Life & Economy

About 11 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: 10.7% of people^[19]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 11 of every 100 people in Aringay lived below the poverty line in 2021 (10.7%)^[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 8.8% and 12.7%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Stories from Ilocos Region

Aringay has no Story of its own yet. This one is about Ilocos Region, which Aringay is part of.

Film, 1:00
Ilocos Region
Ilocos: our dialect, salt and a union
The oldest name of the Ilocos is said to mean 'our dialect'. One Ilocos split in 1818, La Union was named in 1850, and Pangasinan is said to mean 'where salt is made'.
Why It's Called That

All Stories

How it got its name

Local traditionA local tale says the name comes from Aring, a datu's daughter who was saved from drowning while her lover cried out, "Aring, ay!"^[10]

Its story

Aringay began as a fishing village at the mouth of the Aringay River.^[10]

It was set up as a municipality in 1741 while part of Pangasinan, and it was among the towns that formed La Union in 1850.^[10]

In October 1903 the Philippine Commission joined Caba and Galiano to Aringay, with the town hall staying at Aringay.^[11]

Caba later regained its own municipal status; the Caba page of the provincial government puts this in 1908.^[12]

The Sallapak (La Union Centennial) Tunnel in the town was meant for trains to Baguio and was left unused before the Second World War. Local people say the Japanese army used it as a headquarters.^[10]

Timeline
