OVERVIEW OF THE PROVINCE MAP OF SORSOGON
Source: Department of Agriculture, Sorsogon Provincial Office
Sorsogon, at the southeastern part of the Bicol Peninsula, is bounded on the north by the Province of Albay, on the east and northeast by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the San Bernardino Strait, and on the west and northwest by the Ticao and Burias Passes. The province has an irregular coastline. There are good harbors in Bulan, Magallanes, and along the shore of Sorsogon Bay.
Sorsogon, with an area of 2,141.4 square kilometre and a population of 792,949 in 2015, consists of fourteen municipalities and one city.
HISTORY
In 1569, Captain Luis Enriquez de Guzman, and Father Alonzo Jimenez and Juan Orta celebrated the first mass at Otavi (site of old town of Bulan). In 1570, they reached Hibalong, a small fishing village near the mouth of Ginangra River in Magallanes and planted the cross and erected the first chapel in Luzon. The missionaries reached the town of Pilar where the PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY – SORSOGON PROVINCIAL STATISTICS OFFICE 12

Abuca-Catamlangan mission was established. Among the early towns founded in the province were Casiguran in 1660, and Bulusan in 1601.
Because of the urgent need for ships during the galleon trade, ship building was developed as an important industry in the province. In 1669, Father Pedro de Espellargas invented the abaca stripping knife which revolutionized fiber extraction and promoted rope-making or the cordage industry.
During the Muslim raids on the coastal towns of Sorsogon in 1737, 1740, 1749 and 1781, Captain Pedro de Gastambide built a port at Sirangan. Several watchtowers were also constructed at Gubat, Bacon, Bulusan, Sta. Magdalena and Matnog.
On October 17, 1894, Sorsogon was separated as a province from Albay. As how the name Sorsogon means came from the most plausible term “sosogon” which means to follow a trail, a river or a route. The earliest settlers in Sorsogon, as in all other parts of the country were the small negroid people known Aetas or “Agta” in Bicol. Juan de la Guardia became the first governor, succeeded by Guillermo Montes, Saliendo Salazar and Leandro Villamil.
The Spaniards abandoned Sorsogon during the Philippine Revolution of 1876. For sometime, the provincial government was administered by Father Jorge Barlin, Vicar Forane in Sorsogon, who later turned over the province to the revolutionary forces.
On January 20, 1900, the American forces under General William Kobe occupied Sorsogon and set up a provisional military government. The resistance movement against the American when Emeterio Funes, head of the local revolutionary forces, was captured. He later took the oath of allegiance to the United States.
A civil government was established in Sorsogon on April 30, 1901. Bernardino Monreal was the first governor of the province.

During the World War II, after the Japanese occupied Sorsogon in 1942, Major Licerio Lapuz and Salvador Escudero organized guerrilla units which joined forces with the American Liberation Forces in the Liberation of Sorsogon on April 29, 1945.
The province is rich in prehistoric culture. The archaeological excavation conducted by Robert Fox in 1959 unearthed stone tools and burial jars at the “hacienda” of Juan Escuetura in Bato, Golden crowns, believed to exist from 91 B.C. to 79 A.D. were also found in Bulan and Juban.
Sorsogon is known for its historic and panoramic places, such as the century-old towers or “baluartes” in Sta. Magdalena, Bacon, Matnog, Casiguran and Bulusan; the “TulongGapo” in Bacon; the Bato Limestone in Bato, and the Irosin church in Irosin. (1995 Provincial Profile Sorsogon, National Statistics Office)
TOPOGRAPHY
The topography of the province of Sorsogon is irregular of which mountains sprawl along the northeastern part as well as on its southeast portion. The mountain range stretches from Sorsogon province to Albay covering some parts of the Sorsogon City and Castilla. These mountains slope down upon small valleys and plains. These plains and mountains, though, are not only enchanting but are also good hunting grounds.
The tallest peak is Mount Bulusan with an elevation of 1,560 meters above sea level. It is an active volcano seated at the center of five (5) municipalities and located at the southeastern part of the province. Mt. Bintacan is another towering mountain with an elevation of 820 meters above sea level, located at the southwestern part of the province occupying two (2) municipalities (Juban and Magallanes) serving as watershed area.
In the province, there are areas that are prone to natural hazards like typhoon, storm surge, landslide, tsunami, volcanic eruption, severe flooding, active fault line and coastal
PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY – SORSOGON PROVINCIAL STATISTICS OFFICE 14

