Antipolo, Component city in Rizal Province, Philippines

Antipolo sits at an elevation of 137 meters in the province of Rizal, offering views over the metropolitan area of Manila.

The city received its charter in 1650 and transformed into a component city on April 4, 1998, marking significant administrative changes.

The Virgin of Antipolo, brought from Acapulco in 1626, remains central to religious practices and attracts Catholic devotees to the city.

The Department of Education oversees 65 public schools in Antipolo, including the University of Rizal System and La Salle College.

The city derives its name from the breadfruit tree, known as antipulo in Tagalog, which grew abundantly in the region.
