Rizal is a province in the Philippines, not a city. It is located in the Calabarzon region on the island of Luzon, about 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) east of Manila. Its capital is the city of Antipolo. The province is bordered by Metro Manila to the west, Bulacan to the north, Quezon to the east, and Laguna to the southeast.
The province is named after José Rizal, one of the main national heroes of the Philippines. It lies on the northern shores of Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the country, and is a mountainous province perched on the western slopes of the southern portion of the Sierra Madre mountain range.
