Rizal, officially the Municipality of Rizal (Tagalog: Bayan ng Rizal), is a municipality in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 18,332 people.[3]
The municipality, named after the country's national hero José Rizal, is one of the youngest municipalities in Laguna.
This town is the birthplace of the milky mixed vegetable dish called "amenudong gulay".
The people from this town have an old tradition of celebrating Christmas on January 6. There was also a legend of Michael the Archangel apparitions at the town's biggest natural spring "Bukal ni San Miguel" during the Spanish era, making St. Michael the town's patron saint.
The Rizal Re-Recreational Center [1] which is a Christian retreat and recreational camp is also located within this town. The world's largest functional top (weighing 990lbs and is 10.5 feet tall) is kept there on display by its proud owner, American missionary and RCC founder Rev. Joe Mauk.
Rizal is also the hometown of Filipina actress-politician Angelica Jones, prolific Filipino comics author Nicky Astronomo, and two consecutive saxophone players of the popular Filipino band South Border, presently Johndave Picache and the late Edward Picache.
