San
Pedro is 30kms. south of Manila. Without heavy traffic, it can be
reached within 20 minutes from Makati, which is 18kms. away. The
town logo includes a key because it is the gateway to Laguna and
to the Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Aurora, Rizal and Quezon (CALABARZON)
area. It is named after the Patron Saint, San Pedro Apostol. It
has a land area of 2,660 hectares. San Pedro is a first class municipality
with an estimated population of 260,000.
San
Pedro became a town on January 18, 1725, when the Spanish King,
Charles II, decreed that the town, formerly known as “tabuko”,
be a separate town from Kabullaw, now known as Cabuyao. By virtue
of the last will of King Philip Rodriguez de Figueroa or “Don
Esteban”, a group of Augustinian Fathers gained the ownership
of the Tunasan Estate. Later on, San Pedro became an hacienda of
Colegio de San Jose, a group of Jesuits friars who took over the
property which now is known as “San Pedro Tunasan”.
“Tunasan” came from “Tunas” a medicinal
plant, abundant on shoreline area. During that period, agriculture,
fishing, duck raising, fruit trees, sampaguita were the main source
of income of its residents. This was then, the picture of San Pedro;
this period was highlighted by the growing tenant/landlord dispute.
The tenants of Hacienda San Pedro Tunasan fought for their birthrights
over their ancestral lands. This struggle took almost 423 years
of unsuccessful resistance to Colegio de San Jose, and in 1938,
the government bought the homesites of the San Pedro Tunasan Hacienda
from the Colegio for re-sale to its tenants. This event laid to
rest the tenants/landlord problem in the town.
From
the Spanish time until after the Japanese occupation of the Philippines,
the scenario did change a bit, when on August 30, 1945, President
Ramon Magsaysay signed at the historic town plaza the Land Tenancy
Act. By virtue of this law, farm lots of the hacienda were bought
by the Philippine Government to be sold at cost to the tenants or
occupants of the farm lots in Bayan-Bayanan under the Narra Settlement
Project of the Magsaysay Administration.
