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.

Covers about 65 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 7 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: 6.6% 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 7 of every 100 people in San Mateo lived below the poverty line in 2021 (6.6%)^[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 4.8% and 8.5%, with 90% confidence.

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

Everything listed for San Mateo in Now

Created: The town's own history page says Executive Order No. 20 of 29 February 1908 formally made San Mateo an independent municipality by dividing it from Montalban, which Act No. 942 of 1903 had merged into it.^[9]

Its story

Sources differThe town's history page gives two accounts of the early date. One says the place was found after 1571, while the Augustinian Padre Cavada says the town was established in 1596.^[9]

Padre Cavada also wrote that the first small church of San Mateo was built beside the river in 1596, on the feast day of St. Matthew.^[9]

In 1901 the Philippine Commission placed San Mateo in the newly formed Province of Rizal.^[9]

In 1903 Act No. 942 merged Montalban into San Mateo, with the town hall at San Mateo.^[11]

Executive Order No. 20 of 29 February 1908 split the two again, so San Mateo stood as a municipality of its own.^[9]
