Biñan ( Filipino: ''Binyang'' or ''Binyan'', (:biɲan)), officially, the City of Biñan (), is a first class component city in the Republic of the Philippines. It is located in the Province of Laguna, on the island of Luzon, about south of Manila, accessible via the South Luzon Expressway and the National Highway. The City of Biñan comes second in Laguna coming from Metro Manila next to San Pedro City. Biñan has become both a suburban residential community of Metro Manila and a location for some of the Philippines' largest industrial estates and export processing zones. Prior to its cityhood in 2010, Biñan was the richest municipality in the Philippines with an annual gross income of ₱677 million (US$ 14.383 million) and net income of ₱250 million (US$ 5.308 million), as of 2007 by the Commission On Audit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.coa.gov.ph/Reports/RFP/2007FS_Highlights-LGUs.pdf )〕 According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 283,396, making it the fourth largest in population in the province of Laguna, after Calamba City, San Pedro City, and Santa Rosa City.〔 By virtue of Republic Act 10658, signed on March 27, 2015, by President Benigno Aquino III, Biñan will be separated from the First Congressional District of Laguna to form the Lone Congressional District of Biñan. The first representative will be elected on the 2016 elections. With its proximity to Metro Manila, Biñan is one of the most susceptible places for investments, industries, and other economic activities. The two world-class and premiere industrial parks of the Philippines are located in Biñan, the (Laguna International Industrial Park (LIIP) ) and the (Laguna Technopark Incorporated (LTI) ). The city is now transforming into a more competitive, progressive, and one of the major growth areas in the CALABARZON Region. ==Etymology== Where Biñan got its name is a mystery. Some deduced that before Captain Juan de Salcedo proceeded to Cainta and Taytay finally reaching Bay, he landed in Biñan. According to the story, Padres Alfonso de Alvarado and Diego Espinar planted a huge wooden cross on the spot where the present day San Isidro Labrador parish stands and co-celebrated a Thanksgiving Mass. Curious natives gathered and the two Spanish missionaries took advantage of the situation. They baptized each one of them. From then on, old folks say they called the place “Binyagan,” which means a baptismal place. The Spanish tongue’s difficulty in pronouncing the local dialect acquired for the once town its name— "Biñan". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Biñan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
