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
11.9% of people[19]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

1st class[4]
About 12 of every 100 people in Plaridel lived below the poverty line in 2021 (11.9%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 9.8% and 14.0%, with 90% confidence.

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

Everything listed for Plaridel in Now

Created
The town was renamed Plaridel from Quingua by Commonwealth Act No. 26, enacted without executive approval on 8 September 1936, in memory of Marcelo H. del Pilar. This is a renaming law, not the law that first created the town.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe older name Quingua is explained by a local legend: the friars asked who had cleared the land, the Pampangos answered that the Tagalogs did it, and the place was then called Quingua.[10]

The town took the name Plaridel in honor of Marcelo H. del Pilar, a hero of Bulacan.[9]

Its story

The provincial page says the place can be traced in records to 1595, when it was a wide plain of forest and cogon grass crossed by the Angat and Tabang rivers.[10]

Local traditionAugustinian missionaries from Calumpit visited the area and encouraged the settlers to clear it, according to the provincial page.[10]

In 1903 the Philippine Commission joined Pulilan to Quingua as one municipality seated at Quingua.[11]

The town was renamed Plaridel by law in 1936 and celebrated the change with a ceremony on 29 December 1936, per the provincial page.[9, 10]

Timeline

  1. 1595

    Records of the place are said to go back to 1595, in the early Spanish period.[10]

  2. 8 October 1903

    Act No. 932 joined Pulilan to Quingua.[11]

  3. 8 September 1936

    Commonwealth Act No. 26 changed the name of Quingua to Plaridel.[9]
