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 16 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: 15.6% 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 16 of every 100 people in Valencia lived below the poverty line in 2021 (15.6%)^[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 12.6% and 18.6%, with 90% confidence.

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

Negros Island Region: the region that came back

All Stories

Former name: Luzurriaga^[4]

How it got its name

The town was first called Nueva Valencia. In 1905 the Philippine Commission renamed it Luzuriaga because several municipalities bore the name Nueva Valencia and mail was being confused; the residents had petitioned for the change.^[9]

Republic Act No. 252, approved 14 June 1948, changed the name of the municipality of Luzurriaga to Valencia.^[10]

Its story

Nueva Valencia was created a parish in 1854, and the Recollect Fr. Tomás Mezquita was its first parish priest.^[11]

In April 1903 Act No. 715 kept Nueva Valencia within its existing boundaries when Oriental Negros was reduced to 14 municipalities.^[12]

In 1905 the municipality was renamed Luzuriaga, and in 1948 it was renamed Valencia.^{[9, 10]}
