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.

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

History & Identity

Its story

By 1583 Candaba was already counted as a Spanish encomienda of about two thousand men, and it had its own alcalde-mayor.[9]

A 1591 list of encomiendas gives Candaba to two named Spaniards, with roughly two thousand tributes and an Augustinian convent.[10]

Candaba later ranked among the six Augustinian convents of Pampanga that held a vote in the order's chapter.[11]

In 1903 the American-era Philippine Commission kept Candaba as a municipality with its existing boundaries when it cut Pampanga from 23 towns to 17.[12]

The town's own website describes the Candaba Swamp as the remnant of a lake that belonged to a chain of lakes reaching Tarlac and Pangasinan.[13]
