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[35]

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 14 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
14.1% of people[22]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 14 of every 100 people in Mangaldan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (14.1%)[22]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 12.0% and 16.3%, with 90% confidence.

History & Identity

Created
No creation law found. The province says Mangaldan became a Spanish encomienda in 1591 and that the Dominicans made it a vicarite under St. Thomas Aquinas on 2 June 1600.[9]

How it got its name

Sources differOne account: a Spanish missionary asked a villager the name of the place. The villager thought he was asking for water and answered 'manga-alay-adan', 'Adan is fetching'.[11]

Sources differA second account: the town took its name from its first native chief, Babaldan.[11]

Sources differA third account: villagers who gathered fruit from a big mango tree in the plaza quarrelled over it, and the quarrel, 'man-nga-ngal-ngalan', gave the town its name.[11]

Sources differA fourth account, from Fr. Raymundo Suarez, OP: the name comes from 'alar' or 'alad', a bamboo fence, because the place began as a fenced ranch.[11]

Its story

The town's own 2024 profile says Mangaldan began as a cattle ranch that settlers divided among themselves.[12]

The province calls it the third oldest town in Pangasinan: a Spanish encomienda in 1591, and a Dominican vicarite honouring St. Thomas Aquinas on 2 June 1600.[9]

The town profile says Mangaldan was the third Dominican parish in Pangasinan, after Binalatongan and Calasiao, and that it was founded in June 1600.[12]

In 1902 Act No. 332 separated six barrios of Mangaldan, then spelled Magaldan, to form the new municipality of Mapandan.[13]

In January 1945, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Mangaldan and nearby towns on the Lingayen Gulf.[14]

Mangaldan is known for pindang, a cured carabao meat, and has held a Pindang Festival since 2012.[9]
