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[33]

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

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
9.0% of people[21]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 Malolos City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (9.0%)[21]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 7.3% and 10.7%, with 90% confidence.

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

How it got its name

Local traditionThe city's history page says the name probably comes from the Tagalog word paluslos, meaning downwards: Spanish missionaries asked a riverside barrio for its name and were told the river flowed downstream.[11]

Its story

The city's page says the town grew from a small settlement started by Spanish missionaries and was made a town after a big church was built.[11]

The First Philippine Republic was inaugurated on 23 January 1899 at Barasoain Church in Malolos.[11]

The provincial history page says the Malolos and Barasoain churches served as the headquarters of President Aguinaldo and of the legislature from 10 September 1898 to 29 March 1899, and that the Malolos Constitution was drafted and ratified there.[12]

Act No. 932 of 1903 made Malolos absorb the municipalities of Barasoain and Santa Isabel.[13]
