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 II[31]

No dry season. The rain is heaviest from December to February, and no month is truly dry.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 4 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
4.3% 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 4 of every 100 people in Tagkawayan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (4.3%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 2.0% and 6.5%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
President Manuel L. Quezon signed Executive Order No. 316 on 31 December 1940. It took fifteen barrios out of Guinayangan, Tayabas, and organized them as the independent municipality of Tagcawayan (now Tagkawayan). The order took effect on 1 January 1941.[9]

Its story

Tagkawayan began as a group of barrios under Guinayangan in Tayabas province. In 1940 the President separated those barrios and made them a town of their own, which started on 1 January 1941. A second order in March 1941 corrected the list of barrios and sitios. In 1947 the barrio of Aloneros went back to Guinayangan, and the Kabibihan River became the boundary.[9, 10, 11]

Timeline

  1. 7 March 1941

    Executive Order No. 330 amended the first paragraph of Executive Order No. 316. It changed the list of barrios and added sitios to the new municipality.[10]

  2. 12 August 1947

    Executive Order No. 78 moved the barrio of Aloneros from Tagkawayan to Guinayangan, effective 1 January 1948. The Kabibihan River became the boundary between the two towns.[11]

Tagkawayan shares a border with Del Gallego, Guinayangan, Labo and Santa Elena.
