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 III^[34]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 15 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: 14.5% 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: 1st class^[4]

About 15 of every 100 people in Tabuk City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (14.5%)^[22]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 10.1% and 19.0%, with 90% confidence.

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

Everything listed for Tabuk City in Now

Official name: City of Tabuk^[4]
Created: Republic Act No. 9404, dated March 23, 2007, converted the Municipality of Tabuk into a component city; the act required a plebiscite, which the city says was ratified on June 23, 2007.^{[9, 10]}

How it got its name

Local traditionThe city's own history page says Tabuk was once called the Valley of the Gamonangs, after a Kalinga tribe; it does not explain the name Tabuk.^[10]

Its story

According to the city, the valley was left empty after a war and an epidemic wiped out the Gamonang, and was resettled shortly before World War I when a lieutenant governor sent six volunteer pioneers.^[10]

A Bureau of Lands survey party in the early 1930s mapped the valley and a government subdivision plan sped up the town's growth.^[10]

The municipal seat moved several times and was finally fixed at Dagupan by a proclamation of President Quirino.^[10]

Republic Act No. 533 made Tabuk a regular municipality on June 16, 1950, and Republic Act No. 4695 of 1966 named Tabuk capital of the new province of Kalinga-Apayao.^{[12, 13]}
