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[35]

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.

Covers about 62 of every 100 parts of its land. Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

History & Identity

Guimaras's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Guimaras in Now

Created
A sub-province of Iloilo from 18 June 1966 under Republic Act No. 4667; made a regular province on 22 May 1992 under Section 462 of the Local Government Code (Republic Act No. 7160), after a plebiscite on 11 May 1992[9, 10, 11]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe province's history cites the author R. Morales, who believed that a homesick Portuguese sailor of Magellan's fleet may have named the island after Guimarães, the first capital of Portugal.[11]

Its story

Its first villages were long a visita of Oton: Governor-General Dasmariñas reported on 20 June 1591 that one of Oton's two friars visited Guimaras from time to time. It passed to Dumangas in 1742, to the Jesuits in 1751 and the Dominicans in 1768, and became a regular parish in 1775.[11]

The island became a single town with its seat at Tilad, now Buenavista. It was divided in 1918, when Jordan was made a town, and again in 1941, when Nueva Valencia was created.[11]

Republic Act No. 4667 made Guimaras a sub-province of Iloilo on 18 June 1966, with its seat at Jordan. Antonio G. Ortiz was its first lieutenant governor, a post that Republic Act No. 5682 renamed governor in 1969.[9, 11, 12]

The Local Government Code of 1991 provided for sub-provinces to become regular provinces once a plebiscite approved it. Its voters said yes on 11 May 1992, with the national elections, and Guimaras became a province on 22 May 1992; in 1995 two more towns, Sibunag and San Lorenzo, were created.[10, 11, 13, 14]

As a sub-province it kept its foundation anniversary on 21 August, as a proclamation of 1987 shows. The province now keeps 22 May, the day it became a province, which closes the Manggahan Festival.[15, 16, 17]
