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 I[32]

Two seasons: dry from November to April, wet for the rest of the year, with the heaviest rain from June to September.

Covers about 78 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 28 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
28.3% 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 28 of every 100 people in Sablayan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (28.3%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 25.1% and 31.5%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

Its story

The town's site says Sablayan was already a pueblo under the Spaniards when the Americans came.[10]

The same page says the Americans burned the town in 1903 and that rebuilding took years.[10]

Timeline

  1. 4 January 1905

    Act No. 1280 reduced Mindoro's municipalities from fifteen to eight and kept Sablayan with its present boundaries, so it was already a municipality in January 1905.[11]

Nearby

Sablayan shares a border with Calintaan, Rizal, San Jose and Santa Cruz.
