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^[30]

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

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 13 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: 12.9% of people^[18]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: 3rd class^[4]

About 13 of every 100 people in Tayabas City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (12.9%)^[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 10.0% and 15.8%, with 90% confidence.

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

Stories that tell of Tayabas City

Tayabas City is part of this Story, told from its own place.

Film, 0:59
CALABARZON
CALABARZON: every name was something else
CALABARZON is made of five province names, and most of them changed. Batangas was Kumintang, then Taal; Quezon was Kalilayan, then Tayabas. Cavite's hook story is told as a tradition.
Why It's Called That

And from Luzon, which Tayabas City is part of:

Film, 0:58
Luzon
Is Luzon named after a rice mortar?
They say Luzon is named after the lusong, the wooden mortar for pounding rice. The oldest records, from Ming China to Pigafetta's word list, leave a strange clue, but no record of a naming.
Why It's Called That

All Stories

Official name: City of Tayabas^[4]
Created: Republic Act No. 9398 converted the Municipality of Tayabas into a component city, the City of Tayabas. It lapsed into law without the President's signature on 18 March 2007.^[9]

How it got its name

Sources differThe city's history page says the origin of the name Tayabas is still unsure. One source ties it to the tayaban, a night creature with glowing wings.^[10]

Sources differAnother account links the name to tayaba, a New Year ritual of cutting three trees to open a farm. A third, by a sociologist, says the name came from the abundant fern called tagabas.^[10]

Its story

The city's own history says Tayabas had a village between the Alitao and Ibiya rivers before the Spanish came. Franciscan friars began Christianizing the people and founding the town after 1578.^[10]

Tayabas became the seat of the province in 1651, and in 1703 it was given the title La Muy Noble Villa.^[10]

Under American rule the provincial capital moved to Lucena in 1901.^[10]

Japanese forces occupied the town from December 1941. American bombing in March 1945 destroyed many buildings.^[10]

Republic Act No. 9398 made Tayabas a component city in 2007. The Supreme Court struck the law down in 2008 and upheld it in December 2009.^{[9, 10]}
