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[28]

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 43 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
42.5% of people[16]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 43 of every 100 people in Asturias lived below the poverty line in 2021 (42.5%)[16]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 37.3% and 47.7%, with 90% confidence.

Government & Leaders

A mayor leads Asturias. Its local laws, called ordinances, are passed by the Sangguniang Bayan (the municipal 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.[10, 11]

History & Identity

How it got its name

The municipal website says the name Asturias honours Asturias, a province in Spain.[9]

Local traditionThe older name Naghalin is said to come from the Cebuano lalin, meaning settlers from far places.[9]

Its story

Asturias began as part of Balamban. A local leader, Don Eugenio Alonzo, worked for the people of Naghalin and Bagacawa to be made a separate municipality.[9]

Nearby

Asturias shares a border with Balamban, Danao City and Tuburan.
