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 III[33]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

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

Life & Economy

About 15 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
14.8% of people[20]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 15 of every 100 people in Sariaya lived below the poverty line in 2021 (14.8%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 12.3% and 17.3%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

How it got its name

Sources differOne account traces the name to an old river called Sadyaya. The town's page says the change from Sadyaya to Sariaya was a natural shift made by Batangas people after the Spaniards came.[10]

Local traditionA second account, from folktales, says the name comes from a native woman called Saria. A Spanish soldier asked her the name of the pueblo, she thought he asked her own name, and she answered Saria.[10]

Local traditionA third account says Moro pirates raided the town, found its written local laws fair and just, and called it Shariah, a Muslim word for good law.[10]

Its story

The town's written history begins with Augustinian missionaries who found a Malay settlement, now Barangay Castañas on Tayabas Bay. They left in 1583 because the area passed to the Franciscans.[10]

The Franciscans reached the settlement on 17 April 1599 with Fr. Miguel de Linares and built a first church of light materials, replaced in 1605.[10]

Moro pirates raided the coast and burned the settlement. In 1605 it was put under Tayabas, and in 1631 it became independent again and moved north, away from the coast.[10]

In 1907 Act No. 1721 separated the barrio of Candelaria from Sariaya to form a new municipality.[11]

    The Franciscans reached the settlement on Tayabas Bay on 17 April 1599.[10]

  2. 1631

    The town regained independence from Tayabas and moved away from the coast to escape Moro raids.[10]

  3. 1703

    A stone church was built after the town transferred to the place now called Barangay Tumbaga 1.[10]

  4. 1743

    A strong earthquake brought down the church belfry, and the weakened crater wall on Mount Banahaw collapsed, sending water, mud and rock that destroyed the Tumbaga townsite.[10]

  5. 23 October 1903

    Act No. 956 (23 October 1903) kept Sariaya within its own boundaries when Tayabas municipalities were reduced from thirty-one to twenty-seven.[12]

  6. 20 September 1907

    Act No. 1721 (20 September 1907) separated the barrio of Candelaria from Sariaya to make the new municipality of Candelaria.[11]
