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

Life & Economy

About 4 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: 4.0% of people^[21]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 4 of every 100 people in Calamba City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (4.0%)^[21]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 2.7% and 5.2%, with 90% confidence.

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

CALABARZON
CALABARZON: every name was something else
CALABARZON is made of five province names, and most of them changed. Batangas was Kumintang, then Taal; Quezon was Kalilayan, then Tayabas. Cavite's hook story is told as a tradition.

Old photographs of Calamba City

Each with the archive that holds it, its date and its rights, on its own page.

In the Archive

Official name: City of Calamba^[4]
Created: Republic Act No. 9024, signed on 5 March 2001, converted the municipality of Calamba into a component city. Voters ratified it in a plebiscite on 21 April 2001.^{[9, 10]}

How it got its name

Local traditionA local legend says the name comes from "kalan-banga", an earthen jar a young woman was carrying when a Guardia Civil asked the name of the place. She took the question to be about her load. The word was later shortened to Calamba.^[10]

Its story

The city profile says Calamba was once part of Tabuco, now Cabuyao, and became a pueblo by a governor's decree of 28 August 1742.^[10]

Sources differAnother page of the city site says the town of Calamba was created in 1770, so the two dates differ.^[12]

Under the Spanish the land became a hacienda. In 1813 the Dominican friars put it in the hands of encargados.^[12]

Under American rule the Dominicans sold the haciendas to local people in instalments.^[12]

Mayor Severino J. Lajara was in office when Calamba became a component city in 2001.^[12]
