Biñan City

City of Life
HISTORY
Captain Juan de Salcedo discovered and founded Biñan at the end of June
1571, a month after Miguel Lopez de Legaspi established Manila when he
explored the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines and second in Asia
(Laguna de Bay).

When the seat of the provincial government of the Provincia dela Laguna de
Bay was moved from Bay to Pagsanjan in 1688, Biñan separated from its
mother town Tabuco (now the city of Cabuyao).

In 1791, during the time of Pablo Faustino, Santa Rosa separated from Biñan.
The following year, January 15 Sta Rosa de Lima was established and became
an independent town.
Historically, Biñan is nationally recognized in the books related to the
biography of José Rizal, the country’s national hero. It was in June 1869
when José Rizal as a young boy went to Biñan with his brother Paciano.
They proceeded to his aunt’s house near the town proper where they
were to be lodged. Here, his first formal education was entrusted to
Maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz who after a year and a half of tutelage
advised young Rizal to continue higher education in Manila. In honor of
José Rizal, a plaque of recognition was bestowed on the house where he
stayed at. A monument now stands at the center of Biñan’s town plaza
in recognition of Biñan’s affiliation to Rizal.
