About Rizal
Used to be a large province which hugged the north coastline of the Laguna de Bay, Rizal now forms half of what it used to be. Named after the national hero, Jose Rizal, the province hugs on the rugged Sierra Madre, which encouraged mass settlement on the lakeside and on the foothills. It is surrounded byMetro Manilato the west,Bulacanto the north,Quezonto the east, andLagunaand the Laguna de Bay to the south. Situated at the heart of the Tagalog homeland (Katagalugan), Rizal is culturally and linguistically Tagalog; much of the province's inhabitants are Tagalog speakers, except for a very small minority of Ilocano and Bicolano migrants.
