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 I[35]

Two seasons: dry from November to April, wet for the rest of the year, with the heaviest rain from June to September.

Covers about 61 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.

About 9 of every 100 people in Bulacan lived below the poverty line in 2023 (8.6%)[23]

The PSA's survey puts it between 6.6% and 10.6%, with 95% confidence. The poverty line was ₱41,511 a person for the year.

The PSA notes: Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2023 poverty incidence among population should be used with caution.

History & Identity

Bulacan's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Bulacan in Now

Created
Counted by the province from 15 August 1578, the founding date its Provincial Administrative Code recognizes; its civil government was set up under Act No. 88, enacted 27 February 1901, with Malolos as its capital[10, 11]

How it got its name

Sources differThe province's own accounts give two origins. One is bulak, the cotton or kapok that grew there before the Spaniards came; its main history page also reads the name as a shortening of bulak-lakan. The other derives it from burak, the pottery clay of the riverbanks of Calumpit.[12, 13]

Its story

It began, the province's history says, as fishing settlements on the shore of Manila Bay whose people moved inland to farm the well-watered plain behind it.[12]

Bulacan was one of the eight provinces that answered the Katipunan's call to arms against Spain. Its people include Marcelo H. del Pilar, the propagandist, and Gregorio del Pilar, the young general of the revolution.[12]

A republic took shelter at Biak-na-Bato, in the San Miguel Mountains, uniting Aguinaldo's fleeing forces with the Katipuneros of Bulacan. The Pact of Biak-na-Bato was signed in 1897.[12, 13]

From 10 September 1898 to 29 March 1899 Malolos was the capital of the First Philippine Republic: its Congress sat in the Barasoain Church and President Aguinaldo held office at the Malolos Church, and the Malolos Constitution was drafted and ratified there. The Republic was inaugurated at the Barasoain Church, an event the province marks every 23 January.[12, 14]

Its Provincial Administrative Code of 2007 recognizes 15 August 1578, the feast of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, the province's patroness, as its founding date, and the province celebrates the day every year.[10, 15]

The Philippine Commission organized its civil government in 1901 with the capital at Malolos. In 1975 its town of Valenzuela was placed in the new Metropolitan Manila.[11, 16]
