Etymology
edit
The city was named after thebreadfruittree (Artocarpus blancoi) which in Tagalog isantipuloortipulo,which was in abundance in the area. It is highly similar to thekamansiplant orArtocarpus camansi.
History
editSpanish colonial era
editFranciscanmissionariesarrived in Antipolo in 1578, and built a small church on what is nowBoso-Boso Church.They were soon replaced in 1591 by theJesuits,who organized the village into a parish. By 1601, The Christian population of Antipolo had grown to about 3,000 as the indigenous Dumagat population dwindled and moved deeper into the interiors.
Anuprisingof Manila's Chinese residents reached Antipolo in 1602. It led to the razing of the church.
On March 25, 1626, the image now known as theVirgin of Antipolowas brought fromAcapulco,New Spain(now Mexico) byGovernor-GeneralJuan Niño de Tabora,who relinquished the image to the Jesuits for Antipolo's church.
In 1650, the village was organized into a town and became part of Tondo Province. When the province was divided in 1853, Antipolo became a part of the District of San Mateo de los Montes, which later became theDistrict of Morong.
Later in the 1700s, discharged soldiers and deserters (from Mexico, Spain and Peru) were providing Indios military training for the weapons that had been disseminated all over the territory during the British Occupation of Manila as they disperesed across the provinces surrounding Manila, uncluding Antipolo, Rizal.[8]
The Recollects took over Antipolo in 1864. It was during these years that the Virgin of Antipolo gained a following of devotees. Devotees from Manila and nearby towns and provinces flocked to Antipolo on foot, carryinghammocks,trekking along mountain trails and springs.
American invasion era
editDuring theFirst Republic,the town served as the capital of Morong, until it was occupied by theAmericanson June 4, 1899; the Revolutionary Government then transferred Morong's capital toTanay.Soon after, the Americans established a civil government in 1901, Valentin Sumulong became the first municipal president. On June 11, 1901, Antipolo was incorporated into the newly established Province of Rizal, which included towns of Morong District andManila Province.In 1903, the nearby towns of Bosoboso andTeresawere merged with Antipolo.[9]The town's territory was expanded again in 1913 to add thesitiosof Mayamot and Bulao; just to lose Teresa six years later to become an independent municipality. The Manila Railroad Company (currentlyPhilippine National Railways) inaugurated a railway service to Antipolo on December 24, 1908.
Long before theLRT Line 2finally opened its services in Santolan in thePasig-Marikinaborder in 2004, steam train services had once served those places in the past, even before World War II.
In Marikina, there is a street named "Daangbakal", also called by the names of "Shoe Avenue Extension", "Munding Avenue" and "Bagong Silang". There is also a similar "Daangbakal" in theSan Mateo-Montalban (Rodriguez) area, and on the maps one can notice that the two roads should have been connected with each other. In fact, as the name suggests in Tagalog, these streets were once a single railway line. The two sides of the "Daangbakal" roads were once connected by a bridge in the San Mateo-Marikina border. However, as the railroad tracks have been largely ignored after the Japanese occupation and was transformed into separate highways, the railway connection was abandoned.
The old railroad tracks, called the Marikina Line, were connected fromTutuban stationinManila,passing through Tramo (Barangay Rosario, Pasig) coming all the way to the town of Marikina up to Montalban. On the northern end of the "Daangbakal" road in Montalban is a basketball court. That basketball court which stands today, surrounded by the Montalban Catholic Church and Cemetery, was once the railway station terminus of that particular line.
The present-day Santo Niño Elementary School in Marikina was said to be a train depot. And also it was said that a railroad station once stood in the Marikina City Sports Park.
The Marikina Line was completed in 1906, and continued its operation until 1936. It was said that the Japanese Imperial Army made use of this railway line during the Second World War. These railways were dismantled during the 1960s and were converted into ordinary roads.
Today, the citizens are dependent ontricycles,jeepneys,taxis,UV Expressservices, buses and AUVs, which contribute to the everyday unbearable traffic of Metropolitan Manila. Even now there is uncertainty concerning the Northrail project, which is to link Manila to the northern provinces ofLuzon,owing to corruption within the project's construction.
