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.

About 19 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.

History & Identity

Created
The town's own history page says that in 1671 two native chiefs, Don Domingo Manguisesal and Don Diego Catongal, and the Dominican priest Fr. Juan Camacho began the foundations of the town. No creation law was found.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionFolk tale: three missionary priests were quarrelling over the site. One said 'mala' (no good), the second said 'si' (yes), the third said 'yqui' (so what). The locals, who did not understand, took it as the name of the place, 'mala-si-yqui'.[11]

Its story

Before it was a town, the area was used as ranches for cattle grazing. Residents lived far from the churches of Bayambang and San Carlos, and a Dominican priest worked to gather them into a town with a church.[9]

The town's history page says the founders went to Lingayen and Manila to get approval, and that the town's early leaders were called founders, not captains.[9]

Under Spain, municipal officials were appointed on the advice of the priest or Spanish officials, who often meddled in civil matters. Tax collectors took payment in kind when people could not pay in money.[9]

In October 1903 Act No. 931, which cut Pangasinan's municipalities from 37 to 25, kept Malasiqui's boundaries as they were.[12]

In 1961 Executive Order No. 446 created the new municipality of Basista from barrios of San Carlos, Bayambang and Malasiqui (spelled Malasique in the order). Malasiqui gave up its barrio of Patakbo.[13]

Malasiqui is an agro-industrial town, producing meat, poultry, eggs, vegetables and corn products.[11]
