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 II^[32]

No dry season. The rain is heaviest from December to February, and no month is truly dry.

Covers about 74 of every 100 parts of its land. Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 25 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: 24.9% 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 25 of every 100 people in Pagbilao lived below the poverty line in 2021 (24.9%)^[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 18.4% and 31.4%, with 90% confidence.

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

CALABARZON
CALABARZON: every name was something else
CALABARZON is made of five province names, and most of them changed. Batangas was Kumintang, then Taal; Quezon was Kalilayan, then Tayabas. Cavite's hook story is told as a tradition.
Why It's Called That

All Stories

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town's history page tells a story that Spanish missionaries in 1725 pointed at a bamboo bed and a winnowing basket and asked the name of the place. The villagers answered papag and bilao, and the Spaniards joined the words and shortened papag to Pag, giving Pagbilao.^[10]

Its story

Local traditionThe town's own history says a couple, Pablo and Rita, travelled to the place early in the 17th century with rice seedlings and settled at the site of today's poblacion.^[10]

Local traditionIn 1725 a man named Don Luis Felipe is said to have ruled the small settlement, and Spanish missionaries arrived that year.^[10]

An NHCP marker says the Franciscans founded the parish at Binahaan in 1688, under Padre Cristobal Mortanchez, and moved the church to the present town site in 1730 under the patron saint Catherine of Alexandria.^[11]

The stone church was started in 1845 and finished with its convent and tower in 1877.^[11]

The church was destroyed during the liberation in 1945 and repaired in 1954.^[11]
