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[35]

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

Covers about 94 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 10 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
9.8% of people[23]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 10 of every 100 people in Coron lived below the poverty line in 2021 (9.8%)[23]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 2.3% and 17.3%, with 90% confidence.

The PSA says caution must be observed in using this estimate: read it as a rough guide only.

History & Identity

Coron's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Coron in Now

Created
Act No. 1582, approved 9 January 1907, names Coron among the Palawan townships it declares to be municipalities with a sufficient proportion of civilized people for the Philippine Assembly election rules. This is the earliest law found that calls Coron a municipality; the town profile says it was registered as a town in 1902.[9, 10]

How it got its name

Sources differIn one account, the name is taken from Coron Bay, shaped like an earthen pot, and a migrant from Cuyo named Don Nicolas Manlavi y Ledesma is said to have supplied the Cuyonon word for pot.[12]

Its story

The first inhabitants of Coron were the Tagbanuas, according to the municipal profile.[12]

A 17th-century Recollect chronicle already singles out the rocky island of Coron as a steep, naturally fortified refuge where the people retired as to a sacred place.[13]

The municipal plan says that in 1749 Pedro Vincua of Cagayancillo led in setting up an organized government that made Coron a visita under Culion, named Peñon de Coron.[10]

In 1902 Coron was registered as a town and the name changed from Peñon de Coron to Coron.[10]

Barrios of Coron were separated in 1950 to form Busuanga, and islands were separated in 1954 to form Linapacan.[14, 15]

Mining took off in 1939, Japanese forces took over the mining camps in July 1942, and Coron was freed in 1945.[10]