zones. An essential point in the disaster prevention and mitigation is to assess possible safe sites of human activities and provision of infrastructure facilities that is important in the delivery of services like farm to market road, post-harvest facilities, water system development and agricultural and fishery support services. (Provincial Agricultural Profile as of 2016, Department of Agriculture, Sorsogon Provincial Office)
CLIMATE
Generally, two wind streams, the Monsoons and the Pacific Trade Winds, influence the Province of Sorsogon. The Northeast Monsoon occurs during the months of November and December. It reaches Sorsogon from the eastern part of the province forming as a weak stream from October, becomes stronger in November to December, and disappears in January. The southeast monsoon usually appears in June, gradually increases up to September, and decreases in October.
The Northerly Pacific Trade Winds coming in over the eastern section of the province considerably reduces the effect of the northeast monsoon wind and rainfall from February to March extending to April and May. The Southerly Pacific Trade Wind and the southwest monsoon influence the rainfall distribution from June to October.
The transition period between the trade wind season and the southwest monsoon occurs in mid-May, wherein rainfall distribution during this transition is determined by topography. When the warm and humid southwest monsoon passes the western side of the province, the amount of moisture is reduced and low rainfall is experienced. Moreover, when transition period in October occurs, tropical cyclones and inter-tropical convergence zone brings considerable amount of rain in the province.
The highest wind speed is experienced during the months of June to August, and November to February. This has always been associated with typhoons crossing the area. The Province of Sorsogon lies along the typhoon belt where the typhoons are
PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY – SORSOGON PROVINCIAL STATISTICS OFFICE 15
2018 COUNTRYSIDE IN FIGURES [Publish Date]
frequently experienced. An average of 20 times a year of typhoons has been recorded. The vulnerability of natural calamity/disasters and the abnormal change in climate cause tremendous disturbance on crops and properties.
The province is well within the country’s typhoon belt, influenced by the northeast and southeast monsoons, for ten months a year average. The northeast monsoon occurs from October to March while the southeast monsoon prevails from June to September. Summer lasts for only two months when favorable North Pacific Trade winds come during April and May.
Maritime tropical air mass causes an annual relative humidity of 82%. Relative humidity is lower at 80% during the months of July, August and September and rises to 85% by January, February and December. Monsoon and Pacific Trade wind currents generally influence winds. The highest wind velocities occur during typhoon crossings.
Sorsogon falls under the Type II climate in the Corona Climatic Classification System. This type of climate has no distinct dry season but with pronounced maximum rain period from November to January.
The annual rainfall variability obtained from an eight- year rainfall data from 2005 to 2012 measured from collections sites in the municipalities of Bulan, Irosin, Donsol, and Magallanes and in Sorsogon City conforms to the Corona Climate Classification system. During the eight-year period, the months with highest rainfall occurred during December with an average of 618mm to January with an average of 534mm. The months with least rainfall were April (196 mm), May (264mm) and June (167mm). The rest of the months had a range of 304 to 395mm of rain.
January is the coolest month with a temperature mean of 23 C. The warmest month is the April with monthly average maximum of 32.8C. Tropical depressions and typhoons frequently occur in the Bicol Region but the number of typhoons hitting the province in nine (9) very 5 years.

Mountains
Mt. Bulusan is the most famous mountain known not only in the province of Sorsogon but also in the entire Bicol region. Because of its unique biodiversity, it was proclaimed as a National Park under Proclamation No. 811 in June 7, 1935 and in November 27, 2000 under Proclamation No. 421, it was proclaimed as a protected area under the category of Natural Park. The Bulusan Volcano Natural Park (BVNP) has an area covering 3,673 hectares. It spans five (5) municipalities of the province namely: Bulusan, Irosin, Juban, Casiguran, and Barcelona. It is a major tourist destination of the province with Bulusan Mountain Lake as its main attraction. To safeguard its biodiversity, the Protected Area
PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY – SORSOGON PROVINCIAL STATISTICS OFFICE 18
2018 COUNTRYSIDE IN FIGURES [Publish Date]
Management Board (PAMB) was organized and established to oversee the proper management of the park. This mountain is a watershed that supports the lakes, rivers, springs, falls, which supply the domestic and agricultural needs for water of the surrounding communities. Although the forest cover of this mountain suffers from manmade destructions, Bulusan is still admired by many because of its green foliage and plants. Since it is an active volcano, it is a threat that brings destruction to the surrounding communities when it erupts. During the last eruption barangays Cogon and Patag in Irosin were greatly affected resulting to the relocation of its residents. Henceforth, a 4.0- kilometer radius danger zone around the volcano was established and strictly enforced.
Mt. Bintacan is a watershed reservation area proclaimed under Proclamation No. 108 dated November 23, 1992, and now known as Juban-Magallanes Watershed Forest Reserve. The watershed totals 1,032 hectare in area and covers the municipalities of Juban and Magallanes. It is capable of providing abundant supply of water for domestic and agricultural usage. A Protected Area Management Board (PAMB-JMWFR) was also established that would oversee proper management of the protected area.
Mt. Maraot Banwa in Sta. Magdalena is a major watershed area that serves the surrounding town and the adjoining municipality of Irosin. Mt. Jormajam is a major watershed that also serves the municipalities of Irosin and Juban. (Provincial Agricultural Profile as of 2016, Department of Agriculture, Sorsogon Provincial Office)

