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[32]

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.

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

History & Identity

Created
On 11 April 1835 the Governor General issued a decree fixing the boundary of the new pueblo named Nuestra Senora de los Dolores, says the town's own profile.[9]

Its story

The town site chosen was near Sitio Hambujan, now Barangay Sta. Lucia, which was a well-known bathing place at the time.[9]

The first seat of the new town was Barrio de Maranli, the present town proper (Poblacion).[9]

Timeline

  1. 1834

    The town profile dates the founding of the town to 1834, when officials of Batangas and Tayabas, with the bishop of Nueva Caceres, agreed to set up a town near Sitio Hambujan.[9]

  2. 23 May 1835

    The local government of the pueblo was inaugurated on 23 May 1835 with Don Francisco Fernando as its first gobernadorcillo, the profile says.[9]

  3. 17 May 1902

    Act No. 402 consolidated the municipality of Dolores with Tiaon (the spelling the Act uses) under the name Tiaon, and abolished the existing offices of Dolores.[11]

  4. 7 December 1929

    Act No. 3648 gave the Escudero Electric Service Company a franchise for the municipalities of Dolores and Tiaong in Tayabas and of San Pablo and Alaminos in Laguna, listing Dolores and Tiaong as two municipalities.[12]

  5. September 1966

    The profile says the seat of government moved from the Poblacion to Barangay Bulakin II, the present site, in September 1966.[9]
