It is the "Woodworks and Garments Capital Of the Philippines". While economically, demographically and politically qualified, plans to convert it into a city was set aside, pending social and administrative reforms in the municipality.〔http://www.philstar.com/breaking-news/666420/city-mayors-league-endorses-cityhood-bid-21-towns〕 According to The Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index, Taytay ranked 3rd Most Competitiveness Municipality in 2015 〔The Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index 2015:''()'', 2015〕 from being 10th place in 2014.〔The Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index:''()'',2014〕 Taytay can be reached from Metro Manila by C-6 Road passing from Parañaque, Muntinlupa and Taguig on the south, Ortigas Avenue from Pasig City on the east and M.L. Quezon Avenue from Angono on the west.〔Bulacan–Rizal–Manila–Cavite Regional Expressway〕 ==History== Taytay began as a settlement situated near the Laguna de Bay that formed part of the Kingdom of Namayan whose seat of power was situated in what is now Sta. Ana, Manila. Upon the arrival of the Spaniards, the Franciscans proceeded to evangelize the inhabitants there and established a parish named Visita de Sta. Ana de Sapa in 1579. The Jesuits took over the administration of the parish in 1591. As the old settlement was prone to flooding due to its proximity to the lake, Fr. Pedro Chirino, the Jesuit parish priest at that time, moved the parish further inland atop a hill, where the present St. John the Baptist Church stands to this day. Along with the parish, many of the inhabitants relocated inland as well near the church. Around the same time, the Encomienda of Taytay was created in 1582, placed under the jurisdiction of the old province of Tondo. In 1853, Taytay was placed under the jurisdiction of a political subdivision later known as the Distrito Politico-Militar de Morong, along with most of the towns that now comprise present-day Rizal province. Taytay suffered heavy casualties during the Philippine–American War in 1899, with the church almost burned down and most of the town razed to the ground.〔 On June 11, 1901, Taytay became part of the newly created Province of Rizal by virtue of an Act No. 137 enacted by the First Philippine Commission. In 1903, Taytay was merged with the neighboring towns of Cainta and Angono by virtue of Act No. 942. That did not last long as Angono was separated to be merged with Binangonan later that year and Cainta became an independent town again in 1914. During the Second World War, Taytay was occupied by Japanese forces in 1942. Local Filipino soldiers of the pre-war 42nd Infantry Division of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and 4th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary liberated and entered Taytay in 1945 to help the recognized guerrilla fighter units to defeat and attack the Japanese Imperial Army forces during the Southern Luzon Campaign or Southern Tagalog Campaign and ended in World War II under the Japanese Occupation. On November 7, 1975, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824, which created the Metro Manila Area, Taytay was among the towns that remained with the Province of Rizal. 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「Taytay, Rizal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
