first a cluster of villages with the old names Himoragat, Lupi and Tinambac. Franciscan friars began missions on the slopes of Mount Isarog in the late 1600s.[10]

In 1701 two friars set up the mission of Himoragat and baptised its first converts.[10]

In 1792 a report still listed Tinambac as attached to Goa. Raiders destroyed the Himoragat mission in 1796.[10]

Tinambac got its own parish priest around 1817, though it was already a civil pueblo before then.[10]

Under American rule the town was led by a presidente, the office later called mayor. In 1903 an Act of the Philippine Commission kept Tinambac as a municipality and added the barrio of Bagacay from Manguirin.[10, 11]
