Binangonan
Binangonan, officially the Municipality of Binangonan (Tagalog: Bayan ng Binangonan), is a municipality in the province of Rizal, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 321,281 people.
A thriving fish port and fishing industry is found in Binangonan, having a long coast line facing Laguna de Bay, including the western part of Talim Island. The plant of Rizal Cement and Grandspan are in Binangonan as well.
At the height of the Philippine Revolution against the Spanish government, the townspeople of Binangonan rose in revolt in defiance of the Spanish authorities, as they joined the revolutionary group called Katipunan. The town's uprising was disparaged by the colonial authorities as "Binangonan de los Perros" (trans.: "of the dogs") but the ridicule did not prosper. The etymology of Binangonan (Tagalog: bangon, meaning "to rise"") is traced to this origin, where events or people had arisen.
The Neolithic stone engravings of the Angono Petroglyphs archaeological site represent the earliest evidence of human settlement in the region. The site contains earthenware fragments and remains of animals such as turtles and Elephas sp. The area was inhabited by both Tagalog and Aeta peoples before the arrival of the Spanish.
Binangonan was initially a visita of the pueblo (town) of Moron, until it was separated and became an independent parish in 1621 through the initiatives of Franciscan missionaries. The town was established in 1737 and conquered by the Spaniards in 1763. Originally, it was organized under the province of La Laguna, until it was transferred to the newly established Distrito de Morong on February 23, 1853. The Santa Ursula Parish Church dates from this time, built from 1792 to 1800.
Binangonan became a town in 1900 during the American colonial period. On June 11, 1901, it was incorporated into the newly established Province of Rizal, after being part of the District of Morong. In the same year, Don Jose Ynares y Granados was appointed Presidente or municipal executive. He won the first municipal election held in 1902. With help from the Americans, Ynares made remarkable improvements in the town.
On October 12, 1903, by virtue of Act No. 942, it was annexed to the town Morong alongside Baras and Cardona. However, the act was amended by virtue of Act No. 984 on November 6, 1903, wherein Binangonan regained its independent status by separating from Morong and gaining Angono from Taytay.
During World War II, Binangonan was one of the evacuation centers for the residents of Manila and neighboring suburbs. People hid in the mountains and in Talim Island. The war brought untold difficulties and sufferings. Schools were temporarily closed; professionals turned to fishing, buy and sell for living. Many died of starvation, malnutrition and diseases while others survived by eating camote tops, papaya, corn, coconut and vegetables.
