Life & Economy

About 26 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: 26.0% 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 26 of every 100 people in Baybay City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (26.0%)^[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 23.5% and 28.6%, with 90% confidence.

Created: The Charter of the City of Baybay (Republic Act No. 9389) converted the Municipality of Baybay into a component city; it lapsed into law on 15 March 2007 without the President's signature.^[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe city's history page tells that a Spanish expedition under Felipe Segundo landed at Pangasugan and asked a native the name of the place; thinking he was asked about the river, the native answered that the river runs along Pangasugan (nagbaybay), and so it became Baybay.^[11]

Its story

Moro raiders attacked on October 22, 1605 and carried off 60 men as captives.^[11]

A great fire in 1866 nearly burned the town to ashes.^[11]

The present church was begun in 1852 and finished in 1870.^[11]

The first Americans arrived on February 10, 1901 aboard the ship Melliza.^[11]

Japanese forces came in two waves in 1942.^[11]
