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[30]

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.

Life & Economy

About 22 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
22.2% 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
3rd class[4]
About 22 of every 100 people in Lugait lived below the poverty line in 2021 (22.2%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 18.0% and 26.4%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Executive Order No. 425, dated 16 March 1961, segregated the barrios of Lugait, Biga and Aya-Aya from Manticao and organised them into the independent municipality of Lugait, seat at barrio Lugait.[9]

Its story

Lugait was already a barrio when Manticao was organised out of Initao in 1949; it is named among Manticao's barrios in that order.[10]

The 1961 order made the town begin to exist only after its officials were appointed and the Secretary of Finance certified it could meet its obligations.[9]

Timeline

  1. 7 February 1949

    Lugait is one of the barrios placed in the new municipality of Manticao.[10]

  2. 16 March 1961

    Executive Order No. 425 creates the municipality of Lugait out of Manticao.[9]
