    Bay in the west, Lamon Bay and the Bicol
    Region in the east, the Tayabas
    Bay and Sibuyan Sea in the south, and the
    provinces of Aurora, Bulacan, and Metro
    Manila in the north. It is home to places
    like Mount Makiling near Los Baños,
    Laguna and the Taal Volcano in Talisay,
    Batangas
    • The region is also home to a host
    of important Philippine historical
    figures, most notable of which is
    the Philippines' national hero,
    Jose Rizal, who was born in
    Calamba.
    • As early as the year 900 with the appearance
    of the Laguna Copperplate Inscription -
    referenced the cancellation of a debt as
    enforced by the Lakan of the Kingdom of
    Tondo.
    • During the 13th Century - Natives in Batangas
    have populated the Pansipit River and have
    engaged in trade with China. The Southern
    Tagalog region was populated by independent
    villages composed of 50 to 100 families called
    barangays
    • During the Spanish Era - the Philippines was
    divided into various provinces (alcadia
    governed by a provincial governor (alcalde
    mayor).

    1898, the region that is now known as

    Cavite, Laguna Batangas, Morong (now named
    Rizal) and Tayabas (now named Quezon).
    • In 1902, Macario Sakay, a

    the Tagalog Republic in the mountains of Rizal.
    Ultimately, Sakay's Tagalog Republic ended in
    1906 when he and his men were betrayed
    under the guise of holding a national assembly
    aimed at the self-determination of the Filipino
    people
    • On September 24, 1972, President Ferdinand
    Marcos enacted Presidential Decree No. 1,
    which organized the provinces into 11 regions
    as part of Marcos' Integrated Reorganization

    The Legend of Holy Mountain-
    Mt.Banahaw
    • . A popular legend says that the four Archangels made Mount
    Banahaw the Holy Land because of the trouble in the Middle
    East. Still another says that Juan Ynbin, a Chinese woodcutter
    who joined a revolt against forced labor was dismembered by
    the Spaniards and thrown to sea but miraculously came back
    to life. He said a beautiful woman placed him on a leaf that
    brought him back to Majayjay near Mount Banahaw. A third
    story says Agripino Lontoc, a famous mystic was given the
    names of the different holy places in Mount Banahaw by a
    Holy Voice. He went to the mountains to seek for amulets and
    to escape the Spaniards who thought he was a rebel. Every
    time he tried to leave Mount Banahaw, he would go blind
    which is why he stayed on and became one of its first hermits.
    The Myth of Mariang Makiling
    • Long ago,in Mount Makiling,there lived a
    beautiful goddess name Mariang Makiling.
    She is beautiful,kindhearted and loving. She
    had a long shiny black hair and she often wear
    black pearls and gold jewelry. She often shows
    off herself to people living at the foot of the
    mountain as a human. Many times,people
    would climb up to the mountain and pick
    some fruits but when they came down,fruits
    changed into gold. People thanked her for it.
    • But one day,some people robbed her jewelry. Some hunters climb
    up the mountain and hunted for wild animals,cut down trees and
    left the forest at the top of the mountain denuded. At that time,one
    of those hunters is a mortal which Mariang Makiling fell in love
    with. She discovered that that hunter already have a mortal as his
    wife. After those things happened,Mariang Makiling was very angry
    that it thundered and rained hard that night and her voice was
    heard by all people leaving at the foot of the mountain saying "I
    have provided you food,treasures and shelter but it wasn't enough
    for you!I have given you everything you want but still you aren't
    contented. I loved you more than myself but still you searched for
    mortal love. Now,feel my anger! And wait for my revenge! From
    now on,you shall stand on your own feet and you will never see me
    again. I swear!" And she laughed so hard that it brought an
    earthquake.
