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[30]

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

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
11.1% 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 11 of every 100 people in Aritao lived below the poverty line in 2021 (11.1%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 9.0% and 13.3%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

How it got its name

Local traditionThe provincial town history says the town was once called Ajanas. It was renamed Aritao from the Isinay words Ari-Tau, meaning Our King, after an Igorot king called Mengal.[10]

Its story

In January 1767 the Spanish missionary Fr. Manuel Corripio persuaded an Igorot king, Ari Mengal, and his tribe to settle in the lowland that is now the town site. Fr. Tomas Gutierez later converted them to Christianity.[10]

In 1777 Aritao and the nearby places were merged into one pueblo under the name Aritao, and the Manila authorities approved it.[10]

According to the town history, the application for township was approved by the Secretary of the Interior on 30 June 1917, on the initiative of councilor Jose Aleman. Many settlers then came from Pangasinan, the Ilocos region, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan and the Mountain Provinces.[10]

Timeline

  1. January 1767

    Fr. Manuel Corripio brought the Igorot king Ari Mengal and his tribe down to the lowland site of Aritao.[10]

  2. 1777

    Aritao and adjacent places were merged into one pueblo named Aritao, with approval from Manila.[10]

  3. 30 June 1917
