The History of Las Piñas City, Metro Manila

Las Piñas was called The City of Pines. In the early days, they say that the place was full of trees and it was also a place where lots of bodies were buried underneath this busy city. History is rich considering that this is the fastest rising city among all others in the Philippines.

On a good note, I’d still recommend moving here since most people here are kind and hospitable.
