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 I[32]

Two seasons: dry from November to April, wet for the rest of the year, with the heaviest rain from June to September.

Life & Economy

About 13 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
13.2% of people[20]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 13 of every 100 people in Alfonso lived below the poverty line in 2021 (13.2%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 9.7% and 16.8%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Alfonso's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Alfonso in Now

How it got its name

Local traditionLegend says early settlers lived beside a stream lined with two big sweet-fruit trees called alas-as, and the town's original seat, Barrio Alas-as, took that name.[9]

The town's own site says the Spanish authorities later renamed it for King Alfonso XII; its earlier name, Alas-as, lasted only seventeen years.[9]

Its story

In the 17th century the area was thick forest with a few small settlements. It was part of Lumampong, a barrio of Indang, until late in the Spanish period.[9]

The settlements grew into four small barrios. Two community leaders petitioned the Governor General to make them a municipality of their own, and the petition was granted.[9]

On 16 May 1859 Alfonso became an independent municipality, apart from Indang, according to the municipal website.[9]

The town says it was one of the main centers of revolutionary activity in Cavite during the Philippine Revolution.[9]

Four churches have stood in the town since it became a municipality. A strong storm wrecked the third one in December 1926.[9]

Timeline

  1. 16 May 1859

    Alfonso became an independent municipality, separate from Indang, says the municipal website.[9]

  2. a few days after 26 August 1896

    Days after the Cry of Balintawak in August 1896, General Mariano Trias ordered the Spaniards in the municipality to be eliminated, according to the town's site.[9]

  3. 15 October 1903

    Act No. 947 of the Philippine Commission cut Cavite's twenty-three municipalities to eleven. Alfonso was to take in the towns of Bailen and Mendez.[10]

  4. 1925
