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[32]

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

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 8 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
8.4% of people[20]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 8 of every 100 people in Guagua lived below the poverty line in 2021 (8.4%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 7.0% and 9.8%, with 90% confidence.

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

Government & Leaders

A mayor leads Guagua. Its local laws, called ordinances, are passed by the Sangguniang Bayan (the municipal council), led by the vice mayor. The mayor, the vice mayor and the council's elected members serve three-year terms, and none may serve more than three in a row.[13, 14]

History & Identity

Guagua's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Guagua in Now

Created
The town's own history page says Guagua was founded as a town in 1590, with its first parish church, though some historians say 1587. No creation law for the Spanish-era town was found.[9]

How it got its name

The town's history page, citing Fray Diego Bergaño (1732), says the old name Wawa came from the word alwa or alawa, meaning the mouth of a river.[9]

The Augustinian friars changed the spelling of Wawa to Guagua in 1590. The same page says no clear reason is known for the change.[9]

Sources differOne historian suggested the Spaniards changed the name because Wawa also means saliva.[9]

Its story

By the town's own account, Guagua was founded as a town in 1590 under the Augustinian friars, who built the first parish church; some historians say 1587.[9]

In 1603 Chinese people fleeing trouble in Manila took refuge in Guagua, and many stayed and formed a community there.[9]

In 1762, during the British invasion of Manila, about 900 Chinese residents of Guagua plotted an uprising against the Spanish. The plot failed.[9]

The present church dates from 1772, and the Manila railway later made Guagua a busy river port for the province.[9]

American forces took Guagua on 15 May 1899 in the Philippine-American War.[9]

In 1903 the Philippine Commission made Guagua absorb the town of Betis.[11]

In the early American period Guagua became known for plays, music and poetry.[9]

In the Second World War a defense line from Porac to Guagua was set up to slow the Japanese advance toward Bataan.[9]
