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.

Covers about 70 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.

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
14.6% 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
2nd class[4]
About 15 of every 100 people in Jordan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (14.6%)[21]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 11.7% and 17.6%, with 90% confidence.

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

Government & Leaders

A mayor leads Jordan. 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.[15, 16]

History & Identity

How it got its name

Jordan was earlier known as Nagaba, which a Guimaras State College study describes as the next place on the island, after Navalas, to become a town.[9]

Its story

Spanish-era settlement on the island was organised as villages; the one called Nabilhan, with San Juan Bautista as patron saint, is identified by Nueva Valencia's history page as Jordan.[10]

The growing island town was divided in 1918, creating the Municipality of Jordan out of Barrio Nagaba, with Licerio Segovia as vice mayor and Valeriano Villanueva as its first municipal mayor.[11]

Jordan gave up its western territory in 1941 when Nueva Valencia was made independent by Executive Order No. 296.[12]

In 1995 Jordan lost twelve barangays to the new Sibunag and seven to San Lorenzo.[13, 14]

Timeline

  1. 1918

    Barrio Nagaba became the Municipality of Jordan.[11]

  2. January 1, 1941

    Nueva Valencia's separation from Jordan took effect.[12]

  3. February 20, 1995

    Republic Act Nos. 7896 and 7897 were approved, taking barangays from Jordan to form Sibunag and San Lorenzo.[11]

Nearby

Jordan shares a border with Buenavista, San Lorenzo and Sibunag.
