Rizal

Rizal is a province in the Philippines located in the CALABARZON region, just 16 kilometers east of Manila. The province is named after José Rizal.

Rizal is bordered by Metro Manila to the west, the province of Bulacan to the north, Quezon to the east and Laguna province to the south. The province also lies on the northern shores of Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the country.

Rizal is a mountainous province perched on the western slopes of the southern portion of the Sierra Madre mountain range. Antipolo boasts of a wonderful view of Metro Manila and it is where Hinulugang Taktak, a waterfall popular with tourists, can be found.

The Rizal Province will be accessed by the future C-6 Road connecting the provinces of Bulacan and Cavite and cities of Taguig (beside Laguna de Bay), Parañaque and Muntinlupa which are located within Metro Manila.

History

Tagalog settlements arrived in Rizal who were originally Chinese and later had interactions and admixtures with Arab traders long before the Spanish conquest. The provincial territory began with the organization of the Tondo province and Laguna province during the Spanish administration. Some of the towns like Pasig, Parañaque, Taytay and Cainta were already thriving.

    Devil May Care

    by: Raise Hell

    Nothing you offer is fine with me
    I live my life with noguarantee
    Taking day by day by myself
    keep the thing you say to yourself
    Chorus:
    I look at you with despise in my eyes
    You tried to tease
    but you only released the devil in me
    Devil may care!
    Why don't you have a closer look
    on why you live your life after a book
    I don't have to read the pages
    I write new ones as they come to me
    Chorus
    Now you regret it
    I'm sorry you didn't get it
    Now you realize it
    Your life ain't worth shit
    When the damege is done
