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.

Life & Economy

About 13 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
13.0% of people[19]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 13 of every 100 people in Macabebe lived below the poverty line in 2021 (13.0%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 10.7% and 15.2%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Macabebe became a pueblo in 1575, when the Augustinians set up its parish of San Nicolas de Tolentino, according to an NHCP marker at its church.[9]

Its story

Augustinian friars founded the parish of San Nicolas de Tolentino in Macabebe in 1575, at the same time the place became a town.[9]

In June 1898, during the revolution, the Spanish army made the church the headquarters of its command for central and northern Luzon.[9]

Revolutionary forces under General Isidoro Torres attacked the Spanish force at Macabebe and pushed it back on 25 June 1898.[10]

The town was taken on 28 June 1898, and revolutionaries burned the church on 29 April 1899.[9]

Japanese forces used the church as their headquarters from 1942 to 1945, and Filipino and American troops took it in January 1945.[9]
