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[34]

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
15.7% of people[22]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

History & Identity

Created
President Elpidio Quirino signed Executive Order No. 232 on 28 June 1949. It converted the municipal district of Brooke's Point into a full municipality, seated in its poblacion.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe present name is credited to Governor Edward Miller, who is said to have honored the explorer James Brooke; the profile calls Brooke the first white man to land on the shore.[10]

Its story

A historical marker of the National Historical Commission says the Magellan-Elcano expedition reached the port of Dyguazam, which is Tegozzao on Pigafetta's map and Saocao in Albo's record. The marker places it at about Sitio Tagusao, in Barangay Barong-Barong. It was put up in 2021 to mark 500 years since that voyage around the world.[11]

The National Quincentennial Committee says Tagusao is approximately the ancient name of the Brooke's Point area and now survives as the name of a sitio.[12]

The expedition returned to Tagusao and stayed more than a month to recover and load supplies.[12]

The town's ecological profile says pioneer families took land claims and began farming and raising livestock in the early 1800s.[10]

Trade along rivers such as the Pulot, Tagusao and Ipilan helped the town grow, and businesses, churches and schools followed.[10]

The profile counts 18,080 people in 1918 and 66,374 in 2015.[10]

Timeline

  1. 21 June 1521

    Sources differAn NHCP marker puts the expedition's departure from Tagusao for Brunei on this date.[11]

  2. 21 July 1521

    Sources differThe National Quincentennial Committee says the expedition was due to leave for Brunei on this date, after meeting a Malay Christian trader at Tagusao.[12]

  3. 28 June 1949

    Executive Order No. 232 converted the municipal district into a municipality. It took effect once a mayor, a vice-mayor and most of the councilors had been appointed and had qualified.[9]

  4. 15 May 1951

    Republic Act No. 617 took three barrios of Brooke's Point (Iraan, Candawaga and Canipaan) and two of Aborlan to form the new municipality of Quezon.[13]

  5. 24 February 1994

    Republic Act No. 7679 separated barangays of Brooke's Point, among them Pulot Center and Panitian, to form the municipality of Sofronio Española.[14]

Nearby

Brooke's Point shares a border with Bataraza, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, Quezon and Sofronio Española.
