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.

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
15.1% 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 La Paz lived below the poverty line in 2021 (15.1%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 11.8% and 18.4%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Created
The municipality of La Paz was formed by Act No. 1555, enacted on 30 October 1906, from the former municipality of La Paz, the barrio of Lauangcupang (from Tarlac) and the barrio of Bantug (from Concepcion). It came into existence on the first Monday of January after the next elections.[9]

How it got its name

The town's own history page says the town was named La Paz in honour of its patron saint, Nuestra Senora de la Paz y Buen Viaje.[11]

Its story

Local traditionThe town's own history page says the area's oldest settlement was a pueblo called Cama Juan beside the Chico River, swept away by a great flood.[11]

Local traditionIt says the survivors moved to a new settlement called Matayumtayum, and the old site is still called Bayang Iniwan, or abandoned town.[11]

The page says La Paz was later made the first seat of Tarlac province's local government, and General Francisco S. Makabulos served as its first governor.[11]

In 1903 Act No. 930 abolished the earlier La Paz municipality, giving most of it to Tarlac and barrio Kaut to Concepcion.[12]

Timeline

  1. 8 October 1903

    Act No. 930 merged the old municipality of La Paz into Tarlac, except barrio Kaut, which went to Concepcion.[12]

  2. 30 October 1906

    Act No. 1555 created a new municipality of La Paz.[9]
