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[35]

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

Covers about 92 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 32 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
31.8% of people[22]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

About 32 of every 100 people in Bulalacao lived below the poverty line in 2021 (31.8%)[22]

History & Identity

Bulalacao's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Bulalacao in Now

Former name
San Pedro[4]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe provincial history page says a sinister bird called "bulalacao", seen whenever people were dying, gave the place its name after an epidemic.[9]

Republic Act No. 2789, approved 19 June 1960, changed the name of the municipality to San Pedro.[10]

Republic Act No. 5646, approved 21 June 1969, changed the name of San Pedro to Bulalakao.[11]

Its story

A Blair and Robertson account lists Bulalacao as a dependency of the Recollect mission at Mangarin.[12]

In 1905, Act No. 1280 made Bulalacao larger by joining the Mansalay and Mangarin municipalities to it, and the government was seated at Bulalacao.[13]

Act No. 3498 of 1928 reestablished Mansalay and Bulalacao as separate municipalities, each with the territory it had before consolidation.[14]

The provincial history page says fires in 1940 and 1950 led the town council to ask Congress for the name San Pedro; the new name caused mail to go to San Pedro, Laguna.[9]

Congress changed the name to San Pedro in 1960 and to Bulalakao in 1969.[10, 11]

Timeline

  1. 1 February 1905

    Act No. 1280 took effect, merging Mansalay and Mangarin into Bulalacao.[13]
