Biñan, Component city in Laguna, Philippines

Located 35 kilometers south of Manila, Biñan covers 43.50 square kilometers of land area and contains 24 distinct urban neighborhoods.

The settlement started as Hacienda de San Isidro Labrador de Biñán in 1644 and transformed into a pueblo in 1747, marking its early colonial development.

The city maintains the Alberto Mansion, where national hero José Rizal received his first formal education under Maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz in 1869.

Biñan operates one of the largest public markets in Laguna province, offering local products including footwear, headwear, and traditional food specialties.

The transformation from municipality to component city in 2010 followed its status as the highest-income municipality in the Philippines during 2007.