Highlights of the 2015 Full Year Official Poverty Statistics in Sorsogon
For the full year 2015, the food threshold or the minimum amount needed to meet the individual’s basic food needs was estimated on average at Php14,301. On the other hand, annual per capita poverty threshold or the minimum income required to meet the basic food and nonfood needs was estimated at Php20,480.
Based on the threshold, a family of five will need an average Php5,959 per month to meet the family’s basic food needs; and Php8,533 per month for their minimum basic food and nonfood needs. These represent an increase of about 17% for both the food and poverty thresholds between 2012 and 2015.
Based on the estimated food threshold, subsistence incidence among the province’s families in 2015 was estimated at 9.9%. This translates to 19.3 thousand families with income that are not enough to buy their basic food needs.
PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY – SORSOGON PROVINCIAL STATISTICS OFFICE 68
2018 COUNTRYSIDE IN FIGURES [Publish Date]
In terms of population, 13.6% of the Sorsoganons were estimated as subsistence poor. This is equivalent to 123.9 thousand Sorsoganons whose income are not enough to buy even their basic food needs.
On the other hand, based on the estimated poverty threshold, 31.7% or about 32 out of the 100 families were estimated to be poor in 2015. In terms of the magnitude, this is equivalent to 61.9 thousand Sorsogon families with incomes that are not sufficient to meet their basic food and nonfood needs.
Among population, poverty incidence among Sorsoganons in 2015 was estimated at 41.3%. This translates to 375.2 thousand Sorsoganons who cannot afford to buy their needs on food and nonfood.

The income gap measures the amount of income required by the poor in order to get out of poverty in relation to the poverty threshold itself. It was estimated at 22.9% in 2015. This means that, on the average, a poor family with five members need a monthly additional income of about Php1,954 to move out of poverty in 2015. This can serve as a useful reference especially in determining the necessary budget to eradicate poverty in the country. Like the income gap, the poverty gap also improved. It may be noted that in 2015, if we will not be able to identify the poor, each family can just be given 7.2% of the poverty threshold or Php614 on average for a family of five in a month, to move out of poverty.

Consumer Price Index
The Consumer Price Index or the CPI is an indicator of the change in the average prices of a fixed basket of goods and services commonly purchased by an average Filipino household for their day-to-day consumption relative to a base year. It is used to calculate the inflation rate and the purchasing power of the peso (PPP). Inflation rate (IR) indicates the change in the CPI, while PPP shows how much the Philippine peso is worth in a given period relative to its value in a base period. In 2017, the average CPI was recorded at 154.1 which means that prices has increased by 54.1% since 2006 resulting to an

average IR of 3.6%. The PPP averaged at 0.65 pesos which indicates that a peso in 2006 is worth 0.65 pesos in 2017.

Fish Production The province of Sorsogon has 14 municipalities and 1 component city. All the towns lie along the 336-kilometer coastline of the province except for the landlocked Irosin town. The province’s major fishing grounds include Sorsogon Bay, San Bernardino Strait, Ticao Pass, Burias Pass, and some fishermen reached as far as Samar Sea to fish.
In 2017, the province’s estimated fish production totaled to 31,483.60 metric tons. Of which, municipal fisheries contributed the highest with 22,754.56 metric tons, followed by commercial fisheries with 6,514.84 metric tons and the least, aquaculture with 2,214.20 metric tons. All these sub- sectors registered positive growths as compared to the previous year’s production. Commercial fisheries increased by 1,482.95 metric tons, municipal fisheries by 2,422.90 metric tons, and aquaculture by 386.13 metric tons. The increment in fisheries production was attributed to the following reasons:
• high volume of unloading of fimbriated sardines locally known as “lawlaw” • high demand for mussel during the 3rd quarter from local traders with potential customers in Cubao, Cavite, Lucena and Turbina, Calamba • high demand for Caulerpa seaweeds from local traders with buyers in Malabon and Rizal • availability of seaweed planting materials and market assistance (for gracilaria) from BFAR to seaweed farmers
Based on the Fisherfolk Registration System (FishR) of DA-BFAR, there are about 28,336 fisherfolks or 3.50 percent of Sorsogon’s population was into fishing. Fisheries volume of production for the past five years is shown in Table 54 and Figure 19.
