is one of the largest city in the CALABARZON region in terms of

tipolo which a breadfruit tree is, which was highly produce and
abundant in the area. The Manila Railroad Company inaugurated a
railway service to Antipolo on December 24, 1908. Its over-looking
elevation along the Metro Manila affords it a scenic view of the
metropolis, especially at night. Its locally grown mangoes, cashews
and suman which is a local delicacy are popular among the tourists.
Along with its scenic beauty and inviting culture, Antipolo helps in the
chipping in of the tourism in the Philippines.

I have chosen this town because this is my birthplace but I am

currently living now to its nearby town Taytay, Rizal. I truly love this
place because I am a religious person who loves to go to different
churches and explore the beautiful landscapes of it. Antipolo, is a
place where I always get a fresh air to unwind when I am stressed on
school or have some difficulties in my life. It is a great place for
serenity. It’s cold breeze from the top of the mountain will give you a
cold and warm touch of peace.
