Aurora Profile is a compilation of selected information on the latest available data at the National Statistics Office and other agencies at the time of its preparation. The Aurora Profile provides information on the province's physical, demographic & socio-economic characteristics, Consumer Price Index (CPI), health and welfare, crime and delinquency, education, transportation and communication, and other selected data. It is hoped that these statistics will be of use and serve as inputs for planners and policy makers in their evaluation, assessment, planning development programs and in formulating policies to improve our province economy. It can also be of use to other researchers in the pursuit of their research and studies. The success of this compilation is not attributed to the NSO alone. The National Statistics Office - Aurora gratefully acknowledges the government agencies who provided technical assistance during the preparation.

Aurora province occupies a long and narrow strip of land covering an area of 309,860 hectares. It lies in the mid eastern coast of Luzon bordered by the Sierra Madre ranges. Political boundaries include the Province of Isabela on the North, Quirino and NuevaViscaya on the Northwest, Nueva Ecija on the West and Quezon on the South. The Province of Aurora is composed of eight municipalities constituting a total of 151 barangays. The province is divided into three (3) development zones, viz Northern Zone (Dilasag, Casiguran, Dinalungan); Central Zone (Dipaculao, Maria Aurora, Baler, San Luis) and Southern Zone (Dingalan).
7
The whole land area of the province was originally composed of the municipality of Baler and Casiguran. These two were administered as part of Tayabas until the Province of Nueva Ecija was established in the early 19th century. In 1856, the eastern coast of Nueva Ecija was created into district called “El Principe”. Thus, Baler and Casiguran were part of Nueva Ecija until 1902 when Commonwealth Government abolished the district and annexed it to the Province of Tayabas. Maria Aurora was carved out of the Municipality of Baler and became a municipality on 21 July 1950 through Executive Order 246 signed by the late President Elpidio Quirino while Dipaculao was created out of the original Casiguran through Executive Order 375 issued on 27 November 1950. These composed the first four municipalities of Aurora sub-province when it was created as an administrative area under Quezon Province through Republic Act 648 signed into law on 14 June 1951. Its first Lieutenant Governor was Pedro V. Guerrero appointed by the late President Elpidio Quirino. More municipalities of Aurora Sub-Province were carved out from the first municipalities mentioned earlier. These additional municipalities include:
1. The Municipal District of San Luis created by virtue of R.A. 2452 that became regular municipality on 16 June 1959 through the passage of R.A. 3487;
2. The Municipal District of Dilasag created by virtue of R.A. 2452 on 21 June 1959 and turned into regular municipality by R.A. 7776 signed on June 21, 1969;
3. Dingalan was created as Municipal District in May 1956 and a regular municipality on 16 June 1962 by virtue of R.A. 3980; and
4. Dinalungan was created as municipality on 16 June 1966 by virtue of R.A. 4759.
On 21 November 1978 the Province of Aurora was created under Batas Pambansa Blg. 07 and subsequently ratified through a plebiscite in May 1979. The Province was named Aurora in honor of Doña Aurora Aragon Quezon. The Province of Aurora celebrates its Foundation Day simultaneously with Doña Aurora’s birthday- February 19.
On 23 May 2002, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo issued Executive order No. 103 that redefines the composition of Central Luzon and Southern Tagalog administrative region. The province of Aurora was included as the seventh province of Central Luzon while the rest of Southern Tagalog was divided into two regions, namely, the CALABARZON and the MIMAROPA regions.

B. Topography Aurora covers a portion of the Sierra Madre Mountain ranges but has flat lands that are unevenly distributed through out the province. The mountainous terrain is along the western part whose minimal and steep slopes gradually level towards the east. Flat lands are situated near the coastline and foothill having slopes of 0-2 and 5-15 percent, respectively. The municipality of Dingalan, in the south, has the most irregular topography with only small flat land portions. Considering the overall nature of its topography, the province is expected to have adequate drainage system. In fact, serving as the main drainage arteries of Aurora are composed of six (6) major rivers namely: Aguang River in Baler, Calabgan River in Casiguran, Ditale and Dibutunan River in Dipaculao and Ibuna and Singawan Rivers in Dingalan. All of these rivers drain into Pacific Ocean. In terms of internal drainage, the overall situation is considered satisfactory. On the other hand, the existing condition of the external drainage system is not encouraging. During heavy downpours, excessive surface water runs-of easily which causes rivers to overflow. These situations have been brought about by illegal loggings activities and the kaingin (slash and turn) method of cultivation.

C. Climate and Rainfall
Aurora is characterized by Type IV climate having rainfall which is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year. The province lies within the typhoon belt.
It experiences two (2) main wind currents. The trade wind reaches the province generally from easterly direction from October to March and southwesterly direction the rest of the year. In Casiguran, the wind comes from the North from October to March and from the South from April to September. The average annual wind speed is four (4) knots.
Rainfall Rainfall in 2009 is maximum during the months of October, November, September, and
May. The lowest rainfall is during the month of February.

D. Accessibility
Transport system in the province that plies to its different municipalities are now in big number. The construction of good roads and more farm-to-market roads gives a greater impact to the accessibility of transportation in the different municipalities and its barangays.
11
On land transport, tricycle and jeepney’s serve the area within the town proper and nearby barangays. For inter-municipality and for long distance travel, jeeps and converted hand tractors are commonly used.
D’Liner Bus serves as a transport from Baler-Maria Aurora-Dipaculao-Casiguran via Pantabangan vice versa. Maria Aurora Express serves as a transport from Baler-Maria Aurora-Dipaculao via Pantabangan to Cabanatuan City and vice versa. Lizardo Trans is the transport service bound from Baler- Maria Aurora-Dipaculao via San Jose City to Baguio City and vice versa. Genesis Bus Company is the only airconditioned bus and transport that plies from Baler to Manila via Pantabangan road and vice versa. However vans are now available as an alternative means of transport.
The three (3) existing airports in the municipalities of Casiguran, Dilasag and San Luis serves the province for air transport if ever commercial plane fly from Manila to Baler and vice versa.
E. Number of Barangays

Chapter III
DDeemmooggrraapphhiicc PPrroocceesssseess aanndd CChhaarraacctteerriissttiiccss This section contains population data and vital statistics. Population data were gathered from private as well as collective households. A private household consists of a group of persons who sleep in the same dwelling unit and have a common arrangement for the preparation and consumption of food. Persons who sleep with a household but individually cook their meal or eat elsewhere are considered separate households. Collective households consists of persons living in collective, quarters such as welfare institutions, penal and corrective institutions, dormitories, military camps, and lodging houses. While a complete count of the population was made, data on other population characteristics such as language or dialect generally spoken at home, school attendance, literacy and economic activity of the person were collected on a sampling basis. All persons were enumerated in their usual place of residence, the geographic place where the enumerated person usually resides. Vital statistics, on the other hand, are facts related to births, death, fetal deaths, and marriages collected systematically by civil registration and compiled numerically by local and national offices involved. The National Statistics Office is responsible for the collection, compilation, and dissemination of population data and vital documents. A.
