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[32]

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 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
10.7% of people[20]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
4th class[4]
About 11 of every 100 people in Burgos lived below the poverty line in 2021 (10.7%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 7.6% and 13.8%, with 90% confidence.

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

Government & Leaders

A mayor leads Burgos. Its local laws, called ordinances, are passed by the Sangguniang Bayan (the municipal council), led by the vice mayor. The mayor, the vice mayor and the council's elected members serve three-year terms, and none may serve more than three in a row.[14, 15]

History & Identity

How it got its name

Local traditionAccording to the town, its name honors Father Jose Burgos; he is said to have paused at Agpay during his flight from the Spaniards and said mass there.[10, 11]

Its story

The area was once part of Barrio Disdis of Sablan, Benguet. It was also called Baresbes, meaning swampy, for its creeks and rivers. In Spanish times the north-west was called Rancheria Disdis and the south Rancheria Galiano.[10]

Act No. 662 of 5 March 1903 moved the La Union and Benguet boundary so that Galiano went to La Union and Disdis to Benguet. The town's own page states this the other way round.[12]

The town says Disdis became a municipal district of La Union in late 1903, was annexed to Sablan, Benguet, in 1909, and came back to La Union in 1920.[10]

The town says Executive Order No. 54 of 27 November 1925 created the Municipal District of Burgos, in effect from 1 January 1926, with its seat at Ribsuan.[10]

The seat of government moved to its present site in the latter part of 1960. The town says it became a regular municipality in 1960, while Executive Order No. 42 of 1963 also lists it.[10, 13]

Timeline

  1. 5 March 1903

    Act No. 662 changes the La Union and Benguet boundary at the rancherias of Galiano and Disdis.[12]

  2. 27 November 1925

    The Municipal District of Burgos is created by Executive Order No. 54, according to the town; it took effect on 1 January 1926.[10]

  3. 1960

    Sources differThe town's history says the district became a regular municipality in 1960.[10]

  4. 25 June 1963

    Executive Order No. 42 lists Burgos among municipal districts declared municipalities.[13]
