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[29]

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
16.1% of people[17]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
4th class[4]
About 16 of every 100 people in Alcantara lived below the poverty line in 2021 (16.1%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 12.8% and 19.3%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Executive Order No. 427, dated 21 March 1961, segregated eight barrios from the municipality of Looc and organized them into the independent municipality of Alcantara, seated at the barrio of Alcantara. The order says the municipality would begin to exist once its mayor, vice-mayor and a majority of councilors were appointed and qualified and the Secretary of Finance certified its finances.[9]

Its story

Alcantara was part of the municipality of Looc, on Tablas Island, until 1961.[9]

In March 1961 President Carlos P. Garcia's Executive Order No. 427 took these eight barrios out of Looc to form a new municipality named Alcantara. Looc kept the rest of its territory.[9]

Timeline

  1. 21 March 1961

    Executive Order No. 427 created the municipality of Alcantara out of eight barrios of Looc.[9]
