CABUYAO LAGUNA

- Known as The Enterprise City of the Philippines the City of Cabuyao

is located at the countrys industrialized region.
- Historical Background:
The name Cabuyao originated from the word Kabuyaw, a citrus tree
growing abundantly in the area which is used then by the natives in
washing hair and later evolved as the towns location reference.
Adopted by Franciscan friars and Spanish officials, it replaces the
towns indigenous name of Tabuko. Declared by Miguel Lopez De
Legazpi as an encomienda or town on 1571, Tabuko was then the
center of government, composed originally of barangays Malabanan
(Bian City), Sta. Rosa de Lima (City of Santa Rosa), and Calamba
(Calamba City).

Under Gaspar Ramirez, definite boundaries of the town of Tabuko were

established. The boundary at the north was Tunasan, south was Ba-i,
west was Sungay and at the east was Lake Ba-i. Towards the end of the
17th century, the barangays were separated from Tabuko one by one.
The first to be separated was barangay Calamba followed by
Malabanan then Sta. Rosa de Lima. A year after its emancipation from
the Spaniards on 1898, the town then was placed under American
regime and the first town mayor was appointed. During the Japanese
 occupation, Cabuyao people joined several guerilla movements and
later on fought with the Japanese during World War II from which they
were liberated on 1945. Agriculture and fisheries were the major
economic activities from then on. Main crops were rice, garlic and
watermelon while duck raising prevails at the lakeshore areas.
Establishment of manufacturing industries began during the 1970s from
which industrialization started off. The towns proximity to the National
Capital Region attracted investments more resulting to robust
economic development and social change.
