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[31]

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

Covers about 57 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 16 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
16.2% 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
2nd class[4]
About 16 of every 100 people in Santa Fe lived below the poverty line in 2021 (16.2%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 12.8% and 19.6%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Republic Act No. 2179, approved 2 May 1959, recreated the Municipal District of Imugan and changed its name to Santa Fe. The district had first been founded in 1917, says the town's page.[9, 10]

How it got its name

The provincial page says the settlers took the name Santa Fe in honor of the patron saint, San Jose-Santa Fe. The town was earlier called Imugan, and Republic Act No. 2179 changed the name in 1959.[9, 10]

Its story

The area was an Igorot settlement in Spanish times. Its original people were the Kalanguya, followed by Pangasinenses and Tagalogs.[10]

The municipal district of Imugan was founded in 1917 under Governor General Francis Harrison, according to the town's page.[10]
