Rizal Province lies immediately east of Metro Manila. It is bounded on the north by Bulacan, on the east by Laguna de Bay. It has no existing provincial capital but the seat of its government is in Pasig, which currently forms part of Metro Manila.

The terrain is mostly low and flat on the western part, and rolling hills and rugged ridges on the eastern part. At the foot of these elevations are the Marikina Valley and Teresa Valley.

The Pasig and Marikina Rivers are the major rivers that can be found in the province.

Montalban Dam serves as the main source of water supply for a greater part of the Metro Manila area.

The mountainous portion of the province has evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year. The lake shore area has two seasons: wet from June to October, and dry for the rest of the year.  Read More:  http://www.islandsproperties.com/places/rizal.htm

NOTE:  The yellow areas stand for Pililia and Jala-Jala which are also part of Rizal.

 

Rizal region is in the Luzon region of the Philippines. It is a province located to the east of the Manila capital region with boundaries of the westernmost towns and cities of Cainta and Taytay blurring into the city of Pasig in the capital region. While becoming increasingly urbanized since the past few decades, it holds some rich secrets in both cultures and sights that are untouched by heavy and popular tourism yet are beauties of their own to be enjoyed.

Due to its proximity from Manila, Rizal is becoming an increasingly good residential option for city-bound professionals and students who opt to stay at close proximity to the center of action (Manila) yet far enough to allow occasional peace and quiet (which is becoming increasingly hard to get nowadays).  Read More:  https://wikitravel.org/en/Rizal
