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[30]

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 24 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
23.8% of people[18]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

About 24 of every 100 people in Bolinao lived below the poverty line in 2021 (23.8%)[18]

History & Identity

How it got its name

Local traditionA boli-bolinao tree of the molave family grew by a spring in the town, and the town's page says the present name comes from it.[9]

Local traditionA local legend tells of a lass called Anao and a chieftain's son. Their marriage moved the chief's seat to her home, and the name Bolinao is said to join Boli-bolinao and Anao.[9]

Local traditionFolk etymology links the name to a fish called monamon, which Tagalogs, Bicolanos and Visayans call bolinao.[9]

Local traditionThe provincial page lists three legends: the monamon fish, the Pamulinawen tree, and a couple named Bolido and Anao.[10]

Its story

The town page says Captain Pedro Lombi founded the town in 1575, when it was called Binabalian, meaning old town, with a few hundred settlers.[9]

The town was later moved to the mainland because of pirate attacks. The first Augustinian priest began evangelising in 1585, and the church was built in 1609.[9]

The same page says no law or decree creating the town has been found.[9]

Bolinao and other western Pangasinan towns once belonged to Zambales. Act No. 1004 of 21 November 1903 annexed Alaminos, Bolinao, San Isidro and Infanta to Pangasinan.[11]
