Life & Economy

About 17 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: 17.0% of people^[18]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 17 of every 100 people in Nueva Valencia lived below the poverty line in 2021 (17.0%)^[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 14.2% and 19.8%, with 90% confidence.

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

All Stories

Created: Executive Order No. 296 of President Manuel L. Quezon, dated August 12, 1940, segregated the former municipality of Nueva Valencia from Jordan, Iloilo, and organized it as an independent municipality with its seat at Santa Ana, taking effect January 1, 1941.^[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town's history page says Santa Ana was made a town by the Spanish and named Valencia, after a Spanish town whose patroness was Santa Ana.^[11]

Local traditionAfter the casa real burned down for an unknown reason, the seat moved to Barrio Igang; the whole town then became Nueva Valencia, New Valencia, and old Valencia became Barrio Santa Ana.^[11]

Its story

The Spanish built a lighthouse at Punta Santa Ana to guide ships through the Iloilo Strait; it still operates.^[11]

On January 6, 1902 the governor of Iloilo appointed Marcelo Flores President of the Municipality of Nueva Valencia.^[11]

Leaders pressed for separation from Jordan because far-flung barrios were neglected; Executive Order No. 296 of 1940 granted it.^{[9, 11]}

The town was formally inaugurated on January 1, 1942 with Florentino Gallopa as first appointed mayor.^[11]

Under Japanese occupation the municipal government ran under the KALIBAPI system, and its offices returned to Barrio Igang on August 27, 1942.^[11]

In 1957 the municipal building was moved to Sitio Igbantog, where it remains.^[11]

In 1995 the barangays Oracon and Concordia were taken from Nueva Valencia to form Sibunag.^[12]
