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[33]

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.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 20 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
20.0% 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
4th class[4]
About 20 of every 100 people in Rizal lived below the poverty line in 2021 (20.0%)[21]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 15.3% and 24.6%, with 90% confidence.

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

Government & Leaders

A mayor leads Rizal. Its local laws, called ordinances, are passed by the Sangguniang Bayan (the municipal council), led by the vice mayor. The mayor, the vice mayor and the council's elected members serve three-year terms, and none may serve more than three in a row.[14, 15]

History & Identity

How it got its name

Act No. 2390 of 28 February 1914 changed the name of the municipality of Manawan in Cagayan to Rizal. The act does not say why the name Rizal was chosen.[10]

Its story

In 1903 the Philippine Commission joined the municipality of Malaueg to the municipality of Mauanan, with the seat of government at Mauanan. No source seen links Mauanan to the Manawan that became Rizal, but the spelling and the province suggest the same town.[11]

A 1914 act changed the name of Manawan to Rizal.[10]

A regional government page describes Rizal as a town on the Cagayan-Apayao border with a cool climate, and as the home of the legendary figures Biuag and Malana.[12]

Timeline

  1. 15 October 1903

    Act No. 944 combined Malaueg with the municipality of Mauanan (possibly the same town as Manawan, later Rizal).[11]

  2. 28 February 1914

    Act No. 2390 changed the name of Manawan to Rizal.[10]

  3. 8 December 1933

    Act No. 4119 authorised moving the sitios of Lattut, Capacuan and Macatal from Ripang to Rizal.[13]
