Prior to its creation as a region,
CALABARZON, together with MIMAROPA,
formed the historical region known
as Southern Tagalog, until they were
separated in 2002 by virtue of Executive
Order No. 103.
8. HISTORY
The history of the area now known as CALABARZON
dates back to early historic times Local
historians believe that three of the tenth century
place-names mentioned in the Philippines' earliest
known written document, the Laguna Copperplate
Inscription, pertain to regions or polities
(tagalog:"bayan") along the shores of Laguna Lake; and
some Filipino-Chinese scholars believe the tenth
century trading polity known as Ma-i may actually have
been the predecessor of the present day town of Bay,
Laguna. Since the Philippines' colonial period, the
region has served as home to some of the most
important Philippine historical figures, including the
Philippines' national hero, Jose Rizal, who was born
in Calamba.
9. On June 5, 1901, a convention was called on whether or not
the province of Manila should annex the province of
Morong, which was found to be unable to be self-sufficient
as a province. Eventually, on June 11, Act No. 137 of the First
Philippine Commission abolished Morong and created a
new province, named after the Philippines' national hero,
Jose Rizal, who, coincidentally, was a native of Laguna. The
new province comprised 29 municipalities, 17 from Manila
and 12 from Morong. In 1902, Macario Sakay, a
veteran Katipunan member, established 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.
10. On September 7, 1946, the Third Philippine
Republic enacted Republic Act No. 14, which renamed
the province of Tayabas to Quezon, in honor
of Manuel Quezon.[ Quezon was the
second President of the Philippines and a native
of Baler (now part of Aurora). In 1951, the northern
part of Quezon became the sub-province Aurora,
named after Quezon's wife.
