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[31]

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.

Covers about 79 of every 100 parts of its land. Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 17 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
17.4% of people[19]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 17 of every 100 people in Gabaldon lived below the poverty line in 2021 (17.4%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 13.4% and 21.4%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Former name
Bitulok & Sabani[4]
Created
Gabaldon began as the municipality of Bitulok, separated from Laur on 12 June 1950 under R.A. 496, according to the town's page. The act itself was not read.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town's page says a wealthy man named Sabani owned the place in Spanish times, which is why it was called Sabani.[9]

Republic Act No. 1318 changed the name from Sabani to Gabaldon. The town's page says this honours Isauro Gabaldon, a former governor of Nueva Ecija.[9, 10]

Its story

The town's page says the area was thick forest in the 1880s and was later cleared for fruit trees and rice.[9]

The town's page says the national government took over the estate's administration on 10 May 1920.[9]

The page says the area became the independent municipality of Bitulok in 1950.[9]
