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^[32]

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 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: 6.3% 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: 1st class^[4]

About 6 of every 100 people in Pila lived below the poverty line in 2021 (6.3%)^[21]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 4.8% and 7.8%, with 90% confidence.

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

Its story

The 1939 church marker says a Franciscan, Juan de Florencia, was the first priest to serve Pila, in 1578.^[10]

It says the first church and convent were finished in 1616.^[10]

The same marker says that, to escape frequent floods, the town was relocated in 1800 from Pagalangan to where it stands now.^[10]

The 2000 town-center marker says Pila first stood at Pinagbayanan and then moved to Pagalangan, and that the Spanish gave it the title La Noble Villa de Pila early in the 17th century.^[11]

It says the town later moved to the sitio of Santa Clara, on an estate owned by the brothers Felizardo, Miguel and Rafael de Rivera, and that Felizardo de Rivera drew its plan, still visible as an example of Spanish town planning.^[11]

The town center was declared a National Historical Landmark on 17 May 2000.^[11]

In 1903 Act No. 939 listed Pila among the Laguna municipalities that kept their boundaries, so it was not merged with another town.^[12]

On 14 October 1949 Executive Order No. 282 took eight barrios out of Pila to form the new municipality of Victoria, and Pila kept the rest of its territory.^[13]
