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 III^[31]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Covers about 91 of every 100 parts of its land. Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 9 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: 8.5% of people^[19]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: 1st class^[4]

About 9 of every 100 people in Rosario lived below the poverty line in 2021 (8.5%)^[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 6.8% and 10.3%, with 90% confidence.

The PSA rates this estimate's reliability as acceptable rather than high: read it as a guide.

Its story

Rosario was already a town in the 1840s, since San Juan, then a village of Rosario, was made a separate municipality in 1848, according to San Juan's own history page.^[9]

In 1949 twelve barrios on the northern side of Rosario, including Lumang Bayan, were taken out to form the new municipality of Padre Garcia.^[10]

The Sangguniang Bayan of Rosario named 9 June as the town's Foundation Day, and in 1999 President Estrada declared that day Araw ng Rosario.^[11]
