Maragondon

Located 54 kilometers from Manila, Maragondon extends across diverse landscapes with mountains, rivers, and 27 distinct administrative subdivisions called barangays.

Franciscan Fathers established their first chapel in 1611, followed by Jesuits founding a parish in 1690, leading to municipal independence from Silang in 1727.

The municipality maintains bamboo crafting traditions and preserves structures including the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and the Andres Bonifacio Trial House.

The local government center provides administrative services while public transportation connects residents to neighboring cities through Joncy Liner and Saulog Transit routes.

The name originates from maragundong, referring to the thunderous sounds of Kay Albaran river that influenced the original settlement location.
