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[33]

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 15 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
15.3% of people[21]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 15 of every 100 people in Tagaytay City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (15.3%)[21]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 10.7% and 19.9%, with 90% confidence.

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

A mayor leads Tagaytay City. Its local laws, called ordinances, are passed by the Sangguniang Panlungsod (the city 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.[13, 14]

History & Identity

Tagaytay City's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Tagaytay City in Now

Official name
City of Tagaytay[4]
Created
Tagaytay was made a chartered city by Commonwealth Act No. 338, approved June 21, 1938, whose Section 2 makes the territory a municipality known as the City of Tagaytay.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe city's own ecological profile gives a legend: a father and son chased a wild boar, the boar turned on them, and the son shouted 'Taga, Itay!' (cut it, father); the shout gave the place its name.[11]

Its story

During the 1896 Revolution Tagaytay's forested ridges served as a refuge for revolutionaries from Batangas, Laguna and nearby Cavite towns.[11]