Aside from the Marikina Line, two other lines have existed before but are now removed permanently. These are theCaviteLine, which passed throughPaco,Parañaque,Bacoorand up toNaic,Cavite. Completed in 1908, its operation continued until 1936. The other is the Antipolo Line, which passed throughSanta Mesa,Mandaluyong,Pasig,Cainta,Taytay,up to Antipolo near the "Hinulugang Taktak"Falls. Its operation ceased in 1917. There is a street named" Daangbakal "in Antipolo; there, as with the" Daangbakal "roads onMarikinaandSan Mateo,a railway line once existed. The railroad tracks also passed through what is now theOrtigas AvenueExtension.
Japanese occupation era
editDuring the start of theSecond World Warin the Philippines, Antipolo became a refugee destination for many citizens fromManilaand its suburbs who sought to avoid the Japanese invaders vying to occupy the Philippine capital. Also, two guerrilla units operated in the town against the Japanese. They were theHunters ROTCunder Miguel Ver and Terry Adevoso and the Marking Filipino and American Troops, which were established and led by Marcos Villa Agustin, more popularly known under the name Brig. Gen. Agustin Marking. Many inhabitants were tortured and killed by the Japanese, including Mayor Pascual Oliveros and his son Reynaldo, Padre Eusebio Carreon, Padre Ariston Ocampo, Sis. Ma. Elizabeth Cagulanas, RVM, Sis. Ma. Consuelo Recio, RVM; Ambrosio Masangkay, Alfonso Oliveros and Atty. Francisco C. Gedang Sr.
Theliberation of Antipolofrom the Japanese forces was bloody and devastating. On February 17, 1945, Mambugan, Antipolo was heavily bombarded by American planes. Antipolo residents evacuated to Sitio Colaique and up to the towns ofAngono,Santolan andMarikina.To protect the image from being destroyed, Procopio Angeles, then the sacristan mayor, and members of the community brought with them the Virgin of Antipolo. The bombings on March 6–7, 1945, destroyed the church, and after twelve days of battle, the combined American and Filipino soldiers under theUnited States Army,Philippine Commonwealth ArmyandPhilippine Constabularyand aided the local recognized guerrillas of theHunters ROTCand Marking's Filipino-American Troops (MFAT) liberated the town on March 12, 1945. The general headquarters of thePhilippine Commonwealth ArmyandPhilippine Constabularywas stationed in Antipolo from March 1945 to June 1946 was built today and operates during and after the war was fought the Japanese and they helping guerrillas and Allies. After the war, a temporary church was built and the Virgin of Antipolo was returned from theQuiapoChurch on October 15, 1945.
Philippine independence
editReligious devotees began to flock to the town, and on May 6, 1947, the first procession of the Virgin of Antipolo was held, starting at the hills of Pinagmisahan. In the following year, a national committee was formed to undertake a nationwide fund-raising campaign to rebuild theCathedral of Antipolo.
On June 15, 1952,Hinulugang Taktakwas proclaimed aNational ParkbyPresidentElpidio Quirino,and on January 14, 1954, the Bishops of thePhilippinesproclaimed theAntipolo Churchas the national shrine of the Virgin of Antipolo. In May 1960, vice mayor Maximo Gatlabayan and police chief Pio Tolentino were sentenced by JudgeCecilia Muñoz-Palmato 30 days in jail for refusing to follow a court order not to collect any fees from motorists making a pilgrimage toOur Lady of Peace and Good Voyage.[10]
In the 1960s, the town proper (poblacion) was widened and the Sumulong Highway was constructed. On September 12, 1969,Philippine Air Lines Flight 158was flying fromCebutoManilawhen it crashed into a hill at 760 feet in Sitio Colaique (or Kolaike) within Barrio San Roque, killing 45 of the 47 people on board. It was the worst aviation disaster in the Philippines at the time.[11]
In the 1990s, theMarikina–Infanta Road,better known as the Marcos Highway, was constructed, traversing the mountains of Antipolo.
TheRoman Catholic Diocese of Antipolowas created on June 25, 1983, with Rev. Protacio G. Gungon, D.D. as the first bishop of the diocese.
