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 I[29]

Two seasons: dry from November to April, wet for the rest of the year, with the heaviest rain from June to September.

Life & Economy

About 6 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
6.2% 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 6 of every 100 people in Pasuquin lived below the poverty line in 2021 (6.2%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 4.6% and 7.7%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Its story

Pasuquin began as a visita, a small outlying mission, of the Bacarra ministry. It became a parish in 1784 under Santiago el Mayor, Saint James the Greater. When Ilocos Norte was set up by Royal Decree in 1818, Pasuquin was named one of its original towns. In 1903 the Philippine Commission kept Pasuquin with its own boundaries when it cut the province from fifteen municipalities to ten.[9, 10]
