Laguna, Administrative province in southern Luzon, Philippines

Laguna stretches along the southern shores of Laguna de Bay lake, surrounded by Rizal, Quezon, Batangas, and Cavite provinces in the Calabarzon region.

The Spanish colonizers established Laguna as a province in 1571, naming it after Laguna de Bay lake, with the town of Bay serving as its first capital.

The Rizal Shrine in Calamba preserves the birthplace and early life stories of Jose Rizal, who later became the national hero of the Philippines.

Regular buses and passenger vans connect Manila to various cities within Laguna, making the province easily accessible for both residents and visitors.

Mount Banahaw reaches 2,170 meters in elevation and creates numerous natural hot springs that emerge throughout the Los Baños area.
