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.

History & Identity

Its story

The province says people lived in the area before the town was set up, and Spanish missionaries recorded several groups there.[10]

On 3 May 1817 the town was transferred to the Province of Pangasinan; earlier it had belonged to a Nueva Ecija military district under Pampanga.[10]

It was later put back under Nueva Ecija, and returned to Pangasinan in 1902.[10]

In 1903 the Philippine Commission merged Natividad into San Nicolas, and in 1906 it separated Natividad again.[11, 12]

Bamboo is a main product, and the town has held a Kawayan Festival since 2014 around the feast of its patron saint, St. Nicholas.[10]
