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^[29]

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.

Life & Economy

About 45 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: 44.5% of people^[17]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 45 of every 100 people in Tuburan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (44.5%)^[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 40.0% and 49.0%, with 90% confidence.

Central Visayas: the gift found again

All Stories

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town's own history page says Tuburan comes from tubod, the Cebuano word for spring, because water flows almost everywhere in the area.^[10]

Local traditionThe same page tells how Don Mariano Montebon found springs everywhere while trading there and first called the place Tinubdan, later Tuburan.^[10]

Its story

The town's history page says Tuburan was once part of Balanbang (Balamban) and became a municipality in 1851.^[10]

It says no record shows the Spanish decree creating the town, but local historians credit Capitan Don Mariano Montebon of Sogod with founding it, supposedly in 1851.^[10]

The town site moved twice: in 1852 Vicente Bato moved it to Sitio Daligdigan, and in 1857 Diego Tabotabo moved it to where the poblacion is today.^[10]

The name Tuburan was also shared by the communities that became Asturias (Royal Decree 508, 24 July 1878) and Alegria (renamed by decree on 25 September 1850), so both changed names.^[10]

In September 1952 Tuburan celebrated the first hundred years of its founding as a municipality.^[10]
