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: 17.2% 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 17 of every 100 people in Tigbauan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (17.2%)^[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 15.1% and 19.3%, with 90% confidence.

The marker credits the town with the first school and dormitory in the Philippines, founded by the Jesuit Pedro Chirino in 1592.^[9]

It adds that Tigbauan took part in the 1898 revolution against Spain, fought the Americans from 1899 to 1901, and set up civil government in 1901.^[9]

American troops landed at its barrio of Parara on 18 March 1945, the marker says, as a first step in freeing Panay.^[9]

The Iloilo provincial government says the parish church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan was built in 1578.^[10]

In 1903 an act of the Philippine Commission joined the municipality of Cordoba to Tigbauan, which stayed the seat of government.^[11]
