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.

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

Life & Economy

About 24 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
24.4% 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
1st class[4]
About 24 of every 100 people in Claver lived below the poverty line in 2021 (24.4%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 20.2% and 28.6%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Its story

Claver was cut from the municipality of Gigaquit, taking the barrios of Claver (the seat), Nuevo Campo Inferior, Panatao, Urbiztondo and Taganito with their sitios.[9]

It was to begin to exist after 8 November 1955, once its first mayor, vice-mayor and a majority of councilors were appointed and qualified.[9]

Republic Act No. 2504 turned five Claver sitios (Lahi, Hayangabon, Cagdianao, Cabugo and Sapa) into barrios.[10]

Timeline

  1. 13 September 1955

    Claver was created out of Gigaquit.[9]

  2. 1959

    Five sitios of Claver became barrios under Republic Act No. 2504.[10]

Nearby

Claver shares a border with Carrascal, Gigaquit, Jabonga and Kitcharao.
