Climate

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^[30]

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

Covers about 71 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 11 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: 11.0% 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: 1st class^[4]

About 11 of every 100 people in Santa Barbara lived below the poverty line in 2021 (11.0%)^[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 9.2% and 12.8%, with 90% confidence.

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

Its story

When the 1896 revolution broke out in Luzon, the Spanish authorities in Iloilo hoped to keep Ilonggos loyal, and made Martin Teofilo Delgado, a local mestizo who had held the highest office in his town, commander of the volunteer militia in Santa Barbara.^[10]

The Revolutionary Government of the Visayas was formally inaugurated at the Santa Barbara town plaza on 17 November 1898, and the provincial page says the Philippine flag was raised there for the first time outside Luzon.^[10]

Delgado led the army against the Americans from 1899 until he surrendered on 2 February 1901, and was then appointed the first civil governor of Iloilo.^[10]

In 1940 the barrio of Zarraga was cut out of Santa Barbara to form its own municipality, effective 1 January 1941.^[11]
