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 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
14.5% 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
2nd class[4]
About 14 of every 100 people in Santa Maria lived below the poverty line in 2021 (14.5%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 12.1% and 16.9%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
The provincial page says the people of Santa Maria applied in 1877 to separate from Tayug and the petition was granted. The decree itself was not read; Act No. 1556 of 31 October 1906 later reconstituted the town after the 1903 merger.[9, 10]

How it got its name

The town is named after the Virgin Mary, its patron saint.[9]

Its story

The province says Santa Maria was founded on 10 January 1855 and was joined to Tayug.[9]

It was set up briefly as a town in 1863 but was absorbed by Tayug for financial reasons.[9]

In 1877 the people applied to separate from Tayug, and the petition was granted.[9]

In 1903 the Philippine Commission merged Santa Maria into Tayug, and in 1906 it separated the town again.[10, 11]

Rice is the main product of the town.[9]
