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.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 27 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
27.4% of people[17]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 27 of every 100 people in Kabankalan City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (27.4%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 23.9% and 31.0%, with 90% confidence.

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

In the Archive

Official name
City of Kabankalan[4]
Created
The Municipality of Kabankalan was converted into a component city by Republic Act No. 8297, approved on 6 June 1997.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe city's own history says a settler named Leocadio Tayum, from Tigbauan in Iloilo, found a place thick with bangkal trees and the settlement took the name Kabankalan from them.[11]

Its story

A document of 1630 records Kabankalan as the center of an encomienda, the next town in rank after Ilog among the four Jesuit-run towns of that mission.[11]

In 1830 the headmen of three barangays asked the government to move their settlements from the Hilabangan River to Orong, where they founded a small town and chose Leocadio Tayum as their head.[11]

In 1856 Spanish forces attacked the stronghold of a leader named Manyabog at Carol-an; the town's history records that he was killed and his followers burned themselves and their homes rather than surrender.[11]

Kabankalan was merged into Ilog in 1903 by Act No. 716 and separated again in 1907 by Act No. 1612.[11]

During the Second World War the Japanese made Kabankalan a garrison town, destroying sugar mills and school buildings.[11]

Kabankalan became a city under Republic Act 8297, signed on 6 June 1997, with Isidro P. Zayco as its first city mayor.[11]
