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[31]

Two seasons: dry from November to April, wet for the rest of the year, with the heaviest rain from June to September.

Life & Economy

About 9 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
8.8% of people[19]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 9 of every 100 people in Badoc lived below the poverty line in 2021 (8.8%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 7.0% and 10.6%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Its story

The town government says Badoc was founded later than its neighbours Batac, Sinait and Paoay, because raids by Moro and Zambal raiders from Badoc Island delayed the town and the parish.[10]

The National Historical Commission marker says the Badoc church was built by Augustinian priests, was a chapel of Sinait in 1591 and became a parish in 1714.[11]

The same marker says Sambal rebels took over the church during the revolt of Andres Malong in 1660 to 1661.[11]

In 1903 Act No. 946 kept Badoc with its existing boundaries when Ilocos Norte went from fifteen municipalities to ten.[12]

The town government says the Code of 1901 split Badoc into 30 barrios grouped under 11 council districts.[10]
