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[33]

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 18 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
18.2% of people[20]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 18 of every 100 people in Naujan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (18.2%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 14.6% and 21.9%, with 90% confidence.

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

Everything listed for Naujan in Now

How it got its name

Local traditionThe provincial history page says that, according to legend, the name came from the words "Na-Ujao".[9]

Its story

A Blair and Robertson account says the Jesuits founded Naohan (Naujan), keeping it for some time under Father San Victores.[10]

The same collection says the Recollects later made Naohan a mission district with six annexed villages, among them Pola, Pinamalayan and Bongabon.[10]

The provincial history page says the Moros took and burned the stone church-fort at Bancuro in 1842.[9]

Act No. 1280, enacted 4 January 1905, left the municipality of Naujan with its existing boundaries when it cut Mindoro from fifteen municipalities to eight.[9, 11]

Executive Order No. 620 of 18 September 1953 took the southern part of Naujan to create the municipality of Victoria.[12]
