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.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 16 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
16.0% 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
1st class[4]
About 16 of every 100 people in Sison lived below the poverty line in 2021 (16.0%)[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 13.3% and 18.7%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
Sison was formed by joining the towns of Artacho and Alava. The province's page says a bill by Senator Pedro Maria Sison approving the fusion was approved on 11 May 1918. The number of the law was not found.[9]

How it got its name

The town was named Sison in honor of Senator Pedro Maria Sison, who sponsored the bill for the merger.[9]

Its story

The province says Sison began as Alava, a barrio of San Fabian named after the Spanish province of Alava.[9]

In 1903 the Philippine Commission merged the municipality of Alava into San Fabian.[10]

In 1906 another Act restored Alava as a separate municipality, together with eight others in Pangasinan.[11]

Meanwhile, the towns of Labayug and Esperanza were joined into a larger town called Artacho.[9]

Alava and Artacho later joined to form a bigger town with more revenue, which became Sison in 1918.[9]

Sison is an agricultural town, and rice is its main produce.[9]

Timeline

  1. 8 October 1903

    The Philippine Commission merged Alava into San Fabian.[10]

  2. 31 October 1906

    Act No. 1556 restored Alava as a separate municipality.[11]

  3. 11 May 1918

    Artacho and Alava were fused and the town was named Sison.[9]
