Santa Rosa, Laguna (About Laguna, Population, Barangays, Gov. Officials, Industries)

Santa Rosa is a First Class City in Laguna Province. Its location just 27 kilometers south of Manila via the South Luzon Expressway virtually made it a suburb of Metro Manila, but such has been its growth that new developments are now declaring their location to be in Metro Santa Rosa.
Progress really began to take off when the government established Special Economic Zones offering tax incentives to foreign companies investing in the Philippines.
A city is its people, and in 2005 the population of Santa Rosa overtook that of San Pablo to become the fourth largest city in Laguna after Calamba, San Pedro and Biñan.
