The City of Las Pinas used to be a small fishing port and a salt-making center during the Spanish era. Given its place as a major fish and salt trade hub, the residents were mostly fisher folks and salt makers.
Fast forward to 2011, the City of Las Pinas has become an important residential, commercial, and industrial suburb of Metro Manila. Las Pinas, as it stands now, is a farcry from the Las Pinas of yesteryears. If progress had a poster city, it would be Las Pinas.
Thanks to the city government, the sleepy fisherfolk village has transformed into a real estate powerhouse that competes head on with bigger cities like Makati, Davao City, Cebu City, and Marikina City, among others.
One only has to look around to see how the city has progressed over the years. Shopping malls, restaurants, and commercial establishments line up the long stretch of the Alabang-Zapote Road, providing residents and travellers more choices and more reasons to stay in the city.
In the residential front, Las Pinas is considered a pioneer in providing affordable housing to Filipinos. Villages, townhouses, condominiums, subdivisions, and commercial properties - name it and Las Pinas has it.
Las Pinas does not forget its culture and heritage; in fact, the city is home to the world famous Bamboo Organ, housed inside the St. Joseph Parish Church. Built in the 19th century, the fully working (and in pristine condition) Bamboo Organ was declared a National Cultural Treasure.
It would be hard not to include the City of Las Pinas in the list of cities to live in, and even harder to resist once you experience life in the Green City.