Provincial capital
editOn March 4, 2009, a new capitol building was inaugurated in the city to replace the old capitol inPasig.[12]
On June 19, 2020, PresidentRodrigo Dutertesigned Republic Act No. 11475, designating Antipolo City as the official capital of Rizal province, replacing Pasig that held the title since the province's creation in 1901 even after its incorporation toMetro Manilain 1975. It took effect on July 7, 2020.[13]

On February 13, 1998,Republic ActNo. 8508 was enacted, Antipolo was converted from amunicipalityinto a component city of Rizal Province on April 4, 1998.[14]
Highly urbanized city
editOn March 14, 2011, then-PresidentBenigno Aquino IIIdeclared the city as a highly-urbanized city by virtue of Proclamation No. 124, series of 2011.[15]However, the proclamation has yet to be ratified in a plebiscite.
Geography
edit
Antipolo is in the northern half of Rizal Province, close to itsmeridionalcenter.[16]It is located on the slopes of theSierra Madre Mountain Range.Much of the city sits on a plateau averaging 200 meters (660 ft). It has the second-largest city area in the province, with an area of 156.68 km2(60.49 sq mi). The northern and southern sections of the city are in the dense forest areas of the Sierra Madre.[17]
Antipolo is landlocked; it is bounded to the north bySan MateoandRodriguez,to the east byTanay,to the south byAngono,TaytayandTeresa,and to the west byCaintaandMarikinainMetro Manila.
The Bitukang Manok ofPasig—also known as the Parian Creek—had once linked theMarikina Riverwith the Antipolo River before theManggahan Floodwaywas built in 1986.[18]The Parian Creek was actually connected to the Sapang Bato-Buli Creek (which serves as the boundary between Pasig's barangays Dela Paz-Manggahan-Rosario-Santa Lucia and the Municipality ofCainta), the Kasibulan Creek (situated at Vista Verde, Barangay San Isidro, Cainta), the Palanas Creek (leaving Antipolo through Barangay Muntindilao), the Bulaw Creek (on Barangay Mambungan, besides the Valley Golf and Country Club), and the "Hinulugang Taktak"Falls of Barangay Dela Paz (fed by the Taktak Creek passing close to the Antipolo town square), thus being the detached and long-abandoned Antipolo River.
From the early 17th century up to the period ofJapanese imperialism,over a thousandCatholicdevotees coming from "Maynilad" (Manila), "Hacienda Pineda" (Pasay), "San Juandel Monte ","Haciendade Mandaloyon "(Mandaluyong), "Hacienda Mariquina" (Marikina), "BarrioPateros","Pueblode Tagig "(Taguig), and "San Pedro de Macati" (Makati), followed the trail of the Parian Creek to thePilgrimageCathedralon the mountainous pueblo of Antipolo,Morong(the present-dayRizal Province).
The Antipoleños and several locals from the far-reached barrios of "Poblacionde San Mateo "," Montalban "(Rodriguez), "Monte de Tan-ay" (Tanay), "Santa Rosa-Oroquieta" (Teresa), and "Punta Ibayo" (Baras), had also navigated this freshwater creek once to go down to the vast "Kapatagan" (Rice plains) of lowland Pasig. Even themarianprocessionsof theOur Lady of Peace and Good Voyagepassed this route back and forth eleven times.
The creek was also used during theBritish occupation of Manilafrom 1762 to 1764 by theBritish Army,under the leadership of GeneralWilliam DraperandVice AdmiralSir Samuel Cornish, 1st Baronet,to transport their troops upstream to take over the nearby forest-surrounded villages of Cainta andTaytay.They even did an ambush at the "Plaza Central" in front of thePasig Cathedral,and turned theRoman Catholicparish into their military headquarters, with the church's fortress-like "campanilla" (belfry) serving as awatchtoweragainst Spanish defenders sailing from the walled city ofManilavia thePasig River.
The Sepoys turned against theirBritishlieutenants and sided with the combined forces of the Spanish overseas officials (assigned by the Governor-GeneralSimon de Anda y Salazar), Filipino rice farmers, fisherfolk, and Chinese traders.
