Life & Economy

About 32 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: 31.7% 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 32 of every 100 people in Dumingag lived below the poverty line in 2021 (31.7%)^[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 28.5% and 34.9%, with 90% confidence.

Stories from Zamboanga Peninsula

Dumingag has no Story of its own yet. This one is about Zamboanga Peninsula, which Dumingag is part of.

Zamboanga Peninsula
Zamboanga Peninsula: flowers or a boat pole?
Legend says Zamboanga was first Jambangan, the land of flowers. The city also tells of Samboangan, from a boat pole, and of Fort Pilar in 1635. In 2001 the whole region took the name.
Why It's Called That

All Stories

Created: Dumingag was created by Executive Order No. 283 of President Garcia, dated 27 December 1957, to begin to exist once its officials were appointed and qualified.^[9]

Its story

The order separated 35 barrios and sitios of Molave and organized them as Dumingag, with the seat at the barrio of Dumingag.^[9]

The municipality was to begin to exist only after its mayor, vice-mayor and a majority of councilors were appointed and qualified, and the Secretary of Finance certified it could pay its way.^[9]

In 1960 three of its barrios, Bongyao, Pugwan and Yabu, went to the new municipality of Mahayag.^[10]
