Laguna, the birth place of our national hero, Jose Rizal is found in the Calabarzon region in Luzon, and it's completely surrounded by Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the country. The name Laguna is from the Spanish word lago which means lake.
The 60 year old Black Nazarene (April 4,1947) is one of the tourist attraction in the province. Devotees usually go there during the feast of the patron saint and the Nazarene itself.
