BATANGAS
• Officially known as the Province of Batangas is a

province in the Philippines located in the CALABARZON

and classified as one of the most competitive cities in
the country today.
Etymology
• The first recorded name of the province was Kumintang, after the Datu
who inherited the dominion from Datu Balensusa. Its centre, the
present day Balayan, was the most progressive town of the Province
and the traditional centre of governance.
• Later, as the eruption of the Taal Volcano destroyed a significant
portion of the town, the provincial centre was transferred to Taal,
which was then called Bonbon and the name of the province was
chaged after that of the town.
• The term Batangan means a raft, the people used so that they
could fish in the nearby Taal Lake. It also meant the numerous logs
found in the Calumpang River, the body of water that runs through
the north eastern portion of the town and assumes the shape of a
tunning fork
