Rodriguez

Rodriguez

Understand The town was known as Montalban from its inauguration in 1908 to 1982, when it was renamed as Rodriguez, after a local politician. Despite the name change, it is still commonly called by its former name. Lying at the northern edges of Rizal, Rodriguez hugs the foothills of the Sierra Madre and is a refuge from Manila's sprawl; however, the town forms a huge part of the mess which spilled eastward along the Marikina River. The municipal area covers 26% of Rizal's land area, big enough for space for various developments. It is home to about 451,000 people (census, 1 July 2024)
