Life & Economy

About 26 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
26.1% of people[19]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

About 26 of every 100 people in Masinloc lived below the poverty line in 2021 (26.1%)[19]

History & Identity

Its story

A Recollect history in Blair and Robertson says Fr. Andres del Espiritu Santo began preaching at Masinloc in 1607, baptised about two thousand people and founded a village there. An 1880 book also gives 1607 as the year Masinloc was founded.[9, 10]

The same Blair and Robertson account of the 1670s says the Recollects left Masinloc on its pleasant site when they moved other Zambales villages inland.[11]

In 1903 Act No. 945 joined Candelaria to Masinloc, with the seat at Masinloc. Executive Order No. 57 of 1909 separated Candelaria again from 1 January 1910.[12, 13]

Timeline

  1. 1607

    Fr. Andres del Espiritu Santo began preaching at Masinloc and founded a village there.[9]

  2. 15 October 1903

    Act No. 945 of 15 October 1903 reduced Zambales from twenty-five municipalities to fifteen. Masinloc was kept and took over the territory of Candelaria.[12]

  3. July 1909 (effective 1 January 1910)

    Executive Order No. 57 separated Candelaria from Masinloc, so Masinloc went back to its pre-1903 territory.[13]
