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^[29]

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 83 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 14 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: 13.6% of people^[17]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 14 of every 100 people in Gattaran lived below the poverty line in 2021 (13.6%)^[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 11.1% and 16.2%, 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

Sources differThe Dominican historian Julian Malumbres traced the name to the Ibanag word gattad, meaning mountain-side, because small mountains ring the place.^[9]

Sources differAnother writer, Ed de Rivera Castillet, gave the root as gattac, meaning the steep bank of a river.^[9]

Its story

People of the poblacion fled the Japanese in late 1944 and took shelter in the Zinundungan valley.^[9]

In 1950 the barrios of Callapangan and Zinundungan were split off to form the town of Lasam.^[9]
