Etymology


The name "Lobo" may have come from:

  1. the Spanish and Tagalog term for "wolf", lobo
  2. the River Lobo, which flows through Lobo itself, or
  3. the name of a group of early inhabitants, known as Lolobos.[citation needed]

The town was proclaimed as the "Atis Capital of the Philippines" through Resolution 2011-61 in September 2011.[1]


Geography


Lobo is located at 13°39′N 121°15′E. The town is located near the southern tip of Batangas province, about 145 kilometres (90 mi) from Manila.

Lobo has white sand beaches whose ocean floor slopes gradually for nearly 200 metres (660 ft) before a drop-off.[citation needed] It also has protected mangrove forests and fish sanctuaries.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 175.03 square kilometres (67.58 sq mi) [6] constituting 5.61% of the 3,119.75-square-kilometre- (1,204.54 sq mi) total area of Batangas.

In 2005, the Lobo municipal government declared the Submarine Garden a fish sanctuary.

When the villagers, fishermen and local fisheries officials discovered that the sanctuary attracted more and more fishes, the entire 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) shoreline and 300 metres (980 ft) fronting the shores have been declared a protected area.

Fronting Calapan City in Oriental Mindoro province and nearby Verde Island, the view is dotted by small boats and passenger ships dragging tails of foam.[clarification needed]
