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[34]

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 24 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
24.4% of people[20]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

About 24 of every 100 people in San Andres lived below the poverty line in 2021 (24.4%)[20]

History & Identity

Former name
Calolbon[4]

How it got its name

Local traditionOld residents say the name Calolbon came from the Bicol words 'naca lobong'. The houses along the river looked half under water when seen from the sea, and the early Spanish took the guide's words to be the town's name.[10]

Congress changed the name of the municipality from Calolbon to San Andres by an Act approved on 18 June 1964.[11]

Its story

Local traditionAccording to the town's own history page, natives who ran from Moro pirates in the 17th century hid in Luyang Cave, where the pirates tracked them down and slaughtered them, and each year a requiem mass at the cave remembers them.[10]

By 1929 Calolbon was one of seven municipalities on Catanduanes, grouped into a fourth representative district of Albay.[12]

Republic Act No. 3948 renamed Calolbon as San Andres in 1964.[11]
