Geography
Lobo occupies the southeastern corner of the Batangas mainland, bounded by Taysan to the north, San Juan to the east, Batangas City to the west and the Verde Island Passage to the south. Elevation runs from sea level to 905 metres, which is why the road in from Batangas City is slow; see how to get to Lobo.

Population, household, area and income-class figures come from the Philippine Statistics Authority, in several cases via PhilAtlas. Electoral figures come from COMELEC. Where a figure originates in a single secondary source it is marked as such rather than promoted. Corrections are welcome; see about.
