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[34]

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 12 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
11.9% of people[22]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
3rd class[4]
About 12 of every 100 people in Guimbal lived below the poverty line in 2021 (11.9%)[22]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 9.9% and 13.9%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town's own history page says its name comes from the guimbal, an old drum-like instrument made of a hollowed palm trunk covered in goat or deer skin. According to the same page, settlers used it to warn of raiding Moro pirates, and the Spaniards named the place after it.[10]

Its story

The earliest Spanish record that uses the name Guimbal, according to the Iloilo provincial government, refers to a convento being established there in 1590.[11]

The parish church of San Nicolas de Tolentino was built in its present site in 1730 under Fr. Juan Aguado, and was completed in 1765 under Fr. Juan Campos, according to the town.[12]

Miagao was governed from Guimbal until 1716, when it became an independent town, according to Miagao's own municipal profile.[13]

The town's history page says the parish church was burned in 1895 and restored by Fr. Agustin Llorente, and that war destroyed its roof, altar, belfry, convent and parochial school in 1941.[12]

A steel bridge over the Guimbal River was built in 1931 with Insular government money and charged tolls after it opened.[14]
