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 IV[30]

Rain spread fairly evenly through the year, with no dry season.

Covers about 82 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 34 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
33.9% 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
5th class[4]
About 34 of every 100 people in Almagro lived below the poverty line in 2021 (33.9%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 28.4% and 39.5%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Its story

Almagro was already an existing municipality of what was then Western Samar when Presidential Decree No. 1047 took its island of Tagapul-an away to form a new municipality in 1976.[9]

The 1965 law that split Samar into three provinces listed Almagro among the municipalities of Western Samar.[10]

Timeline

  1. 19 June 1965

    Almagro became part of the new Province of Western Samar when Samar was divided in three.[10]

  2. 15 November 1976

    Barangays making up the whole island of Tagapul-an were detached from Almagro to form the Municipality of Tagapul-an; Almagro's own legal existence was left unchanged.[9]
