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[29]

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

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
34.4% 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
2nd class[4]
About 34 of every 100 people in Alicia lived below the poverty line in 2021 (34.4%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 29.7% and 39.1%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

Created
Alicia was organized as an independent municipality of Zamboanga by Executive Order No. 468, signed by President Elpidio Quirino on 22 August 1951, out of the southwestern part of Margosatubig; it began to exist once its mayor, vice-mayor and a majority of councilors were appointed and qualified.[9]

Its story

The 1951 order placed Alicia's seat of government at the barrio of Naga-Naga and listed ten barrios, including Benuangan, Pandan-Pandan, Lutiman and Talusan; its territory took in the coast and the whole of Olutanga Island.[9]
