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 IV[30]

Rain spread fairly evenly through the year, with no dry season.

Covers about 87 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 19 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
19.2% of people[18]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 19 of every 100 people in Malalag lived below the poverty line in 2021 (19.2%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 16.1% and 22.3%, with 90% confidence.

Sources differOne account in the provincial profile says Malalag was named for a famous chieftain, Datu Alag.[9]

Sources differThe other account says the people named it after a creek in the town whose water looked yellow, calling it malalag nga tubig, meaning yellow water.[9]

Its story

Malalag was made from the southern part of Padada, with the barrio of Malalag as seat and Bulacan, Bolton, Santa Maria, New Baclayon and Sulop as its other barrios.[10]

The order said it would begin to exist once its mayor, vice-mayor and most councilors were appointed and qualified and the provincial treasurer was certified as able to meet the minimum wage law.[10]

The provincial profile says its first civil government was run by Col. Antonio Lanzar.[9]
