Santa Rosa, officially the City of Santa Rosa (Filipino: Lungsod ng Santa Rosa), is a component city in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, its population was 414,812 people.[3]
In 1688, Biñan, together with Barrio Bukol, separated from Cabuyao. After a series of renaming and separating barrios to become independent towns, Barrio Bukol was politically emancipated as the municipality of Santa Rosa, founded on January 18, 1792.
The present-day Gusaling Museo served as the municipal hall of Santa Rosa from 1828 to 1954.
On February 5, 1945, the town was abandoned by Japanese soldiers when the local guerrilla resistance movement, with support from the American and Filipino military contingent, entered the town, where skirmishes, torture, and deaths occurred.[clarification needed]
During the postwar era up until the 1970s, the townspeople primarily depended on basic agriculture and family-owned enterprises for their livelihood. The influence of industrialization grew in the 1980s with the entry of local and foreign investors who were responsible for the fast-paced economic and social transformation of the town and the province.
On July 10, 2004, Santa Rosa was converted into a city by Republic Act No. 9264,[7] which was approved by voters in the plebiscite. Leon Arcillas, who began his third and final term ten days before, became its first city mayor.
Contemporary
Arcillas was assassinated at the former city hall by three assailants.[8] They were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2013.[9]Jose Catindig Jr., who served as vice mayor, became mayor to serve out the remainder of his term. On May 14, 2007, Catindig, who ran for his full term as mayor, was defeated by Arcillas' daughter Arlene.
