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[31]

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.

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

Life & Economy

About 21 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
21.2% 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 21 of every 100 people in Dumarao lived below the poverty line in 2021 (21.2%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 17.6% and 24.9%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

How it got its name

Local traditionThe municipality's own legend says Spanish colonizers asked a farmer drying rice what the place was called; he thought they asked about the rice and answered "Araw", so the place became known as Dum-araw.[10]

Its story

The municipality's website says the first settlers were Malay people who arrived by sailboat, landed on the coast at Agoho in Pan-ay, and moved inland to Sitio Dangula where the Badbaran and Panay rivers meet.[10]

It says Dumarao was established as a municipio in 1581 and as an independent parish in 1690, with Father Pedro Porras as its first priest.[10]

In 1898 General Quintin Salas passed through town and formed a revolutionary nucleus at a resident's home; the Spaniards arrested five men but released them on 13 September 1898.[10]

The American military set up schooling in Dumarao between 1900 and 1903, and the railway, which the Americans had started building, reached the town in 1909.[10]

In 1903 the Philippine Commission kept Dumarao's boundaries as they were when it cut Capiz's municipalities from thirty-four to twenty-two.[11]

The website says general popular elections for town head were introduced in 1913, with two parties, the Democrats and the Nationalistas, contesting.[10]

During World War II a military landing field was built in Barangay Salcedo and was strafed by the Japanese, and houses in the poblacion were burned on purpose to keep the Japanese from using the town.[10]
