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[33]

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

Pampanga's economy made ₱740.3 billion of goods and services in 2025, ₱292,847 for each person. About 2 of every 100 people lived below the poverty line in 2023.
Economy, 2025Gross domestic productThe value of all the goods and services made in a place in a year: the size of its economy.

1st class[4]
About 2 of every 100 people in Pampanga lived below the poverty line in 2023 (2.0%)[21]

The PSA's survey puts it between 1.0% and 2.9%, with 95% confidence. The poverty line was ₱38,397 a person for the year. As the PSA counts it, without the City of Angeles.

The PSA notes: Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2023 poverty incidence among population should be used with caution.

Local traditionThe province's own page derives Pampanga from the Kapampangan for riverside, where the first settlements lay along the Rio Grande de la Pampanga.[12]

Its story

The national marker says Indo-Malays lived along the upper riverbank. The Spaniards conquered Pampanga on 24 May 1571 and, after pacifying it, inaugurated it as a province on or about 11 December 1571; in 1576 it became an encomienda.[9, 11]

Under Spain it supplied the colony with rice, and it rose against Spanish abuses once in the 16th century and three times in the 17th; Francisco Maniago led one armed revolt against forced labour and heavy taxes.[11]

Over time eight of its towns went to Bataan, five to Nueva Ecija and four to Tarlac, those last four being later returned. From 1762 to 1764 its town of Bacolor served as the capital of the Philippines under Spain.[11]

The first civil provincial government under American rule was set up on 13 February 1901, with 22 towns and its capital at Bacolor. On 15 August 1904, on the orders of Governor Macario Arnedo, the provincial capitol moved to San Fernando, which became a city in 2001.[10, 11, 13, 14]

Its people fought the Japanese hard in the Second World War. A proclamation of 1982 made 11 December, the day of its founding, Pampanga Day every year, in place of 13 February, the day of its first civil government.[9, 11]
