Santa
Rosa’s historical past can be traced to 1571 when Spanish
Conquistador Juan de Salcedo while exploring the Laguna Lake region,
discovered the town of Biñan which was annexed as a barrio
to Tabuco (now the town of Cabuyao).
Later
in 1688, Biñan, together with Barrio Bukol (Santa Rosa, before
separation from Biñan) separated from Cabuyao. After a series
of renaming, separation of barrios to become independent towns,
Barrio Bukol was politically emancipated as the municipality of
Santa Rosa. The town was renamed after Saint Rosa of Lima, Peru
under whose protection and patronage it was consecrated which was
validated by numerous material and spiritual blessings and favors
bestowed on the people for the last 207 years.
During
the revolutionary period, the town was instrumental in the proclamation
of Philippine Independence from Spain when it signed the Act of
Independence on June 12, 1898. Later on the town’s local revolutionaries
fought alongside the forces of General Pio del Pilar during the
short lived Filipino-American war.
On
February 5, 1945, the town was left abandoned by the Japanese soldiers
when the local guerrilla resistance movement, with support from
the American military contingent, entered the town proper, where
skirmishes, torture, and deaths occurred.
During
the post-war era, until the 1970’s, the town people were largely
dependent on basic agriculture and family-owned enterprises for
livelihood. The influence of industrialization slowly took shape
in the 1980’s with the entry of local and foreign investors
who were instrumental in the fast-pace economic and social transformation
of the town and the province
