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
14.7% 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 Boac lived below the poverty line in 2021 (14.7%)[22]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 13.5% and 15.8%, with 90% confidence.

Its story

Boac was the capital of the Province of Marinduque when American civil government was extended to the island in 1901.[9]

Marinduque was joined to Tayabas in 1902 and made a subprovince in 1907, and the lieutenant-governor kept his office in Boac.[10, 11]

A 1920 law allowed the former province to be reestablished with the municipality of Boac as capital.[12]
