The PSA's age table prints a both-sexes count for 80 - 84 (5,948 printed against 3,672 men and women) and 85 and over (5,090 printed against 2,276 men and women) that is not the sum of its men and women, although its men and women columns add up exactly to the Camarines Norte totals.

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 II[36]

No dry season. The rain is heaviest from December to February, and no month is truly dry.

History & Identity

Camarines Norte's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Camarines Norte in Now

Created
Made a province when Camarines was divided in 1829, and later joined again as Ambos Camarines, it was re-established under Act No. 2809, approved 3 March 1919, and set up on 15 April 1920 under Executive Order No. 22[9, 10, 11]

How it got its name

Camarines comes from the camarines, huts or rice granaries, that the Spaniards found in great numbers on the Bicol peninsula; in 1574 they named the region Los Camarines.[9, 12]

It bears the name of the former Province of Camarines Norte, which had been consolidated with Camarines Sur into Ambos Camarines; Act No. 2809 of 1919 authorized the Governor-General to re-establish it and named the rest of Ambos Camarines the Province of Camarines Sur.[10]

Its story

Drawn by the gold mines of Paracale, whose name the province's history reads as "a place of diggers", Juan de Salcedo took possession of it in December 1571. He came back with a larger force in 1573, and the Spanish settlements set up in Camarines from 1573 to 1576 began Spanish administrative control of the Bicol peninsula.[9]

Camarines was a single province until 1829, when it was divided into Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur. The two were joined as Ambos Camarines in 1854, parted in 1857 and joined again in 1893.[9]

In April 1898 the Katipuneros of Daet, led by Ildefonso Moreno, rose against Spain; the revolt was crushed and its leaders were killed. On 30 December 1898, with Spain gone, Daet unveiled a monument to José Rizal paid for by the people of the province, which the marker at the site calls the first Rizal monument in the Philippines.[9, 13]

American troops landed at Mercedes on 4 March 1900, and in 1901 the territory was organized as one province, Ambos Camarines. Act No. 2809 of 3 March 1919 provided for Camarines Norte to be re-established, with Daet as its capital, and Miguel Lukban became its first governor.[9, 10, 14, 15]

Sources differWenceslao Vinzons's men fought the invading Japanese at Laniton, in Basud, in December 1941: on the 18th by the province's history and a marker at a bridge in Basud, on the 17th by the marker honouring Vinzons in Daet. He was captured on 8 July 1942 and killed by the Japanese.[9, 13]

A 1993 proclamation made 3 March 1994 a special day for the province's 75th founding anniversary. A 1994 proclamation moved that celebration to 15 April, as the 74th, citing the National Historical Institute's foundation date of 15 April 1920, when Orden Ejecutiva Num 22 was implemented. The 104th anniversary of its provincial status, in 2024, coincided with the 20th Bantayog Festival, held from 12 April to 10 May.[11, 16, 17]
