Rizal — Art Capital and Giant Papier-Mâché

Rizal is a province nestled in the Sierra Madre foothills just east of Metro Manila, named after the national hero José Rizal. Despite its proximity to the capital, the province offers mountain retreats, art communities, and heritage towns that feel worlds away from the city. Angono is known as the Art Capital of the Philippines, home to the Angono Petroglyphs — the oldest known rock art in the country. Local cuisine features freshwater dishes from Laguna de Bay, kakanin, and the hearty fare of mountain communities. The Higantes Festival in Angono, with its giant papier-mâché figures, is one of the most colorful festivals in the region.
